135: G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra



Ugh, so it is the afternoon and it is STILL SNOWING! On the bright side, I think my flu is over. I was able to keep food down yesterday, but it still has to be bland. Which means I will be eating really blandly for a week or at least a few days. My guess is probably a week with how messed up my system is. Anyways, GI JOE! I never had one growing up and neither did my brother, but I really like the movie. It has been a while since I have seen this movie and I forgot how it liked to jump suddenly from past memories. I do like it, but it's not the BEST action film. Watching it this time around I think I have decided to just have it for those action binges that happen at times. Also I mean it does have Channing in it. Who doesn't love Channing? I know some people don't, but I remember first seeing him in She's The Man and then after that he kind of got more jobs in movies.

I like how at the end they set it up for the sequel with The Rock, but at the same time I feel like maybe how they brought in past storylines and memories could have been better. One moment we start the movie with it in the past and it sets it up for one of the bad guys and his reasons at villany, but it only explains his reasons at France. It was kind of lacking as a huge reason to create warheads for the entire world domination. *Shrugs* I personally think that scene in the beginning could have been left out. As for any other thoughts of re-watching this movie, I don't really have any. It didn't stand out too much to have a lot to say about it. Now I am questioning to watch another movie or to play a game or something. I guess we will all know that answer if I post again today, huh? Ha, ha.

397-461 The End

Last and final mass movie post! I finally did it guys/gals, I completed my movie goal today!!!! I can't believe that I watched 461 movies in one year! I also can't believe I own that many movies! Now I did give some away and weeded some out, but I mean, seriously. This is insane and I am so proud of myself. Finally completing something that I said I would do, that is so huge. The feeling of doing something like this and going through it, I know that someone can do anything as long as you are determined. There were days that I just didn't want to watch the next movie in line, I wasn't in the mood for it and I had to just do it. I will procrastinate like no other, but I somehow forced myself. Here are the remaining movies of the goal: THAT IS IT! Can you believe it? Now the moment of truth, the picture of my movies to show you that ye

168: Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies

First off...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Now I can get into the movie. This is my 2nd time seeing this one and I forgot that two people died at the end and not just Kili. I mean I cried, I cried really hard when the Elf King told her the reason why it hurt so much was because her love for him was real. My big emotional scale through this movie was, anxiety from all the battle going on, to "come on Thorin, get your head out of your ass", to "YAY THORIN IS BACK", to back heartbreak at the death of Fili, Kili and Thorin, to glad the war was over and Bilbo could go home...of course only to find out his personal effects were being auctioned off. I mean I know there is a lot of CGI in this movie and this one is my least favorite, but not because of that reasoning that is so many others'. I think it is because now they have to defend what they quested for and a lot of death. I mean you can't have a happy ending without fighting for it, but I definitely prefe

327: Riddick

Back to basics. To the animal side. The Furian side. Let's be honest here, the dog stole the show. We all want Riddick's dog, that one, not his brother or his sister, that dog. Now that that is cleared up, I do like that they went back to the rated R that this movie is and deserves. Yeah I do love the Chronicles of Riddick movie, a lot and it is my favorite, but there is something lacking. With this you also get the whole survival of the fittest, lone wolf, in the middle of nowhere man trying to find his home and who he is again. It also wouldn't be Riddick without throwing it back to the Pitch Black days. Aliens that come out in the cover of darkness or in this case, rain. Then you also get the father of the man who was being a douchebag in Pitch Black. You know, the one that wanted to kill the girl to save his own skin? Yeah that one. Glad to know that his father is a better man than he was, but kind of sad to watch him find out the horrible thing about his son.
