Revenge Of The Wedding Planner [2025]

Sometimes it's nice to see the maligned protagonist spend most of the movie not crying and being mistreated but getting some damn revenge. This one has quite a lot going on in just an hour so hang with me here.

Our main character Grace is a famous wedding planner and is about to attend the wedding of her mother and future stepfather, an event planning company CEO who is going to name his successor soon. Meanwhile, Grace's soon-to-be stepsister Sophia is screwing her fiance. On the discovery of this cheating, stepdad declares that he is naming Grace his successor, Grace and fiance break up (obviously), and Sophia decides to deal with all of this by poisoning the entire wedding and blaming Grace who made the cake. Grace goes to jail for a few months before meeting with Brody, her father's lawyer, who tells her they have cleared her name and she asks him to help her fake her death. A year later she goes to an engagement shoot for her evil stepsister and just straight up reveals her identity. What was the plan here?! I guess thankfully Sophia doesn't believe her because she is no longer wearing the ugly blonde wig she had in the beginning. In a low rent Monte Cristo move, Grace also poses as the hottest new wedding planner, with the help of a new wig, and Sophia begs her (literally) to plan her wedding to Grace's ex. Begging is a weird motif throughout because everyone is a domme I guess. From there every time Sophia goes to a wedding thing, Grace is there to torture her from spraying engagement party guests with pig blood to getting a chef to put worms in her food at a tasting to buying the dress set aside for her before she can have it. Meanwhile Grace and Brody get closer and Sophia decides to also try to seduce Brody to try to get her father's money by sexually assaulting him. It's super ineffective, but Grace does film it for blackmail later. Sophia also tries poisoning Brody and Grace but thankfully they only have a few sips. The film culminates with Sophia's wedding, which her wedding planner (Grace in a blue wig) has styled like a funeral. She even sent the blackmail video and a pig's head to Sophia's groom so he would reject her and wrote "murderer" down the back of her dress. Sophia finally realizes that Grace is Grace and also that the wedding planner is Grace because she puts the terrible blonde wig back on. Sophia is arrested and Brody proposes to Grace implying that she will have to plan their wedding.

While I have definitely made the plot easier to follow with my explanation, you need to understand just how many scenes there are of Grace straight up saying who she is and Sophia not believing it. In fact, many pieces of information are revealed over and over with characters always acting like this is new information. There's also a "hilarious" boner scene with the fiance, slow-mo glasses removal or putting on, and just camp craziness. This is the best we've seen in a minute.

Master Of Zen [1994]

This was a movie Adam started watching on his own before realizing it would be a good bad movie night option. He wanted to watch it because he was curious if there was a movie about Bodhi Dharma and, well, there is, but it definitely leaves something to be desired.

The film tells the story of Bodhi Dharma, the third prince of a family in India who discovers Buddhism. He then goes to China to spread the word. From there we get a bunch of little vignettes about Bodhi Dharma like how he told off the king, crossed a river using a reed, and meditated for nine years.

Overall, the real appeal of this film is the insane dubbing and the Crouching Tiger-esque special effects. It's definitely funny for the first 20 minutes or so, but then it drags.

Fruit Love Island [2026]

Note that the character in the poster does not appear in the series. 

This AI slop vertical drama is basically Love Island (as far as we can tell having never watched the series) but all the characters are anthropomorphic fruit. Amusingly, some of them are more fruit-like than others. It has all the trademarks of AI slop: shifting character design and accents, floating things, exaggerated expressions, and other nonsense. It also has the nonsense of Love Island including conversations about nothing, dumb challenges, and a direct recreation of the "I'm a mommy" scene from a recent season. It does seem to have a lot more fist-fighting though but how would any of us know?

This series is worth watching but probably not the whole way through. There's a point where it gets repetitive so the best advice would be to watch for as long as you are having fun. The most disappointing thing really is the lack of fruit puns. We did however get some line about the strawberry girl making strawberry milk, which is a yikes, and the banana guy talking about how he's got the banana. Subtle. Either way, it's only juicy for so long before it dries up in the island sun.
