154: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince




Harry Potter just keeps getting darker and darker. Also more complex is the world of love. Hermoine is showing how much she really is crushing on Ron, unbeknownst to Ron, and Ginny and Harry are having a hard time finding the right moment. I do like how in this movie you get to see that Draco is not as bad as he tries to make everyone think. It hurts him to kill a bird and to curse people with objects and he can't bring himself to kill Dumbledore. Goes to show that you don't have to be your parents and that there are more choices in life than good or bad. We are in the final showdown coming up for the students at Hogwarts. The lighting and tone has gotten darker and the drama and tense feeling has been skyrocketed.

Dumbledore always has a way of knowing things. Whether it is knowing where Harry is and what his friends are up to and knowing to trust Snape, knowing that he would appear to betray him and kill him. He knows that things had to happen the way they did in order for the end battle that is to come in the next 2 parts. He is truly a wise, trusting and great wizard and that is what makes his death so hard to watch. That is what makes it hard to see Snape and Harry's face when the death curse is spoken. You can tell that it pains them, you can see it in Snape's eyes especially. You can see it in Draco's. They say to never judge a book by its cover when speaking about people or other things, it goes to show how true that is.

Happy last day of April folks.

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.
