243: Matchmaker




Well, despite the politics in this movie...I do like it for the fact that it is different and finds herself some love and helps the Senator to go on the right path and find love himself. I also had to look up the Matchmaker Festival that they reference in this movie to see if it was true. It was! It apparently has been going on for 160 years in Ireland and people from all around the world come to find love, dance, listen to music and have a good laugh. I have decided that if I still haven't met someone in a couple years, I will find a way to go to this festival. I have always wanted to venture to Ireland and maybe see some other countries too. Might turn it into a trip if it gets there.

I have only seen this movie...let's see, this is my second time. It is my mom's movie. I actually like it, but I don't think I would go out of my way to purchase it for myself. It is definitely a feel good movie and I can see me borrowing it from her from time to time. Finding love in a different land and finding it when you were not even looking for it. The world works in mysterious ways and she got some good friends out of the trip and some amazing experiences. I wish it had ended on a different note though, like her going back to Ireland rather than them just kissing outside of the building where the Senator won the election for President. Somehow that just kills the mood for me and doesn't give me any idea as to what happens next. I mean of course they are together, but you know. Closure. I like a nice bow on it. Just my opinion.

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.
