Jurassic World 2



Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - in which Owen Grady is popular with dinos, and Henry Wu gets away with it, again! So, if I don't do this now, I'm definitely gonna forget what happened in this movie. First, Claire is back on her bullshit, working for a paleontology based non-profit, advocating for the intervention of the US government into the Jurassic World broken down theme park situation, to save the remaining dinosaurs. There is a ticking clock on this work, as the island is also an active volcano that is literally now starting to erupt. Who is the bad guy? Um, first, some lawyer who works for Hammond's old partner calls Claire and offers to pay for dino relocation and suggests she enlist Owen's help. Claire convinces Owen to come by reminding him that he can once again see his dino-daughter, Blue. Once they are on the island with para-military forces to help round up the dinos, Claire and Owen are getting along great. There's two normies with them, one classic nerd, and one paleontological veterinarian. Right. So, it turns out that everyone is evil, they tricked Claire and Owen into helping them get Blue, and all the species are already captured. The militia tries to abandon Claire, Owen and the nerd on the volcano while it is in the process of full scale eruption and dinos are dying left and right. However, they cleverly escape on the big cargo ship as it leaves the Isla Nublar forever. And a cute bracheosaurus dies, crying loudly, and the camera holds on it.
     On the ship, it turns out that the bad guys are taking the dinos to the mainland! And the bad guy is the lawyer! And he's selling dinos as weapons because he's greedy! Claire and Owen get locked downstairs, but they escape. There is a little girl who lives in this mansion, and she's not the granddaughter she purports to be. She's a clone! The little girl does a lot of snooping around, and she finds the old footage of Owen training the baby raptors, which is both incredibly cute, and how she knows she can trust them, when she eventually runs into Claire and Owen in the mansion. Oh, there's a new dinosaur in this mansion, and Wu is there, he designed it, and its called and Indo-raptor, and it can probably take over the world. The auction sells off all the dinos while Claire and Owen are escaping, and then they bring out the Indo-raptor just to show it off, but accidentally sell him as well. Claire decides to not save all the dinos in the end, because the de-extintion of them is kind of a theme of the movie. Is that a theme? But the little girl presses the big red button to save them all, and they escape! I hope they don't take over the world, but maybe they will. Wu is alive at the end, but the lawyer and Hammond's old partner are both dead.

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...

Duck Tales - Treasure of the Lost Lamp

Duck Tales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp - in which Scrooge McDuck and his 3 nephews go on a treasure hunting expedition and score big. So, Scrooge and a rival are hunting for a treasure in a cave, and he outwits them, and gets there first. But he is soon outwitted, and he loses the treasure, except a dinky lamp that they let Webby keep. There is a genie in the lamp! The children discover it, and make some dumb wishes, and its cute and fine. Until the rival, who is a shape shifting mage who previously owned the lamp, gets a hold of it again, and wishes himself the McDuck fortune. The mage wished for unlimited wished back in 42AD, so now he gets them. Well, he can't get away with it, and the ducks concoct a plan  to take back the lamp. Scrooge uses his 3rd wish to wish genie into be a real boy, so he can't be a slave anymore. It works. Everyone gets ice cream.
