Cinematherapy for Losers
When I saw this book had recommendations such as "The Shipping News" and "I'm the One that I Want" I picked it up, hoping that this book could open my eyes to good female-oriented movies. Unfortunately, the book's reviews are nothing short of insulting. Ausin Powers 2 is a good movie for women because it assures us that guys are really good people? What Dreams May Come is a good movie for making your guy realize how sad he'll be when you're gone (emotional blackmail, anyone?)? Rear Window is a romantic movie? What the heck? And I've read their assessment of Moulin Rouge! about eighteen times and I still don't see how the movie is supposed to be sexist.Also, any book that disses Jay and Silent Bob gets my goat. And then they have the nerve to recommend Stepmom! Yuck.
All in all, this book is nothing but a list horrible reviews for good and bad movies. Don't waste your money and buy another book of recommendations. Hopefully one that recommends Chasing Amy.
