191: Josie and the Pussycats




I haven't seen this in a good 5 years and I forgot how much I loved it! I still remember all the songs, after all I do still own the soundtrack. I actually did forget how much branding is in this movie, yeah it is mainly about their rise to fame and wanting to be famous, but it is also about subliminal messages hidden in music to get people to buy things. Du Jour though...it brings back fond memories of being addicted to Backstreet Boys and N'sync and they did a great job of mimicking the music and stuff with them. Also I have seen a lot of patterns on owning movies with the sames actors in them! Du Jour big time on that one.

When I was little I wanted to be a rockstar and it didn't help that my dad taught guitar and I grew up with music running in my veins. Cousins, grandparents, parents, etc. This movie really made me want to be just like Josie and the Pussycats. I wanted a band with friends just as close as them and I remember I really wanted to have hair just like Josie. Sassy red and short. I can't pull off short hair though, it took one time when I was little just how different people are with their faces and hair. I was in a huge song writing phase when this came out too, I mean I tried it before and then this came into the world and my song writing boomed to pretty much every day and every single moment I had a pen and paper in Elementary school.

Watching it now, I still love it but I know more than I did then. I had chased that dream like they did and I got as much of it without becoming famous to know that is not what I wanted to be. If you have a dream, go for it! Because you might find that is really what you want or not. You should be able to live it and be able to say that.. Not everyone gets to or finds the drive to make it happen. This was my first introduction to Riverdale, but I don't know if I will actually watch the tv show that everyone likes. I would really only watch it for Josie and that is not enough for me. So I will stick with this movie and the awesome music! Gonna dig out my CD!

397-461 The End

Image
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.
