227: Lone Ranger




"High ho silver, away!"

I know that this movie caused controversy with Johnny Depp playing Tonto, but I honestly think he did a good job in this movie. Now do I think that they could've found a really good Native American actor to play him, known or unknown, well definitely. It would have made it amazing if they had done that! But I do like the movie because it is funny, it is well written, well directed and that overture...man that overture is long, but it is intense. You can't not kind of bounce a little up and down when it starts on the famous part everyone knows. I didn't grow up watching the original show, my mom did and I know that when we first saw this when it came out she loved it. I think if I remember correctly she wanted to watch the show again. Ha, ha.

If they do a sequel, it would be nice to see the Lone Ranger and Tonto continue on more adventures. There is definitely more and with the railroad causing issues throughout the country, there is more corruption that is done in the name of good to be stopped. They did kind of leave it with the possibility of more stories to be told as in the credits they are riding off to do more and then even after that is another credit scene with old Tonto walking off towards the rock formations of the West. Methinks there is more to be done there and we still don't know about whether the Lone Ranger goes back to be with his old flame and his nephew once he has finished his quest of being a spirit walker. So many ends that need to be tied up, I guess you could say it is a pet peeve of mine when there are loose ends in life, movies or books. Everything can't be wrapped in a bow though.

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.
