Story with Teeth

Location: The Sofa

Just got the chance to watch director Mitchell Lichtenstein's movie Teeth. Some have panned it, but I thought it was a fun satire/metaphor on sex, the anxiety we all feel (or felt) as teens discovering ourselves and our sexuality. Yes, it has feminist tones, but only in that sex is power, and by our biology/evolution, women tend to hold that power more than men.

A fun movie, severed penis tips aside.

Besides, one can never tire of Jess Weixler's voice which reminds me constantly of Winona Ryder's slightly slightly round-mouthed diction.
