Pretty Clever Films Posted by Brandy Dean on Jul 13, 2013
You don’t talk kick ass ladies in film without talking Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in 1986′s Aliens. And we’re not talking metaphorically either – Ripley actually puts boot to butt frequently. Sure, she has a warm and fuzzy side too – she adopts Newt, after all – read more

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Brandy Dean on Jul 12, 2013
Really has there ever been a more kick ass lady in film than Frances McDormand as Marge in Fargo? Not only did she wear the pants in the family – Norm might have made awesome eggs, but he didn’t make many decisions – she tracked down a couple of vicious killers, all while navigati read more

Sunset Blvd Posted by Rachel T on Jul 12, 2013
I was, at first, a little reluctant to write a piece on Chaplin’s talents as an actor. We do, after all, see him as the the director too, as well as the producer, the writer, the editor, and even the composer, all rolled up into this other-worldly smidge of genius. The more I thought about it read more

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Brandy Dean on Jul 11, 2013
Marlene Dietrich as Lola Lola in The Blue Angel might very well be the blueprint from every kick ass lady in film to follow. Lola Lola is in control – she owns her sexuality, a shocking idea in 1930. Come to think of it, maybe Marlene Dietrich was a serious ass kicker in every role she played read more

Classic Film Freak, run by the charmingly nom-de-plumed Orson DeWelles, is a nice little site devoted to Hollywood in 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Brandy Dean on Jul 10, 2013
Look man, Carrie was a sweet girl – until she was pushed to far. As Sissy Spacek proved in 1976′s Carrie, it’s the quiet ones you’ve got to watch for. Carrie kept her cool until she didn’t, but when she lost it… she really really lost it. Here’s to one kick read more
