244: Max Payne




The main lesson to learn from this movie, is that if you are friends with someone and you lie to them about hurting their family...it will come back to bite you. It doesn't even have to be their family, it could be just them. I like how this movie makes you think it has a supernatural element to it with the Valkyrie's that are being seen. Really it is all the effects of the drug that was made to create a super soldier. No fear, no pain, just all out power. I haven't seen this movie since 2009 when it was released on DVD, but I do remember seeing it in theaters with my friends and finding out later on that my brother was in the same theater as me all the way at the top. It was when I came home that night to tell him how awesome it was that he said yeah, I was there too. "Did you stay for the end credits scene?" I had no idea there was one. Why? Because end credit scenes weren't even a thing yet!!

I have never played the video game that inspired this movie, I am not for first person shooter games unless it is Destiny or Halo. I know, shame on me, whatever. I have heard it all, even from working at Gamestop when I did. I do like this movie, it is like a thriller that you want to find out who dun it basically. Action packed and thought provoking. I am sad that they never followed it up with a sequel, if you have seen the end credits scene you know they set it up for him and Mona to go after the head of the pharmaceuticals company. I guess we will never know.

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.
