195: Jumper




I would love to be able to jump around places like they do in this movie. I know that in the wrong hands this ability could be disastrous, but watching it I was just super jealous that he could instantly jump to the pyramids, go to London, be in Rome...I would love to have this ability to see the places in the world that I want to learn more about. Egypt, Italy, England, Scotland, Iceland, Greece, Germany...I could go on and on honestly. I always loved learning more about other countries that I did about the US in school. It is older and there is some amazing architecture that you just don't see here in the states. Also I have relatives in Germany and would love to be able to see them face to face and see where my grandmother grew up before she came over.

You don't really see Hayden Christensen in things anymore, not as much as when he was in Star Wars episode 2 and 3. He kind of boomed and then disappeared. He was really good and then of course I forgot that Rachel Bilson was in this, I know her from Hart of Dixie. 💓

Also watching the behind the scenes, watching them figure out how to jump someone and the process going into scientific ways of, "Would jumping disturb the environment around the subject when they came and went?", "Would jumping leave a rip/scar in the space time continuum?" Stop motion and visual fx that make this movie feel like it is actually happening and real. I mean I thought they filmed on some of the locations they jumped to. Guess what? They did not! It was all CGI. And they even had multiple doubles to do the stop motion fighting to film a sequence that huge. This movie really is amazing and it has been years since I have seen it. Seeing it again and learning more about it afterwards just made it even cooler to know the process and love the movie more.

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.
