Critical Hits & Misses #306

• Matt Damon says that he always knew Harvey Weinstein was an asshole, but that he never saw any of the predation Weinstein has been accused of by 40+ women in Hollywood. It's worth noting that Damon did not deny the possibility of it; he apologized for not noticing it was happening. 


• Esquire has a list of the 18 best movies to check out at the theater this November. After an awful summer, looks like movies are getting better in quality this year. 

For today's musical hit, have the ever wonderful Lindsey Stirling and "Brave Enough"

Today's critical rolls: In honor of one of my favorite people on the planet (Lindsey Stirling) wrecking face on Dancing with the Stars this season (rooting for you all the way, Lindsey!), do you enjoy dancing? If so, what's your favorite kind of dance? If you can't/don't dance, what would you learn if you could?

• According to this article on Forbes, the Hollywood sex abuse won't end until we get more films by women, for women. We completely agree. 


• And in more Hollywood sex abuse news, Kevin Smith has pledged that all future profits for Weinstein-produced films will go to Women in Film. Something we can definitely get behind.

For today's musical hit, and because why not, we have Imagine Dragons and "Whatever It Takes"

Today's critical rolls: We definitely need more films by women and for women. What other stories/movies/adaptations would you like to see directed by women (and maybe, what women directors do you have in mind?)

• Entertainment Weekly examines how the wonderful women of summer 2017 are changing Hollywood forever. This is a pretty good look at how 2017 has changed for women in Hollywood, compared to just ten years ago. 


• Michelle Rodriguez has threatened to leave the Fast & The Furious franchise if women aren't given better parts in the future installments. This is definitely something we can get behind!

For today's musical hit, check out this Epic Disney Villains Medley from Peter Hollens.

Today's critical rolls: If you woke up tomorrow as a Disney villain, who would you be and why?
