Three of the top 10 films for 2012 so far are female fronted...

[TheDoctrineOfEnnis]

Brave, Hunger Games and Snow White & the Huntsmen. Much better than previous years, when only two films have made the year end top 10s so far in the 21st Century - Mamma Mia and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

So - a muted hurrah.

Oh, nice! I'm not that well up on any of them, but am I right they're also rather less, well, stereotypically 'pinkified' films? As in, it's only half a victory to get a film about weddings into the category of 'films fronted by women'?

I think they are all "action heroine" films, yes. Might take DS to Brave if it rains this week!

i watched brave with my 7 year old boy last weekend ( seriously bad illegal download,like watching through a dark snowstorm, better wait till better ones come out IMO( or go to the cinema of course)) he loved it, so did i actually, having kids is a great excuse to watch fantasy stuff.

Glad you and he enjoyed it, Meow.
