The field of animation has been one of the most interesting and creative forms of film and its history goes almost all the way back to the beginning of movies. The first example is a short two-minute film called The Enchanted Drawing from the year 1900. It was not entirely animated as it included live action footage, but it was the first movie with animated sequences as far as I am aware. It consists of a man (in live-action) drawing a picture of a man's face on an easel, as well as other…

Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal make their directorial debut in the 2012 romantic drama The Words, starring Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, and Jeremy Irons ("The Words"). Unfortunately for the audience, the starpower of this film can not make up for the unnecessarily complex plot and disappointingly anticlimactic finish. The story begins with Clayton Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading his new book, The Words to an audience. The book focuses on the protagonist Rory…

Although the text "Double Indemnity's Fatal Woman" is a careful analysis of Phyllis Dietrachson, it does not provide the readers with a clear definition of "femme fatal". The book chapter presents an excellent overview of women in film noir, but it…

Romeos is a German Drama/Romance film released in 2011. The movie is queer and independent, and the largest creation from director Sabine Bernardi. The synopsis of the film (according to Google) is: “Lucas, a transgendered woman becoming a man, is stuck in a female residential hall.”; getting past misgendering and mislabeling Lukas, the summary significantly sells the movie short. The film does focus on a boy named Lukas, who is a FTM (female-to-male) transman, who is also wrongly sorted into…
