143: Groundhog Day



I think by now you know I am pretty honest. I don't like this movie. I said I hated it, but I think dislike is more appropriate and the reason being is that I just don't like Bill Murray as a lead. When he is supporting, he is not that bad, there are others to kind of balance him out. My mom loves this movie, but I can't stand it. Not saying that it is bad, because everyone else is fine, I just do not like Bill Murray. Ghostbusters he is great, in Charlie's Angels...great. But again, he had other main characters beside him or he was supporting in a small part. I know it is supposed to be about a guy that is a massive jerk who has to learn a lesson and turn a new leaf. I can't explain it, but I just don't like it. I COULD say that it is because of what he does before he becomes good, or even when he is good he is kind of smug, or the fact that it would drive me nuts and does drive me nuts to live the same day over and over again watching him do selfish things. That is only touching on a small knowledge of why I don't like it, the rest I honestly don't know. Just doesn't sit well with me.

Opinions these days tend to offend people left and right, if you like this movie that is beyond fine. That is great! Like I said in my other posts, "No one likes the same movies all the time," and that is not precisely how I worded it, but generally what was said. This is just one person's view of this movie and this actor. My mom loves it, yet she hates the song "I Got You Babe" used in the movie. *shrugs* Everyone is different. Now I am going to go to bed, or at least get ready and maybe play a small word game now that I am doing a little bit better as the day went on. Whatever happens, I just hope that I don't dream I am reliving the same day over and over again for years. Then again, I have felt like I have for 2 weeks being sick. Wake up, feel like crap, throw up, die on the couch, be completely void of thought, bathroom, go to bed and then repeat it all over again....a little ironic that the goal and this movie happens to hit at this point in time.

Who else has been feeling like their days are repeating in a loop?

Over and out.

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.
