Norway’s Thelma: Best Lesbian Sci-Fi Film in Years

by
Thelma

To call Thelma, Norway’s submission to the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, the best lesbian sci-fi film of recent years is accurate. But that also brings into focus just how rarely the genre makes it to the big screen. Young Thelma (Eili Harboe) has finally left her family’s remote lakeside home and is heading to college in Oslo, where she’ll find a whole new world of love and reality-deforming psionic eruptions. Thelma’s love is strong, you see. Strong enough to tear open the very universe. This is a film for everybody who wanted, metaphorically, a chance for Carrie White … Read more

by
Justice League

“Justice League” is great fun. Directed by Zack Snyder (with an uncredited assist from Joss Whedon) from a screenplay by Chris Torres (with a credited assist from Joss Whedon), the film pleasantly and effectively blends fast-paced action sequences, frequent doses of comedy, and enough engaging drama to cover the exposition needed to launch the next several movies in the DC Universe. The plot kicks off when Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck), still feeling guilty about the death of Superman (Henry Cavill), battles a mysterious winged creature that seems to feed on fear.
