Experimenter movie review: the subject is you

Fri, Oct 23, 2015

A creepy-cool vibe of constructed cinematic artificiality echoes the illusory nature of Stanley Milgram’s notorious experiment into human behavior.

Women are all but absent here, and when they do appear, they are little more than aggrieved ex-wives or hookers with hearts of gold.

Mississippi Grind movie review: a killer hand

Fri, Oct 23, 2015

A compelling character study of two intriguingly flawed people, the sort of richly observed drama that has gotten all but pushed out of mainstream cinema.

Rue Dénoyez in Belleville is a little street packed with fascinating street art.

Where Are the Women? Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

With its gender-balanced ensemble, this movie is inoffensive, even reasonably fair, in its depiction of women.

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.
