I read a lot of good film reviews last month and wanted to share some of my favourites. First there is Richard Herring who's annoyance at the sexism in The Boat That Rocked is detailed in a really funny way.
Secondly, Latoya Peterson's review of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency at Racialicious. I have read several dismissive reviews by middle class white women concerned the series is patronising and this is a refreshing change. Peterson doesn't ignore the politics (she has previously posted about ethnic characters written by white authors) but allows the series to be judged by itself as well. The comments too are well worth reading.
Next is Tiger Beatdown and a fascinating review of Dollhouse. The series hasn't been shown in the UK yet but I am intrigued by Sady's analysis of the way consent issues are pondered in the series. Also check out her piece on Twin Peaks, in fact all her writing is good.
