Accepting the Blame: The Top Guilty Pleasures of 2007

"Asian mom torches spouse!"Provoked (2006)

By offsetting Women in Cages-style throw-downs with Malcolm X-like uplift, it is simultaneously strange and familiar, inspiring and annoying.

The Hours (2002)

The women are also functions of a coherent narrative, made comprehensible as embodiments of historical patterns.
