198: Just Go With It




When a lie has just gone too far, you just have to go with it. What is so funny about this movie is just the ridiculous lengths that are taken in getting the girl he thinks is the one, only to find out that his friend and assistant who helps him with his fake life is who he actually loves. Two hilarious people...well I mean I should add who played Eddie, because he is just comedy gold with the sheep selling, the accent, the sheep resuscitation and the costume for the role of Dolph but not the one from Rocky. Also another movie in Hawaii. I went from a dinosaur movie shot in Hawaii, to a normal movie shot in Hawaii. Hawaii is a very popular place to film movies, there is a trend I am seeing.

I think also that I do love that things get mended as the movie goes along. The kids that have an absent dad that doesn't want to spend time with them, a guy that doesn't want to get his heart broken but still is kind of searching for someone to love, same with the girl, and then there is Devlin. Katherine lying to her old college roommate and same with Devlin on not wanting to appear dull and like their lives are a failure. Always competing and one upping. Yeah poor Palmer most likely didn't find out that she had been lied to by Danny, otherwise I don't think she would have taken the kids out to ice cream, but I am glad that she found someone who was more like her and perfect for her even on the plane ride home. N'sync lovers unite.

There are moments that the humor in this go to that uncomfortable place, but that is what you get with Adam Sandler sometimes and pretty much with a lot of comedians. You never know what will be hilarious to people, but you can't please everyone. I do like this movie, it is super funny and I can't imagine how hard it was to try and keep a straight face around those two comedians on set.

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.
