175: Hotel Transylvania



Another movie where Adam Sandler has him and his crazy, funny, wacky friends in it, but in animated family friendly form. This movie makes me think of my dad, getting just as goofy as Dracula does with Mavis. Singing to her while playing guitar, teaching her how to fly...okay so my dad didn't do the flying part, he just lifted me in his arms and pretended I was an airplane. Watching this again I miss my dad, I had him watch it a few years back when we were having one of our hang out days when I still lived in Utah. I do get to see him in a month though! Flying back for my brother's wedding! He found his Zing just like Mavis did. ;) See how I tied that together?

This movie is so cute and funny with how it brings about classic monsters and humanizing them. A hotel just for monsters, I think that would be awesome to go to, especially with it being a castle. I mean come on, I was a little jealous of Johnny stumbling in there and blending in. Poor Dracula though, he just wants to be a happy family, make sure his daughter is safe and give her a great birthday. All his worst fears have to come to life, only to have them unfounded in this new day and age. Then again, he has to deal with the fact of a boy liking his daughter and vise versa! Every dad's nightmare.

It also shows that while the monsters have a fear of humans hating them, judging them and stuff, they are the exact same way with Johnny when they find out he is a human...at least at first, before Dracula reveals that Mavis and Johnny zinged. Then of course all is forgiven. Ha, ha. Maybe not so much in Quasimodo's case with still being frozen with his finger up his nose. As long as everyone is happy, with no fear and plenty of love to go around, I think this movie is definitely in one of my top favorites. Also, it is monster based. Gotta love a monster.

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.
