MOVIES
FOR MEN
Latest update: 23 January 2015
And here we are in 2015. And there are still plenty of reviews.
So what’s the
point of this website? It’s to provide reviews of movies which reinforce a positive view of men. This can be a rare
enough commodity given today's anti-culture. And just as critically, movies which get people thinking about things.
I had a
couple of criteria for selecting these movies. One was to get at something deeper which
defines both manhood and humanity. I avoided films which promoted mindless violence and self-destructive
heroics, or descend into female bashing. Insofar as many of these films do involve violence, it is as a means to a higher
end.
Another
thing was to look at how men have acted historically, and then use that as an insporation
for today's struggles. Make of all this what you will.
Thanks to DVDs, digital downloads and videotape, most of these movies are
available. They may even be worth watching multiple times.
I’ll be updating this site now and then.
As usual, a website is always under construction.
For no particular reason, I arranged
most of the reviews within each category in chronological order, i.e., when the
movies’ events supposedly take place. I also have a couple of sections with shorter reviews. So without
further ado…
