228: Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring




Now for the next trilogy!!!! The first released in the series in movie format. I remember when we got the trilogy when it came out on DVD, that I was not into this kind of movie. I watched it and thought when I was little that this was a waste of time that I would never get back. Now these kind of movies are what I love!! I love books that are like this, writing things like this, etc. Sometimes you grow up and your likes change and I definitely had that case. I have seen this movie quite a few times, but the 2nd and 3rd I have only seen once and that was back when I was little. I still love Legolas, but I love Strider more and my mom now knows where 2nd breakfast came from. She has been saying she needs to eat her 2nd breakfast, with her diabetes and her doctor had called it that. Well I'm pretty sure that her doctor got it from LOR and my mom could be a Hobbit with her different meals she has to eat like they love to eat.

I enjoyed watching the behind the scenes on this movie like I did for the Hobbit. It is amazing to see how they started out and to see where they had gotten the ideas in New Zealand. Also, did you know that the original illustrator from a version of the LOR book, he was used for the movie to create how they would do Hobbiton and Rivendell? It is amazing to see. The Hobbit and LOR might not have been made into books if the publisher hadn't given his little boy the books to read, review and say it was good. He published almost anything he had a great opinion on. That is a pretty awesome dad.

The iconic theme is magical, relaxing and very pretty when coupled with the images of New Zealand and honestly, I would love to go there to see the places they filmed like so many do now that the movies have been out for years. One day. One day I will go and wear my one ring while I am there. Can't wait to see the rest of the journey Frodo is on. Like I said, the other movie after this has been years and only seen once. Like watching it for the first time. :)

397-461 The End

Image
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.
