NetFlix movie reviews
Nov. 22nd, 2010 11:19 pmTank Girl (1995, rated R)
I had been meaning to see this movie for a long time and I loved it! A cult classic based on a British comic book, this movie is a post-apocalyptic, strange tale of Rebecca, a citizen who goes up against the evil Water and Power Corporation, who control the world's water supply. She is an extremely strong female character, very sex-positive, very empowered-- I can't think of another female character like her. She says and does whatever the hell she wants. The movie is very fast-paced and I loved the interaction between Rebecca, who is oh-so-bold, and Jet, who is shy and reserved.
( a couple of things that bothered me, with spoilers )
Anyways, I loved this movie, it is great. The fashion, the attitude, TANK GIRL I love you.
D.E.B.S. 2004, PG-13
This movie is cheesy fun goodness! It is about a spy group made up of young women who are recruited from a secret test embedded in the SAT. They go to a special college-type spy school where they try to earn their stripes and wear pleated skirts. Amy breaks up with her boyfriend for reasons she doesn't entirely understand, and is facing some other existential crises, when she runs into the highly dangerous supervillain Lucy Diamond on a mission. Lucy Diamond sees something in Amy and the two fall in love. Family friendly. Recommended if you like The Middleman and queer comedies and awesome things.
Kinky Boots 2005 PG-13 starring Chiweitel Ejiofor!
Charlie Price takes over his father's shoe factory only to learn that it is failing. To save it, he decides to make boots for drag queens, after a chance encounter with Lola, a drag queen in London whom he befriends. Lola comes to Northampton and helps design boots to be shown in Milan. This is a very cute, feel-good movie, and of course I LOVE Ejiofor and will see anything that he is in. A few parts felt contrived but overall I really enjoyed this. Recommended.
