Indiana Jones.

I loved the first film:Raiders of the Lost Ark,way back in the early 80's. It was a fantastic film,having a start, middle and end.It had a lot of great action,and best of all,a damsel bound and gagged scene, played brilliantly by the lovely Karen Allen. 


It's only a brief scene,but I liked it. I think Karen has performed a couple more scenes in her acting career.

In the second instalment:The Temple of Doom,there was nothing in it for me at all.The only thing they showed,was the lead actress: Kate Capshaw,who certainly screams a lot,and is showing tied face down in a cage,just about to be sacrificed for the bad guys into an inferno. Fortunately, the good guys save her.I have to admit, I really enjoyed the first 15-20 minutes of the film,and in general, it's okay.

However, it doesn't beat the first film, not by a mile. 

++

The third offering:The Last Crusade, did nothing for me at all.No damsel in distress scenes getting bound and gagged. There was nothing at all in it,and that was a massive disappointment to me. A big thumbs down. 

++

Nothing really offered either in the fourth film:Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. I did enjoy it, so much better than the third film.I loved Cate Blanchett's performance as one of the baddies. She's one of my favourite actresses. The film wasn't a big hit with everyone, but I liked it. So there.

Now,onto the most recent film:The Dial of Destiny. I haven't seen it yet,but reading the plot, I don't think I'm going to watch this one.Harrison Ford is getting on a bit now,so it's either he's replaced by a stunt performer or CGI,when there's an action sequence. When I read the plot though, I wasn't very pleased to see the lead actress:Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who appears to save Indy constantly throughout the whole damsel film.Sorry,not my cup of tea at all.PC writing again perhaps? Another big thumbs down from me on this one.

The Meg.

Still can't believe I watched this film in 2018,and it's a pretty good action caper. Obviously, I'm still a huge Jason Statham fan,and he was brilliant in this offering, as he and a group of scientists battle a Megladon shark.There's a lot of great sequences, and also,Jason's character does help certain girls in distress, or being menaced by the shark. I still found it mildly disappointing, that the writers didn't include any full treatment scenes for the girls.  Overall though, it's very enjoyable, and I still have to see the sequel, and perhaps there may be a third offering.  One of my favourite moments in the film: Amazing to see Sophia Cio is now 17.She did really well here. Li Bingbing was a huge favourite of mine in the film,as Jason's character has to save her from being on the shark's menu.As seen from one of the film posters here,she goes down in a glass chamber when the shark grabs it,threatening her life.Fortunately,our hero saves the day....

Hello and Welcome!

 Hello everyone, this is my latest and newest blog,that will contain all the damsels in distress stories that have been written for me by my favourite authors. You will also find all the pictures and comic style pages,that have been done by my favourite artists. Sadly though, not all of them are available anymore.  Regrettably, I will write damsels in distress stories here too,and whilst you'll see how terrible I am at writing my own stuff, and especially my shocking grammar presentation, I still hope you'll forgive me and hopefully appreciate the effort.  Granted, it won't be to everyone's liking, but if you love the old fashioned damsel in distress theme,where the very pretty heroines are seized by the bad guys, who tie the lovely ladies up and gag them,then I hope you'll enjoy it here.  Just a quick reminder, I don't support any violence against anyone, especially women. This is pure fantasy, so if you're after darker content, I strongly suggest you go so...

Sophie Cia.

  I first watched Sophie in The Meg way back in 2008,when she was only a child actor.Hard to believe Sophie is now 17. I don't think she's performed any full treatment scenes in her acting career, but it would be nice to see. I was pleased to hear she was in The Meg 2,as well as Li Bingbing returning. Another very pretty young lady who I’ll be using in future art projects. The same will apply to all the gorgeous girls who performed in both films.
