How to Make a Misogynistic Movie and Call it Feminist
"Ladies First" has a fundamental misunderstanding of what's feminine because of the patriarchy and what women do because they genuinely enjoy it.
Nobody's Perfect (2002)
A straight story featuring five gays and a fag hag--six deeply screwed-up characters. All typical New Yorkers: a Korean from Australia; a Belizean; a Jew from Brooklyn; a beach boy from California; and an Italian of Polish descent from Long Island. All in the New York state of mind: desperately in search of love--in all the wrong places. They make: three couples, five flings, four breakups. ER's boyfriend Joshua romances Karen's boyfriend Teo. Teo meets Frederic, whose boyfriend John romances ER. Frederic and John split then reconcile. ER and Joshua reconcile then split. Only Teo and Karen maintain their commitment to each other--he's gay, she's straight! Hey--nobody's perfect!

Wanting a Refund on ‘18 Presents’
Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
