150: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets




So this movie, I remember loving it so much when it came out. Draco matured a bit more and my crush on him just soared as well as my crush for Daniel for a brief moment. My least favorite part of this movie is the part where they go into the dark forest and meet Aragog the giant spider. The babies freak me out too, but when you have a non-CGI creature that huge and a spider...I was squirming. When you can brush a spider with a barbie hair brush, that is just too much and just a big fat NO for me. Ha, ha. Who else noticed that in this movie Ron got funny? He wasn't that funny in the first one, but now he is pretty much the comic relief with his facial expressions. He is VERY expressive. Just like I am and I have no eyebrows.

I have to mention the polyjuice potion. That just made me want to throw up or gag watching them drink it. Kind of like a nasty grey protein shake and then you add hair to it to drink. This is also the last Harry Potter that the original Dumbledore was in before he passed away. The new Dumbledore did a great job of filling the shoes, but you can definitely tell that it was done because you have someone a little younger under the beard and long hair. I know everyone was very sad at the time when his passing was announced.

Now I don't know about you, but I had the first and second movie as video games on my Playstation. I still have them, the only problem is that my memory card won't recognize the game and when I go to play I kind of have to play it and hope it doesn't crash. That doesn't really work, it has crashed at the same point in the game, halfway through it and I have to start all over again. I don't have the patience to do it right away, so I revisit every once in a long while. I also had the computer games when they came out way back on the older PC's. I loved playing those games and you had to deal with Jeeves the mischievous ghost along with Filch and his cat.

I have seen these so many times, but re-watching the movies have brought up so many memories, especially with the first two. Well I am off. Have to contemplate the answer to Mr. Weasley's question of the function of a rubber duck, not dream about giant spiders and get some much needed rest before work tomorrow. Goodnight people!

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.
