235: Maid in Manhattan




Jenny from the block is rocking a new kind of Cinderella story. I like to think this movie relates to Cinderella. When you think about it, it really does. You get someone who cleans and serves other people, people who may or may not be nice to you and she winds up meeting someone while wearing something she normally doesn't with a false name...the only differences are that the love is so true that he would know her from sight, she has a kid and she didn't lose her shoe. Also her love interest, winds up being Voldemort years later in Harry Potter. But love is love. Ha, ha.

I do love this movie though. I would watch this movie and The Wedding Planner all the time growing up. Jennifer Lopez really knows how to convey a love that is truly pure, meaningful and believable. She also works in a position that is hard to go up from in terms of promotion, has all the skills to be a manager and yet is looked at as if she couldn't do it because of what she does, what her name is, what her race is and where she is from. She also has some great friends for doing an application for her to be the manager when she thinks she can't do it or would be looked down upon. Then again, that same friend who did that also had her try on $5,000 clothes and start the ruse of her being rich and living at the hotel she was working at. Tsk, tsk.

Ty, her son in the movie, is just super stinking cute and smart. For someone who has a hard time giving speeches, he is great at helping his mom give into the love he finds for her by accident and going to find that same person to get them back together. Kids sometimes know what is best for adults more than adults know what is best for them. Ty is a perfect example of that. In the end I am glad that it worked out for her and that she finally got to do what she does and even better by managing her own staff and company. Goes to show that you should never hold yourself back or let others hold you back, realize your worth and get out of that box! Prove people wrong. You'll be happier for it, now if only that meant we got the love of our lives at the same time like she did!

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.
