  Gone Girl 2014

  ½ Watched 18 Oct 2014 1

  I haven't hated a movie as much as I’ve hated this one in a long time.

  This movie hates women. Full stop. Every single woman in this movie is some typical stereotype of terrible woman: psycho bitch, pregnant idiot mom, Nancy Grace, incompetent, greedy. The men are victims of women or heroes. Women are also victims of women. The mystery was uninteresting and obvious and the second half – the thriller part, as it were – was just about how women fake rape allegations to get what they want. The acting, while good, wasn’t enough to bring this cesspool of a movie to even one star.

  In a Valley of Violence 2016

  ★★★★ Watched 29 May 2016

  What if someone actually executed the red-hot revenge we fantasize about when some horrific injustice happens? Murder everyone involved, way past the point of reason. Revenge isn't reasonable.
