Filmsi - A not so serious look at films and film reviews

 
Anything film =D

Tina Fey rocks my socks

I love[LINK=http://www.moviezen.com/celebrity/tina-fey] Tina Fey because her comedy is so spot on , sprinklied with subtle jabs at society's paternalistic behavior.
Her comedy is effortless and self defacing without becoming overly dramatic or overstated. She is sort of that cool friend who has no idea how amazing she is. She has that every person appeal which makes people look out for her. She is also one of the few SNL alums which have had crossover appeal with her hit show and film career. I shall be anxiously awaiting her next film, Baby Momma, which probably tackles tough issues about society and the unwritten rule of motherhood.


She made women be proud to be smart and outgoing without objectifying themselves. She brought back the sexy nerd and people love her for it.

One of my favourite movies of all time has to be [Mean] Girls . Instead of becoming the same run of the mill teen comedy, on closer observation we see a poignant film about society's need for female competition, our constant need to berate eachother and compete and having our worst enemies be the very people who should understand us better.

We see through the eyes of Catie ( " Like Katie but with a C") played by Lindsay Lohan ( slightly ironic now given her subsequent spiral into drugs, Paris Hilton plaything and ridicule) who is a genuinely naive girl who is thrown into the claws of the most popular group on campus, The Plastics. What sets this film apart is how baffled the writer is at the girl's creative ways to torture each other. Perhaps the ending was slightly overly positive but it is nice to see a girl find her way out of the tortured madness that is female competition and backstabbing.


I would be highly disappointed if Tina Fey doesn't hit a home run with her new film. After all " bitches get stuff done"And who can forget " Bitch is the New Black" ?
