Kong: Skull Isand

Kong: Skull Island - in which a group of adventurous scientists are enticed to a remote island is the Pacific ocean that can only be accessed in a small window of time, due to the intense storms that rage around it all the time, and the fact that it is occupied by an enormous gorilla. Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston, John Goodman and Samuel L Jackson sort of crash land, after dropping some geo-bombs on the island, upsetting the nice giant ape who lives there. So, they try to verify this theory that all of the weird dinosaurs and creatures have survived inside these "hollow earth" pockets. And then they discover John C Rielly, who was shipwrecked there 40 years ago, and he is super happy to see some English speaking people, because the islanders are kinda stiff. There are millitary guys on the expedition who are trying to exterminate nice King Kong, but he is keeping all the humans safe from the monsters that are worse than the ones from Pitch Black. Finally, Brie Larson makes friends with Kong, and the military stops trying to murder him.  The gang finally gets to leave Spider Skull Island, but without John Goodman, who has passed away. King Kong has resisted the human coup, and retains sovereignty of his Skull Island.

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...
