A comedy/drama by the creator of Weeds shows us that the way forward for feminism is just admitting that women are ridiculous.
We Need More Women Comedians!
July 26, 2013 by
Women can’t throw. They just can’t. Everybody knows it. Yes, some of them can employ a strange underhanded windmill toss that strikes out a fellow bad driver on a softball field.

If The Expendables was the final roar of a withered Tyrannosaurus Rex, Red 2 is more like a soft heave of breath as the dinosaur lays dying. Welcome to the decade of 100 male versions of Norma Desmond, all shot in bullet time. Welcome to the decade of geri-action.

Above all, Sheena is an African story, which, for the white world, means strange magic, exposed breasts, and unending corruption culminating in fratricide.

The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
July 11, 2013 by
John Milius is a fascist. “Zen fascist,” if we’re a slave to accuracy, but self-described and self-appointed nonetheless, having spent an entire career of bearded bravado lecturing lesser mortals on their effete passivity in the face of jackboots, cock-first supremacy, and the finer points of unlimited ammo.

Film Review- The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus 123 Minutes, PG-13 for adult themes The pleasures and perils of imagination… Is it Truly as Awesome as Your Synopsis Suggests? Not quite.
