Where Are the Women? Project Almanac
Boys will be boys, and do science. And girls will be girls, and stand around scantily dressed and watching the boys in awe. [This post is not behind the paywall.]
Project Almanac movie review: temporal d’oh!
There are things in which horny teenaged boys were not meant to meddle. Like we needed the warning.
Ejecta movie review: ech file
Quite possibly an alien torture device designed to turn our brains to mush. *sob*
Catch Me Daddy movie review: nowhere to run
A lurid meatgrinder of a movie in which the young-woman protagonist is reduced to a passive object of male rage, greed, and possessiveness.
A Dark Reflection movie rating: red light
Would-be conspiracy thriller undermines its own noble intent with its amateurism and dull, plodding earnestness.
It Follows movie review: sexually transmitted dread
Wait. Really? Horror movies are still doing the punishing-girls-for-having-sex thing? Ah, but this is 80s retro, so it’s “okay,” then.
