Watch iconic female led travel movies like Eat Pray Love and Thelma & Louise to feel inspired from the comfort of your home

Best Travel Movies With Female Leads

This article may contain affiliate/compensated links. For full information, please see our Disclaimer here. As an avid traveler AND cinephile, I'm constantly on the hunt to find and watch all the best travel movies like it was my job (and often instead of doing my job). That's especially true right now, as we quarantine ourselves at home with less work or outside activities to occupy and entertain us. As a result, I've admittedly been filling…

Jane Austen Travel Quotes

This article may contain affiliate/compensated links. For full information, please see our Disclaimer here. Where my fellow Janeites at? Jane Austen was truly one of history's OG Tough Cookies. She wrote the book (several actually) on strong, independent female characters who aren't afraid to travel and forge their own path. So in honor of her, I thought I'd compile some of my favorite Jane Austen quotes from her most iconic and inspiring heroines in the…
Why We Need More Strong Female Film Roles

Why We Need More Strong Female Film Roles

In today's growing global political climate and all the recent reports surfacing around sexual harassment, particularly in the entertainment industry, it's more important than ever that we see strong women in strong positions in our media, movies, and shows. As Gal Gadot said recently in an episode of Variety‘s “Actors on Actors” series, “there cannot be women empowerment if women don’t have this visual in their subconsciousness, and if men don’t have it either. It’s important…
A Real Live Beauty: Emma Watson and the Beast

A Real Live Beauty: Emma Watson and the Beast

Disney is planning a live-action musical version of their classic tale “Beauty and the Beast”. And it’s bound to be quite a beauty of a film, given who they’ve cast to lead the show as the brave and beautiful brunette bookworm. She’s already made quite a name for herself playing a similarly stubborn bookworm. Guess who it is yet? That’s right! Emma Watson! Bill Condon (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”) will be directing the film. But no…
Michelle Maclaren to direct the new Wonder Woman film

A Wonder Woman To Direct Wonder Woman. No Wonder!

*UPDATE: After MacLaren's departure from the Wonder Woman film due to "creative differences," Warner Bros. could have chosen anyone to take over the helm. Anyone. And it wouldn't have surprised anyone if they'd chosen a man. But they DIDN'T! To our very pleasant surprise, Warner Bros. took another big leap forward and chose the equally Tough Cookie Patty Jenkins to take the reins. And boy are we glad she did! Wonderful news! Acclaimed bad-ass television…
Tough Cookie Scarlett Johansson stars as the Black Widow in her own movie, finally!

You Go ScarJo! The Star of the New “Ghost In The Shell” Reboot

My favorite new female action star has some exciting news! She’s going to be headlining yet another iconic action story, this time from the land of Japanese anime. If you aren’t already familiar with anime, and are curious to check it out, you can’t go wrong with Ghost In The Shell. And our beloved Scarlett Johansson is set to star as covert ops Major Motoko Kusanagi (or Monique Kutcher or whatever they plan to rename her), squad leader of…
Holy Female Leads, Batman! Jena Malone is Robin

Holy Female Leads, Batman! Jena Malone is Robin

I recently told you the incredible news about Wonder Woman's return to the big screen in the upcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” film, to be played by Gal Gadot. Well now rumor has it that the same film will feature another female in a leading role - that of Robin, played by none other than the bad-ass Jena Malone! Now personally, I've always been a huge fan of Jena Malone - as far back as…
A Marvel Movie for Captain Marvel

A Marvel Movie for Captain Marvel

Finally! Marvel is officially announcing their first for-sure, definitely-going-to-happen female-lead action feature film - one that will star the unstoppable Captain Marvel, formally known as Ms. Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers. Marvel has been pulling some exciting new characters out of their bag of comic books lately to transition to the big screen. And given their very successful track record with that so far, including the recent box office hit Guardians of the Galaxy, I'd say…
What If The Avengers Were All Women?

What If The Avengers Were All Women?

What if Marvel woke up and realized they've been miscasting their key superhero roles all this time? What if they suddenly came to their sense, and decided it was high time we had female versions of those characters on the big screen? What might that look like? Well that's just what these awesome, highly-photoshopped mockups depict - the female versions of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, if they were instead played by Amber Heard, Alison Brie, and Sandra…
Tough Cookie Scarlett Johansson stars as the Black Widow in her own movie, finally!

My New Favorite Female Action Movie Star

I was never much of a fan of Scarlett Johansson. She always somehow managed to be just a bit annoying in every movie I saw her in, whether weirdly wooing Bill Murray in Lost In Translation or being the girl we love to hate, envy and pity at the same time in He's Just Not That Into You. And don't even get me started on Match Point. But she's not without talent. She just wasn't well…
The Next Thor Will Be A Girl!

The Next Thor Will Be A Girl!

Marvel has introduced the newest Asgardian badass enough to wield Mjölnir, Thor's mighty hammer. And it's a girl! The next film in the “Thor” series will feature a female hero as the next one worthy of the name Thor for the first time ever. Not Thora, not Thorina - just Thor. As Marvel said in their announcement, “No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, a brand new female hero…

A First Look At The New Wonder Woman

In case you missed out on the San Diego Comic Con this year, which just wrapped up one week ago today, here's one of the sneak peeks you would have seen unveiled there. It's Wonder Woman! No I'm serious. This isn't a joke. I know there have been a lot of rumors and pilots and attempts to put the Wonder Woman character on the big screen. And all have failed... until now. Or at least we…
