  • The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

    The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

    ★★★★

    You know how every woman's secret fantasy is for her boring husband to die so she can move out of her mother-in-law's house and rent a rambling country cottage by the sea, and then fall in love with the ghost of a salty old sea captain?

    Well, this movie is that. Does the woman also have an overly-precocious child? Yes. What about a curmudgeonly but kind-hearted housekeeper? Also, check! A rustic country kitchen that would make the cover of Better…

    Really loved this though, reminds me of when I was a photographer with a bathtub in her kitchen living in New York in the 1970’s, really takes me back!!

    The Ugly Dachshund

    ★★½

    Finally watched this un-sung masterpiece on Disney Plus. Would have given 12 stars for the strong dachshund representation on screen, but there was in fact a lot of anti-dachshund sentiment so I have to downgrade the rating. 

    The dachshund-owning wife in the film is often portrayed as loving dachshunds “too much” and being unwilling to see the flaws in her precious creatures. Her anti-dachshund husband scoffs at the “walking weenies,” and longs for bigger dog, which is how this couple…

  • Poor Things

    Poor Things

    ★★★

    Undoubtedly funny and visually captivating, but also sometimes felt like an extended SNL sketch about why it would be frustrating to date a toddler. 

    This also falls into a broader category of popular contemporary art that I have long begun to grow weary of - “did u know…historically…women have lacked agency?” Yes, I heard!! And we are all down for a horny rumspringa with Mark Ruffalo, but besides the universality of that specific human longing, I don’t know what this…
