Kill Bill 1 + 2

Kill Bill Vol 1 - in which a nameless, badass assassin blonde takes revenge on the co workers who bludgeoned her to near death on her sham wedding day. Starting out, she makes a list, which does not appear to be alphabetical, but in ascending order of who she hates the most. The fights are brutal, first with Verita Green, who, arguably, should have been named Black Mamba, but maybe she was the last to pick names or join the team: The Deadly Viper Squad. The Bride takes her out, but has some sage words for her daughter. In Japan The Bride gets Hatori Hanzo to come out of his sworn retirement to make her a special revenge sword, because Bill deserves it. O-Ren has a personal army the bride takes down several henchmen at a time in a reverse massacre. Jumpsuit on fleek. O-Ren Ishii bites it after an exactly 5 minute sword fight to the classic rock song Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by The Animals. There's this crazy part near the beginning where Elle almost kills the bride in her coma, but Bill calls her off.




Kill Bill Vol 2 - in which Beatrix (formally the bride) finishes her to-do list and saves time by doing two in the same location. Bea finds Bud, who wasn't hiding really hard, but he's waiting for her with a rock salt shotgun. Having a leg up on Bea, Bud buries her alive, like a jerk, and Bea time travels via flashback to a temple in Japan where she learned how to succeed at assassin life from the mean wizard Pai Mei. Bea punches her way out of her coffin and digs out of her own grave and finds Elle at Buds trailer - she has killed Bud with a poisonous snake. She thinks its funny, but its not. Elle dies, and she fucking deserves it. Bea finds Bill and finds out her daughter has survived. As the title suggests, Beatrix does, in fact, kill Bill. You go, girl.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider - in which Nic Cage plays Johnny Blaze and some rando plays Ghost Rider and Eva Mendez fails all women. To start, some teenagers play Johnny Blaze and Roxanne as a couple in love, but Johnny Blaze can't commit to her because he feels like carny trash, and his dad has cancer. So, when Johnny finds out about his dad's cancer, he gets real upset, and is therefore vulnerable when approached by a Devil, and gladly exchanges his soul for his father's health. Joke's on him, because the Devil is a jerk and as soon as the cancer is gone, Papa Blaze breaks his neck, I guess, or he is mangled by a ring of fire. Its hard to say. Sad, though. Okay, so thirty years go by before Mr. Devil cashes in his Johnny Blaze favor, but in a chilling and tragic coincidence, he does it on the ONE NIGHT Blaze has a date to reconcile with Roxanne, whom he has run into as an adult. While Blaze turns into Ghost Rider and it looks terrible, poor Roxanne (Eva Mendes) is left stood up at...

The Crush

The Crush - in which Cary Elwes makes out with a teenage girl in 1993, and it wasn't me. Alicia Silverstone is amazing and charming. She plays Adrian, a teenage girl with very rich parents, one friend, and a tenuous grasp on reality. The protagonist is supposed to be this author, played by Cary Elwes, but dude's a creep, so he's the villain to me. Reframed: this guy moves into Adrien's parents'  carriage house, in the back yard, and I guess she's not used to it being rented out, because she keeps going in there. Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
