Movie Name : Conan the Destroyer
Actress Name : Sarah Douglas
Character Name : Queen Taramis
Year : 1984



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..












 




  


Sarah Douglas as evil Queen Taramis in Conan the Destroyer

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..

























 


   

    
 




 




Vitamin C, Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Esposito as evil babes Lucy Westerman, Valerie Sharpe and Solina in Dracula 2000

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..
