| A United Kingdom | 2016 | 84 | 1 | (full review) - I love that director Amma Assante who co-wrote and directed another movie I’m in love with called Belle(2013) has found another piece that combines history, race and romance all in one. Oyelowo and Pike have great chemistry, very believable as a couple, eventhough the two are separated throughout a good bit of the movie. http://tinseltine.tumblr.com/post/157369896462/i-saw-a-great-valentines-day-movie-and-im-not | | The Beguiled | 2017 | 70 | 2 | (full review) - Coppola says she didn’t want to deal with issues of race, that she didn’t feel qualified, which I understand; and I feel even though the movie takes place during the Civil War, there can still be stories told about people affected by the war, but it not be directly about the issue of slavery. The trouble is, when she said she wanted to focus on the "gender dynamics†rather than “the racial ones.†that made some black pundits upset because it implies to her way of thinking, gender dynamics can only be explored between white males and white females... | | Bling Ring, The | 2013 | 52 | 3 | (full review) - I don't get the sense from these kids that they revere these stars or their lifestyles, there's very little fan obsession. To me it seemed the only reason they broke into famous people's homes, rather than just rich people's places (which does happen on one occasion), was because it was so easy to find out from Hollywood Gossip sites when these celebs would be away. |
