The Last Witch Hunter is a 2015 American supernatural action film directed by Breck Eisner and starring Vin Diesel as the titular character. The story follows Kaulder, an immortal witch hunter who has been cursed with eternal life after killing the Queen Witch in the Middle Ages. In modern-day New York City, Kaulder teams up with a young witch and a priest to stop a powerful witch from unleashing a deadly plague on humanity. The film begins by introducing Kaulder as a fierce warrior who is immensely skilled in hunting and killing witches. After defeating the Queen Witch, he discovers that she has cursed him with eternal life, forcing him to outlive everyone he cares about. Throughout the centuries, Kaulder dedicates his life to hunting down rogue witches and protecting humanity.
Peter has endeared himself to me at the very least, with his earnest desire to be a great doctor and his totally inappropriate bro jokes. I’m excited to see more of Peter interacting with the rest of the cast on the next episode.
Downplayed in the season s first three episodes, Mindy s unflattering qualities flare up again, as she objects to going on a meaningless date with someone she already knows and works with vs. The fact they re so similar makes me so happy because I am hoping this is what happens with Cliff and Mindy I am hoping that they do not get together in the end.
Throughout the centuries, Kaulder dedicates his life to hunting down rogue witches and protecting humanity. In the present day, Kaulder is aided by a secret society known as the Axe and Cross, who help him track down witches and administer justice. When his trusted priest and friend Dolan 36th is mysteriously killed, Kaulder begins investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
The Mindy Project Season 2 Episode 4 Recap: "Magic Morgan" Toes the Sexual Harassment Line
"I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables plays in the background while Mindy tells us that she is heartbroken post-Casey. This happens in the first few seconds of The Mindy Project's newest episode, "Magic Morgan."
Mindy’s breakup with Casey leaves her so distraught that she requests "heartache days" off of work to recover, which Jeremy gently denies. By the end of the episode, Jeremy probably wishes that he’d agreed, as Mindy’s anguish sends her into a tailspin and nearly costs the practice $200,000 dollars in a sexual harassment settlement.
This episode centers once again around Mindy’s love life and her search for a soul-mate. Mindy finds it very hard to get over Casey — understandably, since they were engaged to be married.
Instead of limiting herself to marathoning One Tree Hill and eating Ben & Jerry’s ice cream like the rest of us do when we’re trying to get over an ex, Mindy also pursues one of her usual harebrained schemes. After drinking several bottles of wine, Mindy remembers Morgan’s own romantic troubles: namely, that every girl he dates finds her true love afterwards. A determined Mindy decides that she must sleep with Morgan in order to subsequently locate her soul-mate.
Poor Morgan first tries to remind Mindy that she is very drunk, but after she cries, he agrees to help her out. Then Mindy sobers up, realizes what she’s doing, and throws a naked Morgan out of the apartment.
Hurt by Mindy's rejection, Morgan decides to sue her for sexual harassment by retaining the services of a hot lawyer Mindy met earlier in the episode.
In the initial legal meeting, however, it becomes clear that Morgan is not actually looking for $200,000 but just wants Mindy to make it up to him. She agrees to go on a fancy date with him to make the lawsuit to go away.
The lawyer in question storms out, threatening to charge Morgan for all of the hours he spent on the case. Morgan basically shrugs and explains that he has no money anyway.
Mindy and Morgan go out on their romantic dinner date. Mindy tries to get away with ignoring Morgan but Morgan steals her phone and regales her with a story about a prostitute he met on Craigslist and visited in Montreal.
Since Morgan is way more awesome than the vast majority of bland dudes that Mindy dates, he takes Mindy to a really cool quarry after dinner. They stand at the top of a cliff and shout their frustrations into the echoing crevasse.
It's ambiguous as to whether Mindy and Morgan end up having sex, but whatever happened Mindy is a step close to finding her soul-mate.
At the end of the episode, Morgan looks on knowingly as Mindy and the hot lawyer banter in the elevator.
The arrival of the hot lawyer on the scene as Mindy’s newest romantic interest means that the new doctor Peter Prentice will not play that role, thank goodness. As I mentioned last week, Peter’s actually an enjoyable addition to the show and I have no interest in seeing him meet the fate of Mindy’s endless revolving door of love interests.
This episode, Peter finds his place at the practice as Danny and Jeremy adjust accordingly. Jeremy thinks Peter is a respectful employee and a solid doctor. Jeremy is very confused when Danny doesn’t share his assessment.
Peter has endeared himself to me at the very least, with his earnest desire to be a great doctor and his totally inappropriate bro jokes. I’m excited to see more of Peter interacting with the rest of the cast on the next episode.
Mindy Madness: 10/10
Let’s recap: Mindy decides to sleep with Morgan so she can find her true love. This is 100% pure, unadulterated Mindy rom-com madness that forms the foundation of this show.
The Ex Factor: 8/10
Casey speaks to Mindy from a photo strip, Harry-Potter style. While Casey never technically appears in the flesh, his ghost absolutely hangs over the episode and drives Mindy’s actions.
Guest Star Power: 2/10
The new lawyer dude (played by Glenn Howerton) feels like a composite of every previous guy Mindy’s dated. He’s not bad, but I’m not really feeling it.
Problematic Points: 5/10
The show navigates the sexual harassment quagmire better than I’d expect, but it’s still — I have to say it — problematic. Mindy basically coerces Morgan into having sex with her, and he agrees to do so despite knowing that she’s totally sloshed. Then Morgan uses the threat of a sexual harassment lawsuit to pressure Mindy into dating him.
Greek Chorus: 1/10
Tamra, Betsy and Beverly are becoming more and more like an actual Greek Chorus, to the point where I struggled to remember if they actually uttered any lines by themselves. They pop up in the background when Jeremy unveils the new practice sign in front of the entire staff and when Peter tries to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon in the break room.
In the initial legal meeting, however, it becomes clear that Morgan is not actually looking for $200,000 but just wants Mindy to make it up to him. She agrees to go on a fancy date with him to make the lawsuit to go away.
He soon discovers that a powerful witch known as the Witch Queen has returned and seeks revenge against him for killing her centuries ago. As he delves deeper into the conspiracy, Kaulder teams up with a young witch named Chloe and Dolan 37th, a replacement for his deceased friend. Together, they uncover a plot to unleash a deadly plague, threatening to wipe out humanity. As Kaulder fights against time to stop the Witch Queen and save humanity, he also grapples with his own immortality and the curse that has haunted him for centuries. The Last Witch Hunter combines elements of fantasy, action, and supernatural horror to deliver an entertaining and thrilling cinematic experience. With impressive visual effects, intense fight scenes, and an intriguing mythos, the film keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. Vin Diesel delivers a strong performance as Kaulder, portraying the character's stoic determination and inner turmoil convincingly. Despite mixed reviews from critics, The Last Witch Hunter found success at the box office and has gained a dedicated fan following. Its unique blend of genres and the charismatic performance of Vin Diesel make it a standout entry in the supernatural action genre. In conclusion, The Last Witch Hunter is a captivating and enjoyable film that offers an exciting and imaginative take on the world of witchcraft and witch hunting. With its compelling story, impressive visuals, and strong performances, it is worth watching for fans of the genre or anyone looking for an entertaining action-packed adventure..
