    The Film Girl Film Festival Andrea Thompson Interview

    The Film Girl Film Festival Andrea Thompson Interview

    How many movies have women directors? Can you name one outside of Greta Gerwig? Andrea Thompson from https://www.areelofonesown.com/ runs The Film Girl Film Festival held this year from March 23, 24, and 31 at The Music Box Theater in Chicago, IL. It's a celebration of women in cinema who help continue to push the boundaries of art. I spoke with Andrea about the state of female recognition in Hollywood, the diversity The Film Girl Film Festival represents, and what it takes to be a film critic.

    Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Swims With Fun

    "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" surprises with some good laughs, exciting visuals (that can only be enjoyed in 3D), and enough action you can swing a trident at. Maybe a little too much action, but not enough to take away from a fun time.
