188: Iron Man 2




Mickey Roarke as the villain....I love him as a villain!!!! He is awesome! I mean he still doesn't look like he used to, but I mean you have to have a great villain and he is. I think he was better than Jeff Bridges from the first one, but that is just me. I mean ropes of slicing, arc reactor doom---I cannot stop saying how awesome it is. I think I like this one better than the first. I do like the first, but I have really only seen this maybe two times before now and it starts the whole Avengers storyline along with referencing Captain America with the shield prototype. I had to fast forward through the credits to see if they actually did something for an end credit scene and they did, a scene from Thor with the humans trying to free the hammer from the earth.

Back to this movie though, I can't believe I forgot that he was being poisoned by his chest piece and that the design changed. I remember seeing Infinity War the second time around and being like, "Wait when did his chest piece go from circular to triangular? Now I know why. Sad that the only thing I remembered before rewatching this was that there was a big battle between Mickey Roarke, War Machine and Tony in a botanical garden-like place. Yes that is all that I remembered. :( I feel slightly ashamed about that. Normally I remember more from movies. Rewatching this has also made me realize that the new friend, War Machine, is actually not as bad as I thought. I still like Terrance more, but this dude is pretty okay.

Well another movie for the books, this weekend will be nice to do another marathon and get deeper into the goal faster. I just have to work tomorrow and clean out the fridge, that has been on the chore list for a couple weeks, then I can kind of just chill and movie goal it out. Have a good night everyone and thanks for joining me on my adventure!

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.
