CRITICAL WOMEN ON FILM: Yes Man: A Tale Of Two Hotties

Yes Man: A Tale Of Two Hotties

There's the usual grotesque older woman sex maniac (Fionnula Flanagan) minus dentures, who's always the butt of chuckling scorn in these sorts of comedies. So how come nearly the same age difference between Carrey and Flanagan also exists between Carrey and that goofy big bangs brunette Deschanel off screen, but when it's an older guy rather than an older woman, it's all about romance and not ridicule.

Dear Ms. Miller:

Thank you for your excellent and interesting review of "Yes Man" (Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Fionnula Flanagan). That was a good point about the age differences between Carrey and Deschanel and between Carrey and Flanagan! Even if that hadn't been the (teaser?--blurb on the main "page" that makes you want to go to the review), I'm sure it would still strike a chord with many readers, as I'm sure it will!

Thank you for your time. Good luck with future reviews, especially with the viewing situations!

Best wishes from

Or the flowering of this extraordinary woman as she slowly evolves into someone in the process of figuring out herself and the world, and painfully torn between being an artist and a mother.

Women Film Critics Circle member Mary Elizabeth Williams has a new book out from Simon & Schuster, GIMME SHELTER, an incisive personal exposé on the housing crisis and surviving 'real estate porn.'
Mary Elizabeth Williams is the cultural critic for Public Radio International's morning news show, The Takeaway, and a regular contributor to Salon.com. She has written for many publications including The New York Times and The New York Observer.

"Of course I want a home," writes Mary Elizabeth, "I'm American." Gimme Shelter is the first book to reveal how this primal desire, "encoded into our cultural DNA," drove our nation to extremes, from the heights of an unprecedented housing boom to the depths of an unparalleled crash.

Green Porno: You Won't Want Isabella To Get A Room

There's an eco-friendly peep show up on the Internet, Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno. From Isabella's six foot long insect penis to her flesh colored body tights boasting graphic anatomically correct female erogenous zones, this amazing series of short films promises never a dull moment sexy shock and awe.

The radiant colors and beyond imagination fantasy costumes and sets are indescribable. In our conversation with Isabella, we wanted to know if her primary impulse in creating Green Porno was to be sexy. And if not, what then?

Rossellini and Dragonflies Make A Porno. Not exactly bestiality, but don't expect Isabella to get a room. CONTINUE READING HERE...
