Movie Name : Dracula 2000
Character Name : Lucy Westerman, Valerie Sharpe and Solina
Year : 2000


In 2000 movie Dracula 2000. Actresses Vitamin C, Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Esposito play as villainesses Lucy Westerman, Valerie Sharpe and Solina.

The reason I basically stopped updating the blog with modern movies is that I really can't watch a modern movie, movies are supposed to be form of entertainment, people should enjoy watching them, and I did, watched tons and tons of movies and TV shows, probably more than those trending critics did, like everything, action, drama, horror, comedy, good, bad, masterpieces, forgettable etc..
Like whenever they say "It's a comedy", and you find it not funny or boring, "action", boring, horror, somehow they also made horror boring, I don't know how but they did it, so watching what I already watched ended somehow to better than watching something new, for me movies and TV show were a form of entertainment of the past, and such form of entertainment no longer exist, I loved it, but came in terms with it, I can only watch either something I watched before or something that was made decades ago..

What you see in the first 5 minutes are actors staying true to the characters, you are watching characters, this actually help escapism, so, when you take character that is already established, and popular, and people know what true to the character you destroy escapism and the character, what would be left is trending in search result that is build on a story was built true to the character, which means, movies like The Matrix will always have value, and those who used the name will have no impact, only with destruction of the original character not a replacement..     
  Danny Masterson from That '70s Show is playing a villain in this movie? 
As I said, get whoever play a good villain, and make them play comedy, it works..
About being true to the character, Amanda Donohoe in Lair of the White Worm is one of the greatest actresses who were true to character..
I watched this movie long time ago, I totally forgot about it, this movie had a heist in it?
This is very interesting, I had so much fun the first 15 minutes, more of what I get watching entire movie..
One of the things I love about villains, is the idea that they can hold two contradictory absolute truths, Solina for example is trying to free Dracula, which is absolutely evil, on the other hand on the metaphorical level, Solina is just being a good doctor who is trying to seek the secret of Immortality by doing her job, like, isn't that what humanity have been seeking since they existed, who can blame her for seeking it? A character with two levels, one she is absolutely selfish, on the metaphorical level she's absolutely selfless..

We see Solina again around 20 minutes, I love when villains get their screen time.. 
This movie was also probably the big break for Gerard Butler that made him a star, you have Sekhmet to thank for that LOL..

The intro of Dracula is insane, of course Gerard Butler was perfect to play Leonidas..
We see Valerie Sharpe for the first time around 35 minutes, 
We see Solina as a vampire for the first time around 39 minutes..
 Nightshade turned into a vampire too? Is it to reward him for freeing him from the coffin?
I don't know if I want to be a vampire, on one side, I get to be eternal, one the other side, I have to follow a blood-only diet, I don't get to eat the food I love, and for eternity? 
This movie is very christian with Father David and Mary Heller, and you can notice that t-shirt Mary was wearing, Dracula is basically Satan in this movie, or at least metaphorically, similar to Amanda Donohoe in Lair of the White Worm, or Sybil Danning in Howling II, which is why I thought that Howling II seems to be about vampires not werewolves, Dracula is more tense tho..

Gerard Butler must had so much fun playing Dracula..

We see Solina around 50 minutes, if she wanted to kill, I'm so dead LOL.. Yeah, if she played such really good character of Sekhmet, the goddess of art and science and I'm not talking about ancient mythology I'm talking how her priests found her the only godly power that was sent to humans and basically associated the knowledge they had with her, playing such character would make you think, this character can easily kill me, but not because of her deadly weapons, the weapon if far sinister, you can't even resist her, not being able to resist is far advanced weapon, if you have a character with such insane charismatic pretense, heroes are easily resistible, unless you go with the dark depressing reversal of vampire, which is Frankenstein's creature, or Jesus, and even tho, you will also being able to reach people who only share your collective, not the individual, including individuals who agree and disagree with you..

Around 54 minutes, the movie basically called the culture then Satanic, it's like whoever make movies now unironically believe that it was Satanic and thus we see every movie being sanitized to erase such Satanic stuff, the difference is, even tho the movie may call culture then as Satanic, but the existence of this movie and being able to call the culture Satanic, is all thanks to the "Satanic" culture, which is an interesting contradiction, meaning the only culture that would give you the right and the freedom to call it Satanic has to be Satanic, the movie is kind of praising Satan if you think about it LOL..

Around 57 Dracula slept with Lucy by lifting her in air, and gave her a hickey..
Marcus still alive? Yeah, was stabbed then jumped out of the window, I thought he died because it felt like the hero won the fight.. Now he's dead.
Gerard Butler is great as Dracula, Gerard Butler made some of my favorite movies of all time, and from different genres, the man left a mark in Cinema, like you have 300, The Bounty Hunter, The Ugly Truth and so many others, like many movies that seem to challenge the genre he's in.. You won't get anything like 300, 300 is 300, you won't get anything like Law Abiding Citizen, that's how insanely impactful as an actor he is..

The different between someone who watch movies for villains, and those who watch it for the heroes, I can watch a christian movie like this, talking about the cross, the holly water and the bible, and really appreciate religion for its artistic contribution, If I was watching this movie for the heroes, I would have to devoted christian in order to watch it, and even devoted christian could find it too boring to watch without good villains, I wouldn't watch a boring movie or TV show even if it praised me ideologically but so boring to watch, and I assume even a devoted christian would do the same if the movie doesn't have entertainment value and is basically another Sunday service.. 

The hero showed Dracula the bible and he was like "Propaganda" LOL..

Valerie Sharpe demise is around 1 hour 19 minutes, but Solina and Lucy knocked the hero's out afterwards..
The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 24 minutes, you can find the final confrontations of the vampires here and here..

I miss vampire movies, this movie would be my second best Gerard Butler's movies..
It feels like the movie both considered the cross is significant, but at the same time isn't, like at the start with the coffin, there were crosses everywhere, but then vampires act as if the cross has no power, but again Dracula was burned by pages of the bible, but mainly it uses the cross as a symbol not a superpower object, on the other hand, Dracula in this story is Judas Iscariot, which is interesting, because of we assume that Jesus Christ is the reversal of Sekhmet, then in this case, the story of the Crucifixion in the Islamic sources would be more consistent with such hypothesis, because if humans were able to trick Sekhmet to drink their blood, that's them having a fictional death, the reverse of that is Jesus - Sekhmet reverse - is pretending to have a fictional death, Sekhmet shared her immortality and godlyhood with humans by drinking human blood, Jesus shared his death by having humans drinking his blood, that's basically the idea of turning into a vampire turns you immortal, which make sense that many texts see Jesus returning would bring the end of the world, also with Jesus Christ having fictional death led him to be in the heaven, while Sekhmet drinking fictional human blood led her to be on earth, you can see villains, the charismatic and good villains as embodiment of the evil goddess who share with humans their mortality and share with humans their immortality, like Sekhmet did, by drinking the red wine she shared the mortality of humans by fictionally dying, because gods don't sleep, she also gave us her godly knowledge in science and art sharing her immortality for thousands of years.. 
It was also interesting that Van Helsing was using Dracula's blood to extend his life, which actually make sense if you see it like this, even if you hate science, you still need it to live longer..

Gerard Butler is the star of this movie, Solina is my favorite character, it's unfortunate that she didn't get the screen time the character deserve, but it's not possible to be fair, you have tons of characters and the movie is 1 hour 40 minutes..
   
Anyway, for the three villainesses, I would sell my soul to the devil to be with them LOL..

Movie Name : The Adventures of Sinbad Heart and Soul
Actress Name : Paryse Allen
Character Name : Marissa
Year : 1997



In tv show The Adventures of Sinbad season 2 episode titled Heart and Soul aired 1997. Actress Paryse Allen plays as villainess Marissa.

It's crazy how Hollywood is built on stories that goes back to ancient Egypt, then they think they better storytellers than them, stories like Sinbad, Cast Away, and even Lost, wouldn't exist if not for the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor, it's also a story within story, also a high artistic concept in my opinion, a story within story you can find in The Matrix, even the mask, the idea that having two stories, one of The Mask and one of Stanley Ipkiss, The NeverEnding Story is another example of it, also what's interesting about the Tale of the Shipwrecked, is that the end go back to start and the start go back to the end, resembling the snake on Sekhmet, and the never ending loop of Ra, what J. R. R. Tolkien call the evil ring, which also a very high artistic concept..
Marissa is one of my favorite characters of all time, part of that is due to the nostalgia, I remember when this show was airing, I was a little kid, it was reply of the episode, and I was coming back home with my family, and I can hear the TV show playing in the streets while walking, everyone was watching it, and I absolutely loved this character, and then there was no internet, so if you missed the episode, you just missed the episode, being able to watch this episode again is a blessing..
At the start Dracula ate the souls of two couples, after all these years, this actually doesn't look bad, the dummy still works better than CGI..
I don't know why they turned Dracula into a soul-eating vampire, maybe because of the blood!!

 We first see the gorgeous Marissa around 7 minutes mark, I'm so in love with her.. I never seen someone this beautiful.
Anyway, Marissa take the heroes to Dracula's castle, she then stabbed a poor soldier who was holding a box and let it fall..

I loved the character of Dalilah played by Michele Burgers also back then, even tho Dalilah don't qualify as a villainess, but Michele Burgers' performance in this episode was peak, that's why even as a dumb kid, Marissa and Dalilah were my favorite characters in the episode, I don't know why IMDB says she's Kalilah..   
 We see Marissa again around 20 minutes, she tries to convince Dracula, to be with her instead of being with Dalilah, but Dracula says that he spent centuries with her, and basically see humans as inferior compared them vampires, even evil humans like Marissa, even villains like Dracula discriminate against evil humans 💔💔💔.
30 minutes in, and every second evil Marissa in is priceless, 
I think the final fight around 31 minutes, I forgot it's a TV show episode not a movie, it kind of ended before I even notice it..  
    
I'm happy that Paryse Allen went back to acting after all these years, we love you, Paryse Allen, we really do and happy to see back on screen 💗💗💗.

BTW, you can watch Marissa's video compilation here.

Actress Name : Bianca de la Garza
Character Name : Mrs. J
Year : 2020


In 2020 movie Mulan Angels 2: Treasure Map. Actress Bianca de la Garza plays as villainess Mrs. J. I watched this movie when it was released, I have to be honest, it wasn't good then, and it's not good now, but still it would be more fun than any movie that I can watch today..

Our villainess appear around 10 minutes, the English in this movie is so fake LOL.. Hollyshit, this is funny!

The men Mrs. J sent all dead, and now the heroine have superpowers..

We see our villainess again around 22 minutes, and the fake English too LOL, every scene she's in is absolutely amazing..

This whole movie feel like a commercial of Bianca de la Garza, it goes like this, do anything with the scene with the heroes, then when Mrs. J is onscreen they go like "Now let's focus, people would only watch the movie for her" LOL..

We see Mrs. J again around 30 minutes, she sent "Ninja Killer", "Kali's team" and "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Killer" after the heroine, the movie isn't trying to be serious, it's more fun than I remember.

Every scene with Mrs. J is a comedy gold..

The heroine defeated the Ninja.. Aren't they supposed to be "Ninja Killers" since they are more than one, or is it the translation? Anyway, she defeated them, after they attacked the heroine in the middle of the day, that's what happen when Mrs. J go cheap on hiring stealthy killer Ninjas, but I guess she expected it since she put them on a queue, she never expected them to succeed LOL..

Around 44 minutes, the actress washing "the blood" in the river, and it doesn't go away, like, yeah, because it's a paint, and paint doesn't come out easily with water LOL..

Now she meets "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Killer"?

The fight scenes in this movie look like shit, but the absurdity of it as a whole make it fun..

This is so bad, and so funny, Mrs. J appears again around 48 minutes, with the fakest laugh and the fakest dialog, and I love it..

We see Mrs. J around 53 minutes, she just appear for 20 seconds with new outfit and that's it, she basically don't do anything, expect from time to time sending her men, she's like the loading screen between every level in a video game LOL..

I remember this scene with the cage, I can't remember how the hero came out, so, it must be stupid as expected, maybe some of them died, I really don't remember..

I don't who the rest of the characters in the movie are, all I remember the heroine and the villainess, anything isn't related to the villainess is automatically blocked.

We see the villainess around 1 hour mark..

 The movie is really misusing the epiphany the heroine gets to have super strengthen, it happened like 3 times at least till now, she always overpowered, then get the epiphany, and get superpower..

Mrs. J is part of the heroine's epiphany tho, and she's hilarious, I wouldn't even ask how something she never saw ended up in her epiphany!

Mrs. J is the most hilarious villainess I've seen in my life..

Mrs. J's right hand man died, and I laughed, I don't know how to describe this movie, it's absurd in a good way.

A hero also died afterwards and before he died he started to explain why is he dying, LOL..

Yeah, so I was right, a multiple people in the cage, so now both the heroes ended up in it..

I think the final confrontation starts around 1 hour 12 minutes, as I remember, the fighting looked awful, as all the fight scenes in the movie LOL, except when she was handling Mrs. J thugs, it was kind of interesting.  

Bianca de la Garza is absolutely stunning in this movie, but if you are going to watch this movie for comedy, you will enjoy it, if you are watching it for action, then it's not so good when it comes to such aspect..

Movie Name : Fun and Fury
Actress Name : Kim Penn
Character Name : Blonde Killer
Year : 1992


In 1992 movie Fun and Fury. Actress Kim Penn plays as villainess Blonde Killer. Watching a Chinese movie from the 90s because there's nothing new to watch.. The intro of the movie feels as an old 90s toy commercial, I don't know how they look, but that's how Imagine them to be LOL..

This fight around 12 minutes was so good..

That's interested, the one the hero met after snatching his wallet, became a main character in the movie..

This movie feels like soap-opera, Chinese soap-opera from early 90s still something interesting to watch..

This is insane, I finished 25 minutes, and I don't remember the names of any character or what is going on, till now nothing is happening, except the dancing, that was hot.

So the movie is aiming at having a story similar to Aladdin, the poor guy who is in love with a rich girl with a powerful father, and to be clear, this story is thousands of years old, Disney just took it and sanitized it, Herodotus mentioned it in his book as an old Egyptian story..

Basically the story is about a pharaoh who accumulated a vast fortune in gold and silver, stored in a specially built chamber with a massive, well-guarded door. One day he noticed his treasure was decreasing, yet the door and its locks showed no sign of being opened. so, the pharaoh set a large mechanical trap.

The next time the thieves came, one of the brothers was caught in it. Realizing he couldn't escape, he begged his brother to cut off his head so the living one could avoid being identified.

The brother did so and brought the head home to their mother.

The pharaoh, found the headless body, ordered soldiers to display the corpse on a wall and arrest anyone who came to mourn it.

The thief's mother, under threat of revealing everything if her son didn't act, sent the living brother to retrieve the body. He got the guards drunk and stole his brother's body away, then insulted them by shaving off half their beards.

Finally, the pharaoh ordered his own daughter to work in a brothel, instructing her to sweet-talk every client into confessing his most wicked and clever deed.

The thief, suspecting a trap, visited her but brought with him the right arm of his dead brother.

When the princess asked about his greatest crimes, he confessed to cutting off his brother's head and stealing the body. When she lunged to grab him, he released the dead arm into her hands and fled into the darkness, leaving her clutching a severed limb.

Deeply impressed, the pharaoh issued a proclamation offering the thief a full pardon and a great reward if he came forward. The thief did, and the pharaoh, considering him to be the most knowing of all men, gave him his daughter in marriage.

That's the original story of Aladdin, not only the story of Aladdin is built on this extremely old Egyptian story, but also many other stories were influenced by it, like Titanic, with the hero isn't exactly a hero, but also someone from lower class but charmed the princess, Robbie Turner in Atonement.. These stories and characters are timeless, and yeah, he was absolutely a villain..

Anyway, the problem with trying to make a story like the story of Rhampsinitus and the Clever Thief, is the movie made the thief a cop, and made her father influential shady rich man with at least connections with the mob..

I can't believe I'm watching Chinese soap opera, I watched a lot of soap operas, some of them I actually enjoyed, but I'm used to watch them as TV shows, not a movie, this feel like a soap opera episode..

We first see Kim Penn around 58 minutes, like WTF?! Kim Penn in this movie for me to watch it more than three decades later from when it was released, without her, there's zero chance I would watch it, it would be made, forgotten, and no one would even know it existed..

We get a great fight scene around 1 hour 3 minutes..

I don't get it, for 1 hour the movie is anything but action movie, then you hit the 1 hour mark, and now we get the great action scenes! Like, it doesn't even try to build towards them, it's like the decision was made later to turn it into something else..

We see Blonde Killer again around 1 hour 9 minutes, and she delivers lines, it's really interesting hearing Kim Penn speaking Chinese..

Around 1 hour 13 minutes, we get a little action from Blonde Killer, extremely short unfortunately..

Around 1 hour 15 minutes, Blonde Killer appears again, basically the heroine of the movie is a mob boss now? And the hero is a cop! LOL! Kim Penn is so cool, one of the greatest of all time, I missed when I had actors I like..

I love the villains in this movie, they keep making evil laughs, I love this shit..

Blonde Killer's confrontation starts around 1 hour 29 minutes..

The movie needed to have 20 minutes less, it's a decent action movie, but as I said, it felt like there's a soap opera episode inside it, yet by the second half it became a great action movie.
