Donna Jensen is the main character in the movie View from the Top. Growing up in a dysfunctional family caused this small-town girl to want to see the world. As an adult, she brainstorms the idea that becoming a flight attendant will bring her dreams to fruition.

Even with several obstacles in her path to becoming a New York flight attendant with routes to other countries, she manages to fight for what she wants; and near the … READ MORE

I don’t know what it is, but romance novels fascinate me.  Every few months I’ll head to the used book store and trade some in to find more, taking far too long to make my decisions due to *cough* having to read the end of each book to make sure the female main character isn’t pregnant.

While I have found some lovely gems, I’m writing this post about my biggest romance novel pet peeve: The female lead giving everything up for … READ MORE

I’ve been meaning to write this post for some time, but life has been taking me for quite a loop of late! That being said, let’s talk a little more about Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

If you recall, I had previously written an article praising this show for having a virgin male superhero. And now, sadly, I must take all of that praise back.

In the third season finale, Clark had been forced to decide between … READ MORE

On the front cover of my Christmas gift DVD of Flatliners has the words: “Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.”   Apparently, they take this phrase to heart in not only the plot of coming back from the dead, but also with keeping gender expectations.

Five pre-med doctors have their various reasons for collaborating to cause each other’s deaths and then bring them back to life again.   Problem is, they weren’t expecting to bring anything back with them.   But their … READ MORE

I’ve been meaning to write about the movie Ultraviolet, as I rented it a couple weeks back.   Milla Jovovich stars as Violet, a woman with a disease that caused her to lose her son, have a short life span, and kick a whole bunch of butt.    

The film is filled with vibrant colors and detailed fight scenes.   Yes, our heroine is quite adept at the violence and looking spiffy.   Unfortunately, she was the victim of an … READ MORE

Dove Evolution is an advertisement I was pointed toward by a good friend of mine.   If it weren’t for my skin having negative reactions to Dove products, I believe this would be enough to cause me to switch brands.

I  considered describing the advertisment for those not interested in clicking the link, but I found the minute journey to be an experience I would hate to have been spoiled on.

How refreshing to see a company that sells ‘beauty products’ attempt … READ MORE

Awhile back, I received a comment by Hegar on my World of Warcraft (WoW) post about, in many cases, males looking far less attractive than females in the game.  He added to my thoughts by pointing out a very good observation about the differences between dances of the two sexes.

After viewing a sample of each of the races and sexes dances, I must say, I agree with Hegar more than I had before.   Do male dances in WoW … READ MORE

I’ve been watching season three of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.  The last episode I watched Clark came clean to his new fiancée, Lois, that he’s been saving himself for the right woman.  Which, as it so happens, is Lois.

Lois freaks.   She certainly didn’t save herself for him.    

Why is this worth mentioning?   Two things.   First, the fact that the male lead in a television show is the one showing signs … READ MORE

Earlier this week on As the World Turns, a scene between Meg Snyder and Paul Ryan made me smile. Meg and Paul went out on a picnic date out on a lake. Paul surprised her with a fishing pole, recalling hearing that the lake was one of her favorite spots growing up.

Just one fishing pole, however. Paul has no idea how to fish. He doesn’t get how to bait a hook. His appearance as a … READ MORE

Just got home from watching John Tucker Must Die.   (Warning: Spoilers present.)   Basic premise - popular jock cheats on a whole bunch of girls.   Whole bunch of girls want revenge.   An amusing plot, certainly, but with one anecdote I was not at all pleased with.

During a basketball game, one of the girls mixes estrogen pill powder in with John’s muscle mix.   He drinks it all down, and a bit later, begins acting like a stereotypical … READ MORE
