Why... (From Post March 15th)

I love movies. I love watching movies, talking about them, and studying them, but I'm sick of leaving a theater annoyed. If I'm going to spend my hard earned (and limited) money supply going to/renting a movie I feel that it's only fair that I am represented.

Some of the most 'captivating' films are impossible for me to enjoy because the female characters are either peripheral or absolutely ridiculous. When I watch a film I want to be swept up and taken into a different world, I don't want constant and blatant reminders that the film I'm watching was not made for me.

This blog is an attempt to help others in the same boat and also a way for me to put my frustration into a productive place... reviews.

The Men Who Stare at Goats


General feeling:

Awesome, pure awesome!


Female Representation:

None... well almost. Ewan McGregor who plays Bob Wilton has a wife at the beginning of the film who leaves him but she's just a bit role.

It's a story that doesn't have women in it. Fine by me. The way I see it most movies don't have women in them: they usually just throw in some token girl to be the eye candy who generally has no depth of character anyway (talking about mainstream film here).

It's an awesome movie about men.

Grade: A boobless A+
