• At the March 7, 2010 Oscar ceremony, the Best Director award was presented by Barbra Streisand. As many foretold, the winner was the director of "The Hurt Locker," Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman ever to win the Best Director Oscar. But that wasn't the best part. No, the best part is that as Bigelow and Streisand were walking off the stage, the apparently decorum-deaf Oscar orchestra played their rendition of Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" - a sincere sentiment, to be sure, but just about the cheesiest song they could have played for such a historic moment.

    Hindsight's 20/20, but they could have played one of these other classic empowerment anthems in its place:
  • Generally, the line between horror movies and Children's movies is pretty distinct. The following movies, however, fall under a whole new category: Children's Horror. (Don't look for that on Netflix though, because you won't find it.)
  • Megan Fox is the worst actor ever, but she getsaway with it cause she's hot. Here are some other actors that come in below par, yet somehow achieve fame. These are the actors that everyone knows, get loads of offers for films, and leave you constantly wondering why that is since they suck total ass. These actors ruin films, or get cast in other movies that are horrible to begin with and they just add insult to injury.
  • My favourite films of the 21st Century! (Released in UK Cinemas from 1st Jan 2000)

    In alphabetical order because it's just impossible to rank horror, documentary, arthouse and pixar against each other!

    (Though if you really really really push me I would have to put the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy at Number #1...)

    This is a work in progress - I've still got a list of about 100 movies to see from this year hence the list is only 85 long. (Hopefully it will be nearer 100 in a few months!)

    I've seen over 1000 films in the last decade, I try and watch every film released in london that get average reviews or better, regardless of genre.

  • Seven Racist Disney Cartoons | Disney Racist Cartoons
    Racism in Disney is not completely unheard of. Disney Racism goes back to the beginning. Disney has racist cartoons dating back to the 50's. Disney's "The Princess and The Frog", opening December 11, marks the first time the Disney hero is African-American. When I watched the preview I thought, "This should be interesting". Disney isn't exactly known for it's cultural sensitivity. Granted, they've gotten better over the years, but I did notice that the African-American heroine in this film is only slightly darker than a white person with a good tan and was colored using the same paper-bag litmus test used to cast African-American women in hip-hop videos. And her prince is white, so way to promote positive Black love. This has been discussed in several forums, with Cracked.Com recently compiling a list of racist Disney characters, and star tribune discussion the films listed below. It will definitely be interesting to see people's reactions after the film's release in December.

  • Uncommon Sexy Halloween Costume Ideas | Sexy Halloween 2009
    2009 unique sexy Halloween costumes ideas for your everywoman. At any Halloween party, there are costumes that one may deem "sexy". There is always the Alice In Wonderland costume with the garter belt, the slutty Sheriff wearing fishnets and platform boots, and who could forget the referee who bends over to show everyone her thong. There are also those certain costumes that, although creative, are not sexy at all. Not saying that everything has to be sexy, but for many women, Halloween is the one time of the year we get to show our scandalous side out in the open. Take for instance Lindsay Lohan's costume in "Mean Girls". Although a dead bride is a scary costume, she wore a big frizzy wig and big yellow teeth. That said, there are many extremely gross characters that one can make incredibly sexy. A dead bride can be made tastefully (or not so tastefully) sexy. So if you want to be creatively sexy, read on ladies, read on.
