141: Goosebumps



I remember that when I was younger, I was actually scared of Goosebumps. I read maybe 2 and that was more than enough for me. The one that scared me the most was called 'Welcome to Horrorland'. I mean most of the covers scared me when I was younger that I steered clear of them, but I remember watching the episodes they had on television and the Horrorland was the one that pretty much sealed the deal for me. Nope, no more. Then you rush years later when this comes out...and I love it. The only part that I don't like is the clown, I HATE clowns--the exception being the Joker and the clown from Nightmare Before Christmas, I know that is weird of me. There are only a handful of movies that I like of Jack Black's, just because he can be so raunchy that it makes me uncomfortable, but he has been sort of mellowing it out as the years go.

What I love the most about this movie is that it involves the actual author being in the movie and his stories coming to life. Yes, the ACTUAL author makes an appearance at the end at the school when he passes by them and says "Good Morning Mr. Stine" and then Jack said "Good Morning Mr. Black". I thought that was kind of funny that they did that and clever too. The effects are amazing and I love the part where they are getting chased by the giant bug and they keep telling him how to drive. "Do you want to drive? I will pull over right now." Sadly, my mom owns this movie, it is on my Amazon Game/Movie wishlist. I hear they are coming out with a sequel this year in October...found out it was also about Horrorland, the one that scared me as a kid. Ha, ha. But I also heard that there isn't really much known about the movie, they don't even know if Jack Black is going to reprise his role. He said he wanted to, but then you have to factor in if he is shooting a movie right now. Which I believe he is.

How could they not have him back in the movie? October seems a little too soon and a little rushed, especially if they don't have him back as R.L. Stine. Personally, you shouldn't make a sequel and not have him in it. Like my mom said, it would be like doing a sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean and not have Johnny Depp. It just simply won't do. Well now to watch another movie, this time a musical. Can you guess what it is before I post about it?? Here is a hint: It starts with a G. ;)

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.
