Movie Critique: “The Help” - More Racist Degrading Imagery for Black Women.
www.elainenorthcom * I was not eager to see the movie “The Help” knowing it would be another slavery time film with black women in degrading roles - It is! As we have reached this 21st century Hollywood is still making it a point to show black women as second class individuals.

Why are so Many Great Actors Always in Lousy Films
I notice that some actors choose very good roles and all their films are quite good, while other very good actors choose not so good roles and have not one great film to their credit.

"Unknown" was the Best Film of Last Year, and the Oscars Snubbed It
"Unknown" was a superb film, yet it was not nominated for any Oscar Sunday night. Actully there were few good films last year, and most nominated for 2012 were really not Oscar quality films.

The Movie "Ides of March" is Flat
"The Ides of March" was not all it could have been. Here, we have a good idea about a politician running for election, but the plot and minor plot were not dynamic. The plot pretty much was one of the candidates (George Clooney)'s campaign aide speaking to the man in the opposition campaign and getting fired. A minor plot was both the campagin aide ( Read more... ) -

The Movie "Anonymous" - A Critique by Published Author, Screenwiter, Editor Elaine North.
Anonymous is quite good. It shows that a royal and not Shakespeare wrote all those great plays. Shakespeare in the movie is a buffoon like actor.
