Doctor Who blogging: “Under the Lake”
I don’t recognize this show anymore.
Where Are the Women? The Walk
The only woman in the ensemble is the male protagonist’s girlfriend, who tells him how clever he is and reassures him that he must follow his dream.
The Walk movie review: head in the clouds
Puts CGI, IMAX, and 3D (and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to perfect use. Everything here comes with a vertiginous thrill and a delightful enchantment.
