Movie Review: The Fourth Kind, starring Milla Jovovich
For a movie whose title references the most sinister level of encounter with an alien life form — abduction — The Fourth Kind should probably have come with a modest “buyer beware” warning.

Other girl, Tala, fights the temptation that Leyla dangles in front of her because she’s engaged and she says that people just can’t live like that — as in two women can’t be together in a romantic relationship.

Here’s a great mini-documentary from
A maddening, heartbreaking, ultimately satisfying documentary about the fight to depose Rene Portland, the celebrated women’s basketball coach at Penn State who wielded her “no lesbians” rule with brutal force.
