Brilliant Story (2 more)
Great Acting
Proper Kick Ass
That's how you do a superhero movie!
I've always known Wonder Women as a huge icon in the DC franchise however with limited spotlight in over the last 20 years she was kinda off my radar - until I saw this! The movie is fantastic, It's got a great story (believable) and just the right amount of superhero action to appreciate what they are capable of. Gal and the team did a superb job and I can even go as far to say it is probably one if my all time favourite superhero movies. Loved it

Great performances let down by the pace
I read Little Women quite a few years ago, and other than remembering the basic plot details, I went into this film with barely any preconceptions. And for the most part, it does quite well.
This film is all about the performances. I've always liked Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet, I think they're both charismatic and fantastic actors and any time these two are on screen in this film (either together or separately), it really is marvellous to watch. Throwing in a great turn from Florence Pugh and some wonderful support from Laura Dern, Chris Cooper, Meryl Streep and (a sadly forgettable) Emma Watson, the acting in this is pretty stellar
The major problem however is the pacing. The plot is interesting, but it's let down by the plodding dreadfully slow pace and a just over 2 hour film feels like a lifetime. It's such a shame, as had this been sped up a little or had a little of the runtime shaved off, it'd be a truly fantastic period drama.

There's a clear divide about this film, as was very evident about the feedback. In almost all instances the women loved it and the men hated it. And in this instance (like some others... don't get me started ;) ) men are wrong. With four fantastic actresses they would have had to do a really terrible job for this to come out as a bad film.
When this one comes out on DVD I will be pairing it with First Wives Club and having a very entertaining evening in front of the box.
It's a solid comedy, with some romance thrown in... and woman or man... you'll finish watching that film and be a little in love with Andy Garcia.

Incredibly powerful (1 more)
Elizabeth Moss and Joseph Fiennes is fantastic
Masterful adaptation of Atwood's classic book
There was a lot riding on this TV show, more than 30 years after the original book came out. But it was unbelievably dark, even more so than the book, and completely adjusted for contemporary times. Attacking various structures where women have fought hard for their rights such as the workplace, LGBTQ rights, FGM and pro-choice - this series shows how the state can take those rights away and take control of women's bodies. Extremely grim viewing, it really is a difficult watch.

I read the first four a while back and went straight out as I was sucked in by the writing and I just wanted more!!
I have just read the fifth about 1 month ago.
I love how she is a weird kid, with weird 'powers' but I also love how she becomes her own women and struggles through it and comes out on top. All five books are fantastic and I cant wait for the 6th final book to come out just to see if true love really can conquer all in the face of adversity.

OMG, what can I say about this book. it was such a good read, I just couldn't put it down till id got to the last page then I was left wanting more. this author has a fab way of writing that just has you captivated with the story and the characters. this story has it all, badass bikers, tough women, plenty of drama and some very emotional scenes. I loved everything about this book, the characters were fantastic, the story was page turning and the emotions within the story. this is definitely a must read book.

Amazing Story and Gameplay
Combines amazing storytelling with amazing gameplay. I loved everything about this game because they got it right. They created a great world with fantastic characters. Just running around doing side quests showed how beautiful the various areas in the game are. It is so much fun to play and I love that there was so much diversity in the game and that it showed strong, smart women in leading roles.

Representation goes higher, further, faster!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Captain Marvel wasn't the best Marvel movie to date, but was one of the better ones. Brie Larson was fantastic as Carol Danvers. She very well portrayed a woman who was told to suppress her emotions her entire life to fit within a patriarchal society. The big twist being that she didn't have to prove anything to the men in her life to be the strong powerful woman that she is. Probably does more for representation of women than WonderWoman. The Skrull also teach us that we cannot demonize sentients before understanding them. Excelltent! 9/10
