240: Mary Poppins





"Oh, let's go fly a kite. Up to the highest height! Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring...UP through the atmosphere. UP where the air is clear! Let's go. Fly a kite!"

That song is going to be in my head all day I imagine. Well I started this movie last night and finished it just now. I am doing much better today, especially being on medicine now that we know what is wrong. I wish my medicine though tasted as good as theirs did. Lime Cordial. Strawberry. Rum punch. Although that last one I don't really know how good that tastes. I have watched this movie many times and each time I still hate that part in the bank when the elders are basically looming over the kids. Telling them how to live and how to spend and all that. Kind of forcefully trying to convince them into investing their money. I know that logically it is wise do invest at a young age and open an account, but the way that it was brought upon would be very traumatizing to a child. It was to me when I was little and I still hate the part in the movie. Gives me anxiety and I just want to help Jane and Michael escape.

My favorite song in this entire movie has to be "Stay Awake". I have always loved that song more than anything, it is so soothing, pretty and I want to curl up in my bed with a fire going like they did. I also wished that cleaning would be as easy as they were able to do it. I would snap my fingers and wish super hard that things would move when I motioned them to or pointed them to. I even wished I could jump into books or my television like they did with the chalk art outside the park. I still wish that magic like that was possible, but I guess we just have to settle with it in books, movies and television shows. Mary Poppins will always be there to help us when we need it and make our imaginations flow. I am interested in the sequel that is coming this Christmas, nervous but intrigued. It'll be nice to see what new adventures Mary has for us.

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.
