If you are like me you do not like Valentine's Day. In fact, if you are anything like me it's either a reminder of being single amongst smug annoying couples
or you're uncomfortable being one of the smug annoying couples and would rather be watching tv at home, alone.
Without further adieu my girl power viewing list for Valentine's Day 2014. Note some of these titles are available to stream on Netflix, some are not, all are wonderful.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series
You know who's really amazing – Lisbeth Salander. What's more fun than celebrating singledom/spinsterhood than with a badass lady who rides a motorcycle and fights injustice.
Hit & Miss
Chloë Sevigny is amazing. Whether she's in
Gummo or
Big Love or this new series
Hit & Miss she's fantastic. Her misguided personal comments aside she did an amazing job playing Mia and this is one of the more unique roles I've seen a television series based around in a lonnnng time.
Kill Bill
My favorite Uma Thurman role of all time, the Bride gets her revenge and gets it good. I watched both these films with my dad originally — needless to say it was an interesting introduction to Quentin Tarantino at 13.
Whip It
Roller derby! What's more girl power than roller derby! A great glimpse into an amazing culture and also Marcia Gay Harden is the best.
Hanna
How you pronounce the lead actress's name, the world may never know (Saoirse? What?), but I do know this movie is amazing and between her and Eric Bana the thrills never cease.
Scandal
GLADIATORSSSSS! Watch this on Valentine's Day, freak out over how good it is, regret nothing.
