Pacific Rim (2013)
Loved this movie
For the first time in many, many years with this movie I was taken away from the problems in my life and went to a place where those things didn't register anymore. It was almost magical. I had to keep reminding myself about the bad things in real life, but then a new robot vs monster battle happened and all the sudden that didn't matter any more. Total escapism done with excellent design attention and detail. Thank you GDT. You have to be an artist and a science fiction geek to appreciate this. I came out of the movie and realized all my problems were still there but I was also hearing the theme music in my head. Got the DVD now and I escape that way. Channel your inner six year old, lean back and enjoy.
The Princess Bride (1987)
Sexist pile of garbage
Hated the Princess Bride. It is a sexist pile of garbage.. Of course the woman in the movie should wait for years in vacuous idiocy for her "True Love" to rescue her instead of actually doing anything. And when it's revealed that her "True Love" is still alive the only action she takes is attempted suicide. Very good roll model for young women. I guess it takes a woman who can actually take care of herself instead of waiting for Prince Charming to get this. I can't tell you how anti female this movie is. If you think women are just window dressing for male revenge and hero fantasies this is the flick for you. If you think women can actually think and act for themselves and not sit around forever to wait to be rescued, give this a pass.
