182: Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus





It has been a couple years since I have seen this last and I had no idea until I watched it this time, that Heath had died during the production of this movie. I had no idea also that he was financially backing the movie and that the idea to have 3 different actors replace him in the Imaginarium was due to his death. Also that 2 of the 3 of those actors were very dear friends of his. It makes me love this movie even more!! I know it is a little weird and different, but I love how it kind of lets you escape and shows that you can go to another world to choose your path. Albeit that path could lead to death or enlightenment and all because of a wager between a monk and the devil....I do like that it is a movie that you have never seen before. There is comedy and plenty of deceiving going on, but there is more to it than meets the eye.

In the end the bet is done, a liar and cheater of death and money has been put to justice, a girl with dreams of a happy normal life and a reformed gambling drunken monk find a happy ending. Well maybe not so happy ending for the 2nd listed, ha, ha. I do recommend this movie if you like out of the ordinary and love all the actors in this movie. You might question why you are watching it and what on earth you are seeing, but some of the best movies do that. Some of the best actors do that and they happen to be in this. Rest in peace Heath Ledger, as well as Vern Troyer who passed earlier this year. 💓

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.
