Frank the Bastard movie rating: red light
Dreary New England noir soap about a woman uncovering family secrets is like a would-be supernatural thriller that forgot the magic and the chills.
Month: July 2015
I get mansplained

Where Are the Women? Southpaw
Women suffer, but their pain is not the point of the story, and their pain is nowhere as important as the pain a man suffers as a result of women’s pain.
Southpaw movie review: punch drunk and disorderly
Clichéd, obvious, and tired. We’ve seen this story so many times before, but rarely with such a lack of appreciation for just how unheroic its “hero” is.
Where Are the Women? Best of Enemies
Though the subjects of the film are men in a male-dominated field, the filmmakers include interviews with female authorities to lend us historical context.
Best of Enemies documentary review: “the practice of malice”
A brilliant, hilarious, exhilarating look at the Gore Vidal v. William F. Buckley paradigm-busting 1968 debates that changed TV journalism for the worse.

Where Are the Women? Big Significant Things
The most significant female character here is the male protagonist’s girlfriend, who “appears” only as a voice on the phone in a faraway city.
Big Significant Things movie review: road trip to nowhere
A leisurely, slightly absurd drive through 20something ennui that is as maddeningly diffuse as its protagonist’s state of mind.
