eXistenZ (1999):
Lots of biological materials,
gutted wildlife, and a routine series of mindfucks
equivalent to an unpleasantly aggressive jerkoff.
The only good thing
was Jude Law's US (and occasionally Canadian) accent.
At least he got the continent right?
[Sidebar Haiku, for Jude Law:
Jude Law, handsome
like a portrait of a WWII hero
who never came home.
Seriously, the guy's not even white;
he's sepia.]
The Grey (2012):
The only women
in the whole damn film
were the hallucinations
as, one by one,
the men against nature
were released into death;
woman = nature's silencer.
PS: Dear movie, some idiot
gave away the last 45 sec. in the trailer.
[Also: I'm fairly certain
Liam Neeson's next movie
is just going to be
120 min close-up
of Liam Neeson's cock.]

God Bless America (2011):
Best and worst trait was its preachiness.
Very articulate, and pathologically clever.
Good vigilante fantasy fun for Godless Liberals.
Enter Nowhere (2011):
Lovingly framed as a slasher
only to become No Exit
among the trees;
drinking an open bottle of 1925 wine
like it hadn't turned to vinegar.
Even though I had it figured out

only to become No Exit
among the trees;

Even though I had it figured out
before the 45 minute mark,
compelling, refreshing for its genre,
(even if it is a film
predicated on saving a Nazi from an airstrike).
Tucker and Dale Vs.Evil (2010)
A little bit Texas Chainsaw,
a little bit beauty and the beast;
reverses stereotypes, mild gore,
light on T&A,
not explicitly feminist,
but a nice nod
to the impracticality of camping
in "stripper shoes."
Fright Night (2010):
Colin Farrell plays vampire,
and I quote, "PURE SEX." Ebullient
fear and humor scene-to-scene.
Probably the best movie
about Anton Yelchin
losing his virginity
(of which there are approximately two dozen).

This is not a forum for the debating of the existence of sexism, homophobia, racism, classism, transphobia, ableism, or any of the other major forms of intersecting oppressions. OMG, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PLACES YOU CAN DO THAT!
Also, disagree with me and each other all you like! I love that! If you noticed I said something fucked up about oppression, or if your expertise in your own oppression gives you a better view, and if you are feeling generous enough to share that with me!? I embrace that!
Just be respectful. No name calling, No verbally attacking people. Please, my three readers and twenty-five spambots have feelings too, you know.
