Review: 360 (2011)

Offends because of #RapeCulture. She says she doesn't want to kiss. He persuades. She says she wants to break up. He 'buts' her and they end up in bed. IMDB 360 (2011)  Actors: Rachel Weisz, Jude Law Director: Fernando Meirelles

Review: Dream for an Insomniac (1996)

Black and white. Becomes color when she falls in love at first sight. Bechdel-passer because they like the top down in the convertible. Seriously. IMDB Dream for an Insomniac (1996)   Actors: Ione Skye, Jennifer Aniston Director: Tiffanie DeBartolo

Review: Million ways to die in the West (2014)

I love this film. I love the way it's done with normal today-ways, ironically referencing ways we think today about then, and the menacing presence of Hectic Death all the time. Fantastic film! IMDB Million ways to die in the West (2014) Actors: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron Director: Seth MacFarlane
