      Michelle Rodriguez & Sigourney Weaver Defend Controversial Transgender Film

      One of the most controversial movies to come out of the Toronto International Film Festival is transgender horror ‘(re)Assignment’ which has been mauled critically. The film is about a male assassin (played by Rodriguez) named Frank Kitchen who, after killing the brother of a talented surgeon known as The Doctor (Weaver), is surgically transformed into a woman after being double-crossed by gangsters. It all sounds a bit absurd and potentially offensive, with the trans community voicing their disappointment in using the life-changing operation as a gimmick for a film.

      Mark Ruffalo Asks For ‘Compassion’ After Movie’s Transgender Controversy

      It’s a delicate subject to debate, but the idea of non-transgender actors playing the roles of transgender characters has seen Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer’s new movie ‘Anything’ come under fire, and it needs to be talked about. The movie was recently heavily criticised as online movie fans and members of the LGBT community voiced their outrage over Bomer’s casting as a transgender sex worker, with calls for the part to be recast with a transgendered actor. The actor went on to say that it was he who actually secured Bomer the role and also asked people to show a bit of compassion, which probably wasn’t the best request to an LGBT community who already feel marginalised, and are now being asked to be understanding by the ones at the centre of the problem.

      The inherent transness of ‘The Matrix’ trilogy

      It sounds ludicrous, and it is especially laughable with the revelation that both Wachowskis are transgender women – a group held up as especially dangerous by these types. With that knowledge, you can’t come to any conclusion other than all of these people are basically Agent Smith. See, “The Matrix” trilogy is inherently trans.

      5 times history was made at The Oscars 2016

      1. Leonardo DiCaprio finally wins an Academy Award Always a nominee but never a winner. This finally changed for Leo at the 88th Academy Awards when he scooped up the Best Actor award for his performance in “The Revenant.” DiCaprio gave a heartfelt thanks to his team and old friends, including Martin Scorsese, and even worked in a message on climate change saying, “It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating… Let us not take this planet for granted. Alejandro González Iñárritu wins Best Director second year in a row Iñárritu took home the hardware for directing “The Revenant.” He won in the same category last year for directing “Birdman,” making him the first director to win back-to-back Oscars in 65 years and only the third man to have done it so far. The first was John Ford who won in 1940 for “The Grapes of Wrath” and in 1941 for “How Green Was My Valley,” and the second was Joseph L. Mankiewicz who won in 1949 for “A Letter to Three Wives” and 1950 for “All About Eve.” 3.

      You’ll Never Believe The Premise of New Michelle Rodriguez Thriller Tomboy

      It will be directed by action veteran Walter Hill (’The Warriors,’ ‘48 Hours,’ and more recently ‘Bullet to the Head’) with Sigourney Weaver in a key supporting role - and the premise is an eyebrow-raiser to say the least. Rodriguez will take the lead as a hitman - yes, you read that correctly - who is double-crossed and forcibly given gender reassignment surgery by Weaver’s surgeon. The ‘Fast and Furious’ actress replaces Frieda Pinto, who had initially been attached to the lead.
