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 πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”.
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 πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—.

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. 


 








 

Kim Penn as evil Blonde Killer in Fun and Fury

Actress Name : Amanda Donohoe
Character Name : Sylvia Marsh
Year : 1988


In 1988 movie Lair of the White Worm. Actress Amanda Donohoe plays as villainess Sylvia Marsh. We first see Sylvia 14 minutes, her charisma is insane, she reminds me of Gus from Breaking Bad.. Amanda Donohoe is a legend.

Around 20 minutes, she spread her venom on the statue of Jesus LOL..
Around 23 minutes the movie basically using the snake as icon of Satan, and heathen on how they defile the righteous and how Jesus died to save the world and such.. Ok, let's talk about the symbolism of the snake, the snake around the sun disk, it may represent the ancient theory of the infinity of the universe, it's possible that it a represent a christian rejection of the theory, but it's more interesting than that, what if the snake doesn't eat itself around the sun disk, what if that only he you see it due to the restrictions we have as human to understand the reality of the world? What if the snake was climbing and your misunderstanding of it make you think that it's eating its tail? That's totally different story, it can only mean the existence of multiple parallel worlds.. 

Around 28 minutes, we see Sylvia Marsh again..
39 minutes in, this movie is how movies should be, you just keep watching, you are curious, you are entertained, Amanda Donohoe performance is insane.. Amanda Donohoe carrying the film on their shoulders, you know how hard this is? This is a star, when you have the character carrying the whole movie, you have a star, even if they are super famous, that's why if a superstar really want to help a young star to be introduced to public, make them playing a good memorable villains would be a reasonable idea.. Amanda Donohoe seems to really having fun in this movie LOL..
The scene around 53 minutes, is one of the most powerful scenes in history of cinema, I can't even describe how insanely good this scene is..

Around 1 hour 19 minutes our villainess kills Angus Flint, this is one of the greatest scenes, you should hate her, but you can't you have such strong contradiction that can never be replicated with any other character, like I said, villaines are uncut gems..
The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 22 minutes, but apparently Angus isn't dead.

I don't know, is there any other character in this movie I would watch the movie for if not Sylvia Marsh? I don't think so, Sylvia Marsh is the movie, like, this is in the 80s, and Amanda Donohoe carried a whole movie by herself.. This movie is a mixture of the vampire genre, and have elements that led to creating movies like The Mummy, but unlike The Mummy this one is kind of heavy on religion, and attacking heathenism, as the Christianity is the savior of humanity, and let's be honest, that's what the vampire is built on, yet everyone love vampires as artistic concept even if they aren't christian.
The efforts required to make this movie is insane, Sylvia Marsh keep changing her outfits to suit the environment, and the way she acts is crazy, it require insane efforts even if most people wouldn't notice it, but they will surely feel it and would feel how different and unique this movie is.
I can't believe I watched Liar Liar and didn't even notice such huge actress, I kind of feel bad TBH, I have to rewatch Liar Liar..
