Oh, I can’t decide which one I hate more! Could it be God Send Me a Man, from Tyler Perry’s brother Emmbre Perry? Stacy is a promiscuous 20-something woman who is quick to judge those around her and has nothing but bad luck in love. One day Stacy decides to re-evaluate her life in the … more…
I say it’s about time, as we enter the second decade of the 21st century, to put behind us all that nonsense about ‘feminism’ and undignified female self-determination. Yes, we ladies must at last put down our feet daintily clad in $600 shoes and say: No more.

I wish someone in the industry would just finally admit that Hollywood thinks women are icky and they don’t make more movies about us because they’re afraid of cooties. It would more plausible than anything else I’ve heard. Yes, it’s The Week in Women, my regular column over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. … more…

Development Fund for Women, regarding the International Violence Against Women Act (more on the act here).
