Girlhood   8/17/15
by ash_is_the_gal
Marime's world would probably seem outdated to the typical American audience of today - in Marime's world, a girl can't have sex with a boy she likes lest she disgrace her whole family, though the young boys can pretty much do whatever and whoever they want.

Barbarella   8/11/15

Surely, some of it clearly must be (the earthling-styled sex, for example, is similar to the sex that takes places in Demolition Man where there's never any actual physical contact because "it's too dangerous" and the scene that takes place from this is obviously very tongue in cheek).

Starry Eyes   8/10/15

As we follow the story of Sarah, a young starlet/part-time waitress at a Hooters-esque diner, desperate to make it in Hollywood, we can feel her desperation and deep desire to break out of her failed attempts as she travels from audition to audition, hoping to finally catch her big break.

The Pact   8/09/15

This film sticks close to the rules, but manages to lift itself above mediocrity with a surprising narrative and some genuinely creepy imagery, all soaked in a creepy atmosphere that just doesn't seem to want to leave.

A lot of tragedy and tumultuous happenstances take place in Mija's life over the course of the film.

We Need to Talk About Kevin   12/15/11

For what the movie lacks in straightforwardness it more than makes up for it with the use of symbolism ... [i]We Need To Talk About Kevin[/i] is so in-your-face with it that it actually gets really sickening.

The people in this film were awful.

Lovers of the Arctic Circle   9/22/11

This over-the-shoulder perspective is really well-done with an honest feel to it - like when Ana tells the audience how she believes Otto is a reincarnation of her father on the inside, it mostly comes off as a girl playing make-believe.
