Goosebumps movie review: stick with the books (LFF 2015)

Wed, Oct 21, 2015

More theme-park attraction than movie, and paradoxically distastefully self-congratulatory about the Goosebumps phenomenon and insulting toward its author.

Ah, so that’s my problem with the show lately: it’s a bit too Monty Python.

Where Are the Women? Steve Jobs

The female characters here support the journey of the male protagonist, but they are not especially supportive: they are too challenging of him for that.

Steve Jobs movie review: insanely great (LFF 2015)

You’ve never seen such a compelling, entertaining movie about a genius jerk. As smart and as sleek as a Macbook Pro, and a compulsory bit of modern history.

The entire plot of the film is about the male protagonist attempting to police every aspect of his daughter’s life… and he is rewarded for his actions.

Hotel Transylvania 2 movie review: check out and never return

The barrage of nonstop sitcom idiocy is nigh on unendurable. A father plotting against his daughter as touching and uplifting? Way worse.

Except for extremely brief appearances by wives and girlfriends of the male characters, women are entirely absent from this film.
