Thanksgiving on Netflix Instant

A.'s parents like mainstream Hollywood film. The soda pop of the art -- but why not watch, at least with attention to the craftsmanship of film? My Fake Fiancé actually won me over with a few snappy scenes of forced heternormativity, and Kick-Ass was a queer psychological portrait. Nicely done, both of them.
 
 A Jackie Chan feature had mixed up politics, but I chose to focus on the most progressive side it presented: nation is a construction that doesn't always serve the people, and so deserves some criticism, especially from the 99% who don't rule.
 Blade Runner: best science fiction movie ever? With layers of subtexts, and totally bizarre styling, the film ages incredibly well.
