Tea and Spanking
This 1995 film by Michelle Handelman, celebrating the lives and lifestyles of San Francisco’s lesbian BDSM ‘leather women’, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. I am apparently old now because it really doesn’t seem that long ago. You only have to watch this film, to realise that 1995 was a hell of a long…
Enola Holmes is a Netflix film based on the series of books by Nancy Springer which introduces us to a new character – the younger sister of London’s most famous consulting detective. As a film it ticks so many of my boxes. Late Victorian setting, feisty heroine, Women’s Rights, it’s all there. And Millie Bobby…
“We need to remember that it’s completely normal and healthy to allow ourselves to be happy, if that’s hiring an escort, going on a blind date, getting tied up or just eating cake.” Morgana Muses Morgana is an extraordinary documentary about an extraordinary woman. Five years in production, it is the story of a suburban…
I watched 365 Dni recently. It wasn’t great but as I said in my review, I do want to see more of this sort of thing. So what other erotic, kinky delights does Netflix have on its virtual video store shelves for the girl who’s already seen the infamous Polish bonkbuster and all the Fifty Shades…
The Polish film 365 Dni (now available on Netflix) is causing a bit of a stir around the internets. The film is based on the book of the same name by Blanka Lipińska, an erotic romance very much in the tradition of the sort of books I read and review here. I haven’t read the original…
The third and final instalment of the Fifty Shades trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed, was released in cinemas a couple of weeks ago. I reviewed the first two films for otherwise respectable film website Mostly Film. Because apparently I can’t stop having opinions about the whole franchise. Mostly those opinions aren’t all that complimentary to be…
I feel like I should put a *MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT* at the top of this post. The Duke of Burgundy is not the sort of film you can spoil exactly. It’s not a whodunit. It’s not like I’m going to give away the fact that the main protagonist was a secret alien cyborg from the future…
Yesterday I promised you an in depth analysis into Disney Romances. And like Rapunzel in Tangled, when I promise something, I never ever break that promise. (That’s bollocks obviously. I have broken a shit-ton of promises in my life. Still, it’s nice to know that Rapunzel ended up with such a strong moral compass despite…
I have just finished rewatching Disney’s Tangled and am feeling all warm and fuzzy because, honestly, anyone who doesn’t feel all tingly around the heart area at the end of Tangled probably lacks a fully functioning soul. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are an adorable couple. They are one of my favourite Disney couples of all time….
In the Coen brothers’ movie Burn after Reading, there is a scene in which George Clooney takes Frances McDormand into his basement and shows her a very singular chair which he has constructed, having seen similar things for sale in “gentleman’s magazines” for twelve hundred dollars. “I’m lookin’ at this thing,” he tells her “and…
