Ending today’s trailers on a high note. Full disclosure: I love Seth MacFarlane. Yes, I know, this is rich coming from the chick that just unzipped and whizzed all over Ready Player One, but the thing is, MacFarlane is brutally … Continue reading →

Trailer Tuesdays: Ready Player One

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on July 25, 2017 by Erin ThompsonJuly 25, 2017

Some people just don’t love the things you do; it’s bound to happen. For some, that’s Nirvana; for others, it’s The Godfather. For me, it’s Ready Player One. Yeah, I said it. I don’t like Ready Player One. I own it, … Continue reading →

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on July 5, 2017 by Erin ThompsonJuly 5, 2017

There’s a fun joke that once 45’s presidency was announced, NASA sent various probes out and found multiple habitable planets with enough room for everyone. That’s a humorous, if not attractive thought, but it got a lot of people pondering: … Continue reading →

For The Love of Your Child: Maternal Perspective in Aliens

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on June 28, 2017 by Erin ThompsonJune 28, 2017

James Cameron’s 1986 action/science fiction/horror offering Aliens is often studied for its treatment of maternity, and with good cause: it features a strong female lead willing to throw down for the safety of a child, a testament to the strong … Continue reading →

Family Comes First: Maternal Sacrifice in Spring

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on May 10, 2017 by Erin ThompsonMay 10, 2017

Ever fashionably late, I first caught Spring about a week ago as of the time I write this, making me the old lady that’s officially out of the loop with what the cool kids are doing. The film definitely lived … Continue reading →

Trailer Tuesdays: Valerian

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on February 9, 2017 by Erin ThompsonFebruary 9, 2017
