#Bottoms: One of the best #teen movies of recent years.

source: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/814776-bottoms

The idiot crowd on the internet would call this #movie #woke. The movie is about strong women who don't start out as high-flyers but go through a character development from the very bottom. The two friends in the movie are lesbians and think that if they start a self-defense club at their school they can finally have body contact with potential partners. As crazy as the idea is, it will still be realized. Ultimately, you can create something good even with the wrong intentions. The right mix of #humor and #action with still unknown actors is impressive.

The only #criticism I would like to make is that in the end the impression is created that problems can be solved with #violence and that everyone at the school thinks this is okay.

#Horror #movies that are just kidish ...

The nights are getting longer again, #Halloween is coming soon too and that’s why I wanted to recommend you 3 #teen horror movies.

  1. Idle Hands: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/6552-idle-hands
    Actually, he just wants to hang out comfortably and meet the daughter of the newly moved-in neighbors, but a curse has taken hold of his hand, which he can now no longer control. His hand turns his two buddies into #zombies and now wants to kill the neighbor's daughter. Can he stop the disaster?

  2. Better Watch Out: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/406994-safe-neighborhood
    Actually, he is already too old for a babysitter but his parents give him one anyway. This is not really irritating, because he is secretly in love with her. Together with his friend he creates some horror so that she snuggles up to him because she gets scared. But it goes wrong and develops into a bitterly nasty horror movie.

  3. Goosebumps: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/257445-goosebumps
    He is angry because he had to move but then he falls in love with the neighbor's daughter at the new place of residence. Her father is the author of famous horror novels. One evening, when he secretly meets with the daughter in her father's study, he brings the monsters from the novels to life, and suddenly the whole world is in danger.

None of Your Business

I do remember the angst I experienced not only because of being a teen, but a teen with – what I thought of at the time – a horrible huge secret.

I was also a white northern female whose family moved to the South. I hadn’t been raised to see skin color, or to think lesser of any who appeared better, or worse, off than I. In other words, I had a big ole’ target on my back. So we could add in bullying and shunning to the teen experience.

And my secret…which really wasn’t a secret, though I tried...was about my abilities. That’s where the name calling and more shunning came in. I was the “odd” one, or “freak”, etc. I’m sure you get the gist.

I’m not complaining – I’m explaining. As teens through to young adulthood, or longer, we are pressured to conform, to “fit in”, to succeed, to follow the masses. Me? Growing up, I just wanted to be a wallflower; blending in with the backgrounds and hoping no one noticed me. I think I got pretty good at it eventually.

Anyway, my point being, we were pressured; pushed to no be ourselves. This brought fear about what the others would think of us; we were judged. Many strove to be liked, or like me, just left alone.

And many people brought those fears and insecurities forward well into their adult life; worried about being judged and perhaps judging others not “like” you.

I got over it, but I wish someone had pulled me aside and gave my younger self the message that I bring to the table...Read More
