I haven't read any of those, however ...
... I regularly read Patricia J. Williams's column in the Nation (Diary of a Mad Law Professor) and absolutely adore it. Check it out at www.thenation.com if you'd like a taste -- her columns are usually no more than a page.
I also read Hard Core by Linda Williams, which was OK -- I read it for a paper on feminist film theory, and it was useful for my paper, but somewhat dense and didn't feel terribly original to me. If you're into feminist theorists looking at film genres not traditionally considered "feminist-friendly" (like porn), I do highly recommend the work of Carol Clover on horror/slasher films and the active roles played by female protagonists in them.
