Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase (2019)
Fantastic Movie for Tomboys!
Tomboys like me need to see more of us out there! All the long haired beauty queens just don't fit as well as Sophia Lillis with her moppy red hair.
Aside from the very odd idea that building a railroad in this day and age would be a negative for any town, especially with traffic and pollution being such a big deal, This movie is a fun adaptation, and the opening scene where she pranks the dumb jock is really satisfying. This movie is a good break from the relentless super hero movies (not that I hate those) that dominate the screen. It really highlights an intelligent young girl's mind rather than fighting skills. It's a very different kind of strength that many girls can relate to as well, especially in a day when most college students are female.
Black Snake Moan (2006)
Sexist LCD Garbage
This is the kind of movie where a man shows a woman how to act like a woman. The problem here is that it somehow assumes that a male chaining up a woman is anything other than a form of abuse. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? I could not even watch the full movie because I was so annoyed. As a rape victim, this disgusted me. It is never OK to treat a woman like this.This movie guises itself as a coming of age drama, but really, It was just meant for men to get off on. I see no other usage for this film than sexual fantasy fodder, and affirmation that women need men. Even worse this is his spiritual duty. It's some crazy Christian propaganda. Women's sexual freedom bad!! SINFUL!! Male dominance good, control that nasty out of control WOMAN!! Wear the clothes I THINK are appropriate, Act the way I think is appropriate. This is a movie constructed from gibberish with no moral other than "BEHAVE WOMAN!"
