THINGS YOU WON'T FIND HERE (I didn't forget them, I simply didn't want them in my video, I'm a woman who loves good movies and I'm very demanding about female characters):
· Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as "Charlie's Whores"... I mean, Angels.
· Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider", I like Angelina but the movies are pretty lame and forgettable.
· Demi Moore as "G.I. Jane", cause I can't stand her and the film was very disappointing (especially considering it was directed by Ridley Scott!).
· Keira Knightley in "King Arthur", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Domino", cause even I could kick her skinny ass.
· Kate Beckinsale in "Van Helsing" and "Underworld", she's not believable as action woman, she should stick to romantic films.
· Natalie Portman in "The Attack of the Clones", cause she's not a heroine nor a politician, she's a manequin.
· "Red Sonja", "Supergirl", "Tank Girl", "Aeon Flux", "Ultraviolet", "Elektra", "D.O.A. (Dead or Alive)", "Resident Evil: Apocalipse", "Bloodrayne" and "Catwoman", cause they're bad movies.
SPECIAL THANKS to Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez, Renny Harlin, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Luc Besson, Kathryn Bigelow, Tim Burton, Zack Snyder, Curtis Hanson, Doug Liman and Ridley Scott, for giving us such great action women. |
