Henchwomen Fight

In web series The Sandra West Diaries season 1 episode titled Silencers and Mini Skirts aired 2016. Actresses Rachel Farrow, Maria Leicy and Vanessa Suarez play as villains Vivian Ventura, Bromide and Honey Walker.

I think this is the first time for me to watch Superseven / Sandra West videos, the video felt inspired from the 60s movies, which I rarely watch, and I'm very ignorant about the 60s pop-culture..

When checking the channel I watched this video of actress Olivia Dunkley talking about the horrible news that Robert Griffith, the creator of the series sadly left our world 💔💔💔, I only know about it now..

So, I hope it's fun to watch, and let's start with the first episode of The Sandra West Diaries..

Ok, this episode they basically use nothing when someone is shot, they just act like it, which is really cool, I hate when they use bad CGI in modern movies, it feels like someone is scratching the video, as if someone grabbed a pen and went wrote on top of the video, it looks stupid and annoying..

Ok, the fight scenes actually looks better than most of what I watch from modern movies, It's so obvious Sandra West is hitting the air, but at least she can act and move as she's fighting, like, the acting is good actually, they episode focus on what they got not what they lack, and what they got that they can act, and in the end, it's fun, it doesn't try too hard to be something it isn't, I will probably watch an episode every week or so and will update it here..

Maybe 60s movies aren't bad after all..

 Anyway, you can watch the entire episode here.. 

Let's start watching the second episode of Sandra West's adventure by the amazing Olivia Dunkley, and play episode 2 Bullets Don't Argue..

This is so hilarious, the episode starts with a gigantic ape..

 Sandra West went to Mexico and it's not yellow, when this episode was they never did that in movies or TV shows..

This episode reveals that Sandra West used to work for a villainess called Sue Muru and the league of assassins.. And it seems there's a flash back from Super Seven series..

I think we see the villainess of the episode Honey Walker played by Vanessa Suarez..

That was a good episode, and Honey Walker was absolutely stunning..

You can watch the whole episode here. 

Now with episode 3 Pity About the Dress..

After watching Agent Joe Walker, this series actually became more interesting, because I now know the theme behind it..

Sandra West is so cool..

I think the villainess of this episode is Sandra Lustenberg played by Nisa Wong..

There isn't much action till episode 6 Tools of the Trade.. 

The villainess of this episode is Agent Bromide played by Maria Leicy.. God, she's so beautiful. Agent Bromide appears around 3 minutes mark. I wish if she had more screen time or played other episode, she's insanely beautiful, we never see someone as beautiful in movies nowadays, which sucks..

You can watch the whole episode here.

Let's watch episode 8, episode 7 is black and white, and I'm not in the mood for watching black and white now, maybe I would some day..

The way Sandra West starts every episode with reading from her diaries reminds me of The Vampire Diaries, I really miss this show, even tho I haven't and won't finish it due how boring it ended to be, but the first four seasons at least were absolutely awesome..

Wait a minute, around 3 minutes 30 seconds, these footage from Agent Joe Walker: Operation Far East. Around 4 minutes 12 seconds, the actress playing Angela Rome can't stop herself from laughing 🤣🤣🤣.

The whole episode basically babysitting LOL..

In episode 11 now, Olivia Dunkley is playing two characters in this episode.. The villainess of this episode is Melody Chance portrayed by Tania L. Pearson, she basically go after Sandra West's mother in order to get Sandra West, but what our gorgeous villainess didn't expect was to be outsmarted by Sandra's mom. I love that the villainess of this episode got a decent screen time, and she was absolutely stunning, you can watch the whole episode here..

In 2013 movie A Good Day to Die Hard. Actress Yuliya Snigir plays as villainess Irina Komarov. One of the subscribers were asking me why I stopped covering new movies, so let me say it, to understand how the people making movies today think, you should understand how they treat artistic works, like you have two of the greatest stories ever made in the history of art, at least in the last millennium were Frankenstein's creature, and The Vampyre, two of the greatest characters and concept in storytelling of all time, and both stories named after the villain of the story LOL, so what Hollywood did, they made The Bride! But not because they love the 1994 Mary Shelley's Frankenstein movie, that I love, but because they hate the original masterpiece, and how it was named after the villain and focused on the villain, the one who have done things absolutely awful and immoral at least by the standards of Mary Shelley's time, these people despise Mary Shelley, they despise the idea of appealing villain, the idea of strong, charismatic, and appealing villain is something they hate, why exactly should I care? I really don't care, I think these people really hate art, put that in mind and tell me, what would stop these people from going after religion next? Is it, the moral constrains? what moral constrains? These moral constrains didn't stop them from burning art, actually what they are doing is completely moral and selfless, it's moral because they think why immoral fictional character be remembered and even be popular and famous, but not those who suffered by such character for example the unnamed "Frankenstein's creature", so they find what they do is entirely moral, and also their act is entirely selfless because they also denying themselves watching good movies or having fun in order to "make the world better place", so, no, nothing can stop them, and even if they didn't do it, they would create the intolerance that would eventually make it a reality. I basically see them as christian zealots, the same people who killed Hypatia, and I can't stand them, and this is different from how I see reformed Christianity, because Dracula 2000 is a reformed Christianity movie, this movie wasn't made by christian zealots, what these people are doing is manufacturing extremism, and I think any extremism form any side is tyrannical..

Anyway, let's start watching the movie..

Irina's intro, like, Holly shit, Amaury Nolasco from Prison Break is in this movie, Prison Break was not just a TV show, but a phenomena, for a while whenever people saw the actors on screen they often called them by the names of their TV characters, like when Wentworth Miller was in Legends of Tomorrow, it wasn't Wentworth Miller playing Leonard Snart, it was Michael Scofield, and Legends of Tomorrow kind of played on such perception, so whenever you see Wentworth Miller in the show, you go like "This villain is played by Michael Scofield, so it must be smart" LOL..

I'm happy to see Bruce Willis, and I really hope he gets well soon..

Wow, I love this logo around 7 minutes 42 seconds..

Around 11 minutes, it seems like John McClane went to Russia and the driver is speaking English, which is making me say in my evil voice "You American expect the whole world to speak English so you can understand them, but you never learn a second language to understand the rest of the world" LOL..

One of the things that Kim Penn is one of my favorite actresses of all time is how she can speak both Chinese and English very will, and being able to be part of both Hollywood and Chinese cinema, which is really hard to do, being a marital artist to be in a Chinese movie then was hard, and being in Hollywood movie was also hard even for Chinese stars like Jackie, and she manged to be in both..

This is actually smart, Bruce Willis playing as Jack McClane's dad, that's what you do when you try to introduce young actors to the public, with a main character was as its peak in 1988, you have Jack McClane, Irina, and Murphy all played by young actors, who aren't as known especially when it comes to movies, so people can again recognize them, something I miss with modern Jackie Chan movies, like his movies created many superstars that earned their own audiences, now, his movies lack "I remember this character" or "I know this actor/actress".

23 minutes in, and John McClane is barely active in the movie LOL. like you can just take him out of the movie, and you can barely notice.. There are two characters that can be the most memorable in such movie, in case the movie want to introduce new actors to work with them later, the first one is Jack McClane, and that's for the franchise, you basically want the franchise keep going, the second one is whoever play the most memorable villain, and that would be for different movies outside the franchise, basically if people want to see them again, you get the actor and make them play another character in a different movie, any other character is below that..

 God, they used to know how to make action movies, action movies as action movies, the first half hour basically car chases and crashes, Rocket launchers, just pure action..

I'm enjoying the movie, but it's Die Hard by name, like, it's a good movie, this movie could be made without being associated with Die Hard at all, like a totally different movie..

The writing in this movie is so bad, like when Irina put her father under gun point, he goes like "But I'm your father" and she replies "And I'm your daughter", it's so bad, but let's be honest, no one would watch this movie for the story, it's all about the action, just good old dumb fun..

I get that critics don't like this movie, and say the writing is bad, also the motive for the hero doesn't seem that strong, but if the movie ended and I had fun, it's good movie, it maybe not what you would expect from a Die Hard movie, and here's what I think, I think villains are eternal, it's like Calista said "I'm pure life, all you are now is slow death", meaning, a heroic character overtime get exhausted, you can never keep the same quality of what the first Die Hard was, you absolutely can't, what you can do is to focus on the villains, you can have Hans Gruber, you can have Mai who was portrayed by Maggie Q, you can have Irina Komarov, these are the gems of the franchise, so if you are watching the franchise for the sole purpose of the hero, it's a matter of time you get disappointed, because there are not so many things a hero can do to keep the same level of quality of the original movie, but if you are watching it for the villains, if they have decent villains, you still get to have a really good time..

We see our villainess around 1 hour 15 minutes, and god, just her looking at me, and I would be paralyzed, that's why I should never guard a nuclear weapon, because if I did and met a villainess like her, humanity is doomed, like there's zero chance I wouldn't fall in love with her..

So, I guess male villains are useless in this movie, as the only noticeable male villain was shot by another villain, just like that, as if he's nothing to the story!

Around 1 hour 24 minutes Irina starts shooting at the heroes, and the final confrontation starts from there..

Me enjoying the movie doesn't negate what this movie actually is, this movie is 1 hour 40 minutes demo reel, which means those who do the practical effects show how good they can do practical effects, you have new young actors introduced to the masses waiting for someone to be very recognized to the point of stardom, they know the IP would get a lot of people, but the movie is basically an attempt to build towards new stars and new movies that can get the same hype, so in that case who was the star of the movie, only two, Jai Courtney in the franchise, and Irina outside the franchise, why Irina, because male villains in the movie barely noticeable, like the most noticeable thing they did was when a villain said he danced, I can't even remember his name, Bruce Willis was also very inactive in the movie to give a space to the young actors, one of the reasons Bruce Willis was doing movies that isn't anything in the quality of his other movies like The Sixth Sense, or Die Hard, was because he really cared about movies and art and really wanted to keep going seeing movies.. Anyway, Dracula 2000 too was an attempt to introduce new stars to the public, and it worked, even tho the movie was commercially successful, while A Good Day to Die Hard it failed even tho the movie was commercially successful, which interesting contradiction, with Dracula 2000 worked with Danny Masterson in That '70s Show, even if people wouldn't know his name, they would recognize his face, and it worked with Gerard Butler when he played Romance, and it also worked with Famke Janssen in Nip/Tuck, which was one of the smartest casting choices ever, it worked with Jaime Pressly in My Name Is Earl, they could've done that with Giancarlo Esposito, but they trapped him with different variations of the same character.. That's what someone like me notice watching thousands and thousands of movies and TV episodes from different cultures over the years..

In 1984 movie Conan the Destroyer. Actress Sarah Douglas plays as villainess Queen Taramis. We are entering the AI era, the AI art and AI way of thinking, nothing you can do about it, neither you should do nothing about it, a contradictory, and it makes sense..

People moving away from movies to other means of entertainment is like a festival that last for thousands of years that just stopped, that's why for me, watching what I already enjoyed, have some fun and that's it..

It must have been insane to watch this movie in 1984 with this music..

What makes a star a star isn't much about the number of movies they made as much how many quality movies they made, like, they can play a hero or a villain, and the movie they are in still holding a recognition, uniqueness and a high entertaining quality, this apply on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gerard Butler, at least till the past ten years, because I don't remember any movie they made in the past ten years, but overall, what made them stars, is this, Gerard Butler making a romcom, it must be a good romcom, if he's making action movie, if Gerard Butler in it, it must be good, you know if you went to watch any movie with any of them, you know that you will watch it from start to finish, I can't tell anyone today, if they watch any actor or director movie, they would get a certain quality, and that any movie being made today can be a waste of precious hours of your time, that's why Youtubers started to being the stars now in movie business, because those who watch them, are aware of the quality they providing, and trust them if they made a movie, it will meet a certain quality and expectations..

This movie is so dumb, I miss these movies, you don't get dumb shit nowadays, because I'm the last dumb person left in the entire world and everyone else became hypersmart!!

WOW, we see Queen Taramis around 7 minutes..

Wait a minute, this movie is eerie similar to ancient Arabic story, the story of Antarah ibn Shaddad, it was even made a movie in 1961!!

It seems that Taramis is also a version of Disney's evil queen..

Watching this movie, I fail for find someone anything as beautiful as the evil queen..

19 minutes in and yeah, this story is absolutely influenced by the story of Antarah ibn Shaddad, that's why Hollywood don't make stories like these anymore, as I said, modern Hollywood, with their dark ages Christianity is far worse than reformed Christianity that used to exist in the 80s and 90s.. 

This movie wouldn't work if not for Arnold's muscles LOL, his muscles basically take your attention from anything else, that's nothing you can just replace with AI..

Watching the fight around 40 minutes, and there are so many jokes I want to make, I miss when they used to make comedy, that would be a hilarious comedic scene if done right, this scene need the people who made movies like Meet The Spartans to parody it..

Just because I enjoy 80s and 90s movies, it doesn't mean they are perfect in anyway, especially when I think the character is built on a villainous character, like the character of Conan..

What makes Antarah a better character than Conan, for me, someone who are into villainous character, not the mainstream, is Antarah was driven by very selfish and individualistic motives, yeah, he freed himself, but that was the easy part, the hard part is being a nobility, and marry the woman he loved as such.

In this movie, Conan was tasked to get a jewel, but they had to moralize it, he can't just fight and get the jewel out of his selfish motives, so they made the guardian of the jewel to take the heroine, who I didn't bother remembering her name, so Conan's acts became justified morally..

What made Antarah one of the greatest characters and he was also an artist, is that his acts were entirely selfish, very individualistic and pragmatic, you can see this in his poems like this one:

"My horse is a guide to death,

Waded through its dust.

My sword is a physician in battle,

Healing the head of whoever complained of a headache.

I am the slave about whom you were told,

And now you have seen me.

With my sword I have filled the earth with dread,

And my enemies found no escape from it.

When heroes fled in fear of my might,

Lands shrank to an arm's length."

 He's basically saying that his horse bring death whenever it goes, and his sword is like a doctor, if you suffer headache, it cures it, there's no headache without head, only the "ache" left LOL, he also talk when the courageous heroes end up fleeing from him out of fear, he describe the land as if it shrank, and became too small for them to hide anywhere, which a very poetic way to say my hours is very fast that it will get them before they go far, but he uses the fictional aspect of it to make as if they land itself shrank or as if he got superpowers like Magneto for example to get them back to his feet.. 

That's why the character of Antarah and Antarah as artist was one the greatest of all time, an artist that was able to be popular from the far extreme to the far extreme and everything in between, so yeah, as usual, Hollywood take a great story and always make it worse..

Does it mean I don't enjoy the movie? No, I actually do, I just wouldn't watch it if not for the evil queen..

1 hour in, I love the sets in this movie, it looks great after all these years, that's why practical effects always one, you do the same with CGI, and it expire and be outdated in 5 years, while this movie will be watched 10 years from now, and people would still enjoy it..

The villains around 1 hour 11 minutes, look like a heavy metal band LOL, we really need bands like these tho.

Finally we see our evil queen around 1 hour 22 minutes, if I told you that I would choose anyone in this movie over her, I would be lying..

We see a waterfall afterwards, and it looks amazing, I don't know, should we accept that movies should be empty of such beautiful scenes like these and replace it with AI? I'm seeing a beautiful scene from more than 40 years ago..

Now, Queen Taramis is preparing the heroine to be sacrificed, and Conan is going to save her, the whole idea the movie started with, which was bringing his wife back to life, the whole reason of his quest, is gone, now we should care about the heroine, just because..

The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 27 minutes..

The monster with practical effects looks awesome, and the movie overall was dumb and fun..
