205: Kid in Aladdin's Palace




Now this one is going to be a little backwards, this is actually the sequel but because it starts with Aladdin being correct alphabetically it is first. The first movie is actually after this one. Ah the movie challenge. So remember how I said in the previous post that there was a theme of time and reality bending? Well now you know what I was talking about. The cat is out of the bag or more like the genie is out of the bottle. It has been so long since I have seen this that I literally only remembered the princess and that his job was as a pizza boy. I freaking love it all over again! Yeah the fx aren't the best, but come on that was what it was in the time and it actually wasn't as bad as some other old movie action-y type movies I have seen.

No matter what movie you watch that involves comedy, there is always a hilarious sidekick that tries to steal the show...in this case it was the camel. The camel who farts all the time and even had one of his famous farts used to burn away guardians of the valley of death with a torch. That is one way to defeat enemies. You do also root for Calvin to be with the princess and of course his futuristic tools and way of doing this attracts her to him. I can't help but think though, if the time travel laws were really enforced in this movie technically all of those items that he left behind as gifts to people would have changed the future quite drastically. Then again this isn't a TRUE time travel movie where scientific laws apply. All in all the movie is great and brings a lot of nostalgia. Who else remembers this movie growing up?

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.
