X-Men is one of the great nostalgic franchises of our generation. It’s been going since the sixties, but most of us carry a torch for those rascally mutants from the classic cartoon of the early 90’s and the blockbuster Singer films from the 2000’s. For some, this was our first...

Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch was a polarising film, to say the least. Was it feminist? Was it anti-feminist? Did it just rip off Inception and add pretty girls? MovieBob at The Escapist takes an analytical look at this controversial flick. The Escapist : The Big Picture : You Are Wrong...

Why are there no good superheroine movies?

Why are there no good superheroine movies?

posted by

Yeah, I said it.  There are no good superhero movies featuring a female lead.  Not one single one.  Try and think about for a minute.  Think about the last superheroine movie you saw and compare it to the last superhero movie you watched.  For me, those are 2004’s Catwoman and The Dark Knight Rises – and that’s when I start to get a bit cross. As a young woman who loves superheroes in any medium, I’ve noticed it more and more as I’ve gotten older.  The classic films of my childhood that inspired my love of the genre (1978’s Superman and 1989’s Batman) feature strong female secondary characters whose primary purpose is to...

Who is your favourite Deep Space Nine character?

posted by

I was watching clips of Deep Space Nine the other day, and it struck me what a brilliant array of supporting characters the show had accompanying strong leads. So I figured I’d ask the world who their favourite character was!  Personally, I have a hell of a lot of time for Weyoun.  Jeffrey Combs performances were simply brilliant.  It’s between him and Garak.  I guess I have a thing for Machiavellian characters… What is your favourite Deep Space Nine character? Sisko Kira Jadzia Dax Ezri Dax Bashir Odo Worf O'Brien Jake Sisko Quark Rom Nog Garak Leeta Dukat Mo
