Alice Rush on Women, Comic Books, and Sex… A part of me envies young girls growing up these days. More important conversations about feminism and gender equality are happening prominently in the media and the female role models being shown across television and film are fantastic. When I think back to my former years and […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 13 Review
Alice Rush reviews the season finale of American Horror Story: Freak Show… It’s time for Fräulein Elsa’s Cabinet of Curiosities to close as another season American Horror Story ends. It’s been a tempestuous season, housing moments of television gold amidst a generally average sea of superfluous characters and storylines. I’ve had my fair share of […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 12 Review
Alice Rush reviews the twelfth episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show… The penultimate episode of Freak Show, ‘Show Stoppers’, I feel represents my view on the whole series; it has some great moments but altogether loses out on a lack of fluidity and consistency. No doubt that it has some of the truly gory […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 11 Review
Alice Rush reviews the eleventh episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show… After taking a midseason break Freak Show is back and, thankfully, seems to be keeping on the right track. Kind of. This week’s episode ‘Magical Thinking’ introduced an exciting new character, said goodbye to another and brought some much needed gore and horror. […]
Minorities in film and casting controversies: The right person for the right job?
Alice Rush on minorities in film and casting controversies: the right person for the right job..? Like most years 2014 had its fair share of film controversies. The Interview nearly sparked a war between America and North Korea (I use the word ‘nearly’ very loosely), Nymphomaniac attracted criticism for unsimulated sex scenes and Transformers: Age […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 10 Review
Alice Rush reviews the tenth episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show… This week saw the mid-season finale of Freak Show and what I would deem a return to form for the series. This week’s episode ‘Orphans’ not only tugs at the heart strings of its viewers but reintroduces a character from a past season […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 9 Review
Alice Rush reviews the ninth episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show… This week saw American Horror Story: Freak show actually get a bit exciting. So far the show has been quite slow to take off, focusing on too many different characters and not giving enough time to a central storyline. Tensions within the camp […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 8 Review
Alice Rush reviews the eighth episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show… After a week break Freak Show is back and seems to be making up for lost time by cranking the violence dial up a few notches. We last saw Del killing Ma Petite and this week sees that she’s not the only character […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show – Episode 7 Review
Alice Rush reviews the seventh episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show… After a shaky episode last week ‘Test of Strength’ proves that whilst this season, much like Coven before it, is decidedly lacking in the horror element of the show it still has a lot to offer in terms of drama and intensity. This […]
