Thor Ragnarok



Thor: Ragnarok - in which Thor and Loki team up to fight their hot sister after their only remaining parent dies. Odin dies while he's on earth, but he waited until Thor and Loki show up. They went looking for him in NYC, but got intercepted by Dr. Strange, who redirected them to Norway, the home of Odin's followers in Midgard. Odin passes into the wind, Thor and Loki are sad for a minute, and then their mean sister, Hela, shows up. She tells them she's the heir to Odin's throne, and also she's a maniacal beautiful genius who is going to conquer all of the worlds Odin did not. Which is most of them. They start to fight, but Loki the Idiot opens the bridge to Asgard, and Hela knocks Thor and Loki out of the rainbow bridge stream and makes it there alone. Let the conquering begin. Hela storms the palace and fucks the place up, and then she kills, like, the entire army because they won't fight for her. Next best thing, she raises an undead army from the corpses of soldiers buried under the capital mountain. Asgardians are terrified, and are hiding in the woods with the help of Heimdall and his magic sword, that he stole from the rainbow bridge toll booth.
   Meanwhile, Thor and Loki both got dropped on this weird planet that Jeff Goldblum is the boss of, and Hulk is the most popular guy there. Loki has sewn himself into the Great Leader's inner social circle, however, Thor has been chipped and restrained by a badass Valkyrie, and she sells him to fight in a gladiator match. For a lot of money. In the pen, Thor meets my new best friend, Corg, who is made of rocks, but perishable rocks, and is trying to start an uprising, but is having some communications trouble getting the word out. Thor goes to fight Hulk and almost wins, but they zap him. Oh, he's got this cool lightening power now, but he's gotta get real upset to use it, and also his hammer is gone, that bitch Hela broke it on purpose. So, Thor and Hulk hang out for a while, trying to get along, and Thor keeps trying to bring Banner back. He eventually gets Bruce Banner, who is delighted to be on another planet, and he forms a team to go save Asgard from Hela, enlisting Bruce, Valkyrie and Loki, maybe. They steal a ship and get off the weird planet, get to Asgard just in time, and they fight Hela. Thor can't defeat her, persay, but he can summon a hellfire god who can sure fucking eat her. All the Asgardians get on the big ship Loki and Corg stole, because Loki isn't really a bad guy, and he does miss his father, and now Thor has an eye patch, just like Odin.

Death Wish

Death Wish (1974) - in which the justice system fails a man who lost his family, and he goes off the rails in finding personal justice. I mean vengeance. Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a husband and father and architect, who has a nice NYC life. One day, near the beginning of the movie, Paul's wife is murdered and his daughter is raped into a catatonic state, from which she will not likely recover. Sexist. Anyways, Paul is destroyed, so his boss sends him out to New Mexico, or another lawless state, for a 3 month long project. Paul does some recovering while he is out there, and is befriended by his big money client, with a big hat and big guns. Upon arriving back in NYC, Paul is disheartened to find his daughter in terrible condition, and his son-in-law coping poorly. There have also been no arrests in his wife's murder, as the police are very busy with a crime spree related to gang violence. Paul is a really sympathetic guy, and his pain is visible, and very real. So,...

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...

Arrival

Arrival - in which aliens come by the earth to make some new friends, and it goes okay. First, some scary ships have descended on Earth, and there's a bunch of them, like 30, and they just look like hovering rocks. The militaries of the world are cooperating with each other, except the jerks like N. Korea and Russia, and the other new axis guys. So, the plot happens when Forest Whitaker comes to find Amy Adams in the college where she works, this is while the alien invasion is new, and she is convinced to go help communicate with the aliens. She gets there and makes friends with physicist Jeremy Renner, and they work together to decipher the inky messages the squid-aliens transmit. The messages are all visual. They work on this together for months, hanging out in the ship with the aliens, struggling to communicate. Amy Adams starts having visions, or dreams, of the future, where she has a daughter, who dies of cancer, and she knew her daughter would have cancer and die, but she ...
