Valerian



Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - in which Major Valerian is a young hot shot and has a great partner, Lauraline, that he does space missions with. So, this mission for the movie is to retrieve a small animal/energy-generator who is both adorable and valuable. The movie opens on a beautiful beach planet, and some peaceful, skinny aliens who have a pearl economy and seem to be very happy. Oh, no! Their planet is attacked, and only a few survive in a bomb-shelter, and their princess is trapped outside, she is killed, and sends out an energy burst as like a magical death rattle, and we see it hit Valerian. He takes the info-packed dream it causes to heart, and when he recognizes the little guy they pick up on their mission, it is from his dream. So, the guy who sent them on the mission is suspicious, so Lauraline keeps the little guy on her when they all go to some council meeting. The skinny beach aliens crash the council meeting and kidnap the suspicious General Clive Owen because they think he has the little guy, but Lauraline still has him. So, she and Valerian get some info from these little bat guys with anteater faces about this red zone in the middle of the city of a thousand planets, which used to be the ISS. Lauraline gets down there, and Valerian follows her, and they find the skinny aliens, who retell the annihilation of their planet as the result of post-future-modern warfare, so Lauraline gives them their little guy back, so they can have a planet again, it seems like they found a place to set up shop. Clive Owen is going to be put on trial for his war crimes, it seems that he lied about the planet the skinny aliens lived on, said it was uninhabited. Valerian and Lauraline get together, as romance is also important.

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...

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...

Event Horizon

Event Horizon - in which sci fi space body horror gets very fucking real, and totally gross. First, Lawrence Fishburne is a space captain named Miller, and his first mate is Joely Richardson, and she rocks. Her accent is real. A bunch of space sailors are escorting science genius Sam Neill to the wreckage of a space ship. It wasn't just a space ship, it was a massive black hole generating machine, and it recently re-emerged around Neptune, and now its just orbiting, being spooky af. To give all the details, Sam Neill, AKA Dr. Weir, is having creepy dreams about his dead wife in his cryo/gravi-sleep pod before they even get to the abandoned wreck. Oh, its called the Event Horizon. So, once the crew rolls up on Event Horizon they get nervous, because its creepy, and a few people go out to investigate the empty ship. Miller orders Dr. Weir to stay aboard their vessel, and he doesn't do a good job of listening. As soon as the crew splits up, one young guy gets sucked into the g...
