144: Grown Ups




This movie is a blast. You can tell while watching this and the special features, just how much fun they had on set. Adam and his friends, because that is what they are. Ball busting, pestering and not-censored group of comedians. I love how this movie is not just a reunion of pals, it is also about getting back to the good ol' days of playing outside and finding something to do besides looking at your phone or watching tv. I mean that literally is what happens to the kids in this film, what with Adam's kids in this being spoiled and not appreciating what his dad has been trying to teach them. Even his wife in the movie learns that there is more to family and focusing on the moment and life, that she comes back to earth. Yeah, she did basically ruin the Tooth Fairy for her daughter when she realized it, but I mean...those moments tend to happen.

There are times when how they are being friends, it makes me cringe with how harsh they get on the ribbing. But I have noticed that guys, especially really good guy friends, tend to do that. Can we also talk about David Spade's hair? I am a woman and he has lustrous hair and volume that most would kill for. Seriously David...what is your secret? Also watching this, I realized that the wife in this movie of Kevin was the owner of the bar in Coyote Ugly. I normally wouldn't know that, but I have been noticing a trend in my movie goal in how many times a certain actor shows up. Either I like the movies they are in, or they just happen to be drawn toward those genres.

Now that Spring has finally hit here, this was a nice movie to get amped for the hotter weather coming and hopefully going out to the lakes nearby. Gonna have to wait for that though till next month, almost done being sick. Before I know it, I will be just like these wild "grown ups" skipping rocks and enjoying nature with lots of laughs.

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.
