Diego Pineda has been a devout storyteller his whole life. He has self-published a fantasy novel and a book of short stories, and is actively working on publishing his second novel.
The 1990s were a terrific decade for movies. The action genre, in particular, saw the release of some of its most iconic outings, from Con Air to The Matrix. Taking advantage of technological advancement in the field of visual effects and contemporary audiences' thirst for action-packed adventures, these movies scored with critics and audiences. This decade saw no shortage of spectacles that have gone down in history as masterclasses in action filmmaking.
While Hans proved to be a master manipulator and a brilliant strategist, Simon has the intelligence and impenetrability of his brother multiplied by a hundred. Genuinely mysterious and scary, two characteristics not often found in action movie villains, Simon is a hell of a force to be reckoned with and gives McClane a truly hard time. Irons flawlessly portrays him with elegance and zeal, making him as intimidating as he is fascinating.
Stansfield is one of the most underrated movie villains of the '90s. Perfectly played by Oscar winner Gary Oldman in an explosive, delightfully and cleverly overacted performance, he's an unhinged villain with a passion for Beethoven and screaming. What makes him most intimidating is that he's not just any kind of drug lord; he's also a corrupt DEA agent. With the scales tipped in his favor, it becomes an even greater challenge for Léon and Mathilda to take him down.
First, Nicolas Cage plays Archer with an admirable amount of restraint, considering his unique acting style. It's only after Troy starts wearing Archer's face that the actor goes full-on Cage, delivering one of the most spirited and over-the-top performances ever captured on screen. Troy's murderous energy and unpredictable criminal mind make him absolutely terrifying. Bouncing off of John Travolta's Sean Archer flawlessly, the duo makes Face/Off an incredibly good time.
Some of its themes are best embodied by the story's antagonist, Lady Eboshi, the leader of Irontown and rescuer of its people. A masterclass in writing morally ambiguous villains who have a good point, Princess Mononoke explores the intricacies of conflict, with Lady Eboshi standing out as perhaps the best antagonist in Ghibli's whole filmography. Far from a simple villainous caricature, Lady Eboshi feels like a truly complicated human being.
