159: The Help



You is kind, you is smart and you is important. I think everyone needs to remember this and say this about themselves, no matter what race, where you come from, or who you are. I remember when this first came out, I was working at a new movie theater nearby my house and people were coming out saying just how amazing it was. When I finally saw it for myself, I couldn't have agreed more with how truly amazing this movie is and the book it is based off of. I have read the book and loved it. I have watched the movie and loved it just as much. This will be one of my favorites just for the fact that it brings people together and shows that there are good people in the world seeking to help others.

It shows a past that saddens me and I know that on some level, we are still fighting as a whole for equality and just common decency and respect. I think everyone loves the part where Minnie feeds Hilly a pie full of her own shit. "You ate not one, but two pieces!!" I also love that Minnie finds Celia in her life, who treats her like she deserves to be. Like anyone does. And it also turns out that Celia needed Minnie just as much in her life. Both gave each other courage and security. Though I would have liked for Skeeter to have her happy ending with Stewart, I think it was best for her to not be with him. She needs someone outside of her hometown, someone who will respect what she has done, wants to do and who she is without making her feel alone or outcast.

I did realize while watching this that the editor in chief of the Jackson Journal was Leslie from Will & Grace and I couldn't imagine anyone else in either role but him. He is perfect. This movie is really good and down to earth and the tears will fall where Constantine and the end is concerned. You could tell just how much Abileen means to Elizabeth, a lot like how much Constantine mattered to Skeeter and her mother. They were family.

So now I would like to thank all of you in the world, for being who you are and reading this as I go on my journey. I love you, even though I don't know you, but remember...you is kind, you is smart and you is important.

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.
