222: Little Bit of Heaven




This was the first and last time seeing this. My mom bought it years ago and never unwrapped it until now. I am still recovering from my crying, it is hard because it did remind me of the last moments of my grandma who passed away years ago. I was there when she was taking her last breaths and when she did in this movie I just broke. The movie was good, but we will not be keeping it. There is so much heart twisting things in this with her finding out she is going to die, being sick, being happy all up until the end and finding love when she had always been shut down. Not everyone goes out like Marley did and...

Sorry I am crying again. This is hard. It has brought back all those memories of my grandma, though she did not die of cancer, she was not very happy the months leading up to her going. I remember that in her last moments of consciousness though that she was happy. She was seeing green fields and mountains and it made me think of the paintings that were in Marley's bedroom and apartment. Vibrant and full of joy. When her mother sang to her the day before she passed, I broke again as well. It made me remember when my mom and I sang "Edelweiss" from Sound of Music and "I Am A Child Of God" while her breathing was slowing. Those were her favorite songs.

What is a post about a movie for the movie goal, has turned into a post about my grandma...my Oma. I miss her and I wish I could dance and sing with her again like they did at the party for her funeral in the movie for Marley.

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.
