[Movie Review] Crimson Peak
This rambling review contains minor to major spoilers for the film as well as some mentions of incest, ableism, abusive relationships, and violent women. And of course paraphrasing. Lots of paraphrasing.
Crimson Peak is a beautiful movie about extremely messed up people.
I loved the movie for the way that it definitely shone as an example of the Gothic Romance genre (while subverting several of its tropes!), for feisty heroine Edith Cushing, and the tensely spiraling relationship between her and the Sharpe siblings.
All that love aside though, it’s one of those movies where I can’t help but nitpick at it because while it was a gloriously eye-catching movie with unbelievable scenery and a messed up plot, it had issues on top of the good stuff.
The film managed to both exceed and kind of reaffirm my expectations for the film.Read More »
[TV Show] Daredevil
AKA: How I spent an entire weekend in front of Netflix.
In the interest of full-disclosure, I have a confession to make: I don’t know that much about Daredevil.
I saw the Ben Affleck films and I’ve seen him in Spider-Man comics and event tie-ins, but I know the bare bones about the character.
I know that he’s blind and that he’s a lawyer. Oh and that he’s Catholic. That’s about it.
That’s actually a good thing.
I didn’t come to Netflix’s Daredevil with any preconceptions of how the characters should be or how they should look. I wasn’t attached to him the way I was with Captain America so there’s no chance of me getting super pissed about characterization the way I was with the Avengers.
I’ve been watching Daredevil all weekend and I don’t regret a minute of it.
