Review by Jennifer Brooks
Rating:
In the spirit of full disclosure, I’m a Futurama geek. Dream job: Futurama writer. I love Futurama. Consider yourself warned.
Matt Groening is famous for The Simpsons TV series and Life In Hell comic strip. He should be even better known for Futurama, the brilliant animated TV series he developed with [...]

ITTY BITTY TITTY COMMITTEE
Review by: Jennifer Brooks
Rating:
This is one for the teen crowd and maybe the twenty-somethings.
Itty Bitty Titty Committee is bursting with unhealthy relationship dynamics, dyke drama, and coming of age angst. The movie is juvenile, and obviously – yet ineffectively – didactic; the social theory lessons in IBTC are delivered with the [...]

LOVING ANNABELLE
Review by Jennifer Brooks
Rating:
All I can say is, this is 77 minutes I’ll never get back.
OK, I can say more. I must say more. I will say more.
What is it with dark, ponderously slow, fatalistic lesbian movies? Are lesbian filmmakers saying that being isolated and persecuted is good sexy fun? Is this what [...]

Review by: Jennifer Brooks
Rating:

FIRE

Review by: Jennifer Brooks
In Deepa Mehta’s powerful masterpiece, modern values challenge tradition and duty, and passion challenges asceticism. Sensuous and humorous, this exquisite film is set in India and infused with Indian religious teachings, specifically the story of Ram and Sita, where Sita must undergo a trial by fire to prove her purity.

BOUND

Review by: Jennifer Brooks
This is a sizzling hot, masterfully crafted thriller, and among the very best lesbian cinema has to offer. There are many who claim this is not a lesbian film because even though the main characters are gay, the story isn’t about them being gay. For that point alone, I say “Thank [...]
