For a long time now I’ve been very interested in these topics: psychology, neurology, feminism and terribly sappy movies. Actually, make that all forms of entertainment with absolutely no redemptive qualities that are aimed at women (sometimes even movies on Lifetime).
I regularly email stuff to a friend who has his own blog about movie music (although, come on, it’s clearly mostly a place for him to rant on the Internets) called The Playlist, but I can’t help noticing how very male centric both is point of view and, by extension, most of Hollywood are. I also spend quite a lot of time every day reading Jezebel and it’s become my primary source of news lately because they actually present items with a point of view attached. A female point of view.
So, I intend to blog about entertainment – movies, music, TV, video games, random online content, whatever is interesting and created by, for and/or marketed to women. Sometimes just to criticize and sometimes to just to laud but possibly just commentary in between the two as well.
I’ll end this first post with the trailer for the movie that finally inspired the launch of this blog: In Search of a Midnight Kiss. It’s an IFC film that looks sappy as hell and yet I cannot wait to go see it. Will it be as terrible as I’ve been told? Possibly. Will that stop me from watching it? Not in a million. Opening August 1 in independent theaters in the U.S. – or if your cable system has movies on demand you might also have the service that allows you to watch new IFC movies from home.
CES – I read Jezebel every day too!
