Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension movie review: beyond the pale
Cheap, lazy, and limited by its slavish adherence to the found-footage trope. Bonus: features the most cynical use ever of 3D to boost cinema ticket prices.

The only significant female character is nothing but a helpmeet and romantic reward for the male protagonist.
The Last Witch Hunter movie review: burn it at the stake
If this were Law & Order: Black Magic, which it almost seems like it wants to be, it’d be a helluva lot more interesting than it is.
Where Are the Women? Goosebumps
Women as nothing but emotional support and romantic rewards for men is a tedious, tired, insulting trope. This movie takes it to a deplorable new low.
Goosebumps movie review: stick with the books (LFF 2015)
More theme-park attraction than movie, and paradoxically distastefully self-congratulatory about the Goosebumps phenomenon and insulting toward its author.

Doctor Who blogging: “The Girl Who Died”
Ah, so that’s my problem with the show lately: it’s a bit too Monty Python.

Where Are the Women? Steve Jobs
