248: Mirror, Mirror




First thing is first, because he is in this movie..."One cannot simply overthrow the Evil Queen," or, "One cannot simply kill Snow White." Okay, now that Sean Bean is out of the way. :)

I have seen this movie more than 10 times, but less than 20. I was speaking the lines as they were being said, the ones that I loved and just also stuck in my head in the most. What I love about this take on Snow White is the costumes, the scenery and the Bollywood-esque song and dance number at the end of the movie. Interesting fact: Lily Collins recorded the song and didn't tell her dad, Phil Collins, so when he saw the premiere with her he was stunned and very proud. Read that in an interview she gave. Now I know that Snow White was the first animated movie ever made, but I'm gonna be honest...Snow White is the one Disney Princess and movie that I loathe. However, this movie, Snow White & The Huntsman, and Snow White with Sigourney Weaver as the Evil Queen are the only movies that I like. I do also like the Snow White in the television show Once Upon A Time.

One of my favorite parts, which is pretty much half the movie or maybe less than half, is when Armie Hammer portrays the spell of puppy love. He does it so well and when they did the sounds of puppies whimpering, whining and all good things, it was just marvelously hilarious and perfect. I need to hunt down that song now on my iPod and listen to it on repeat. Very easy to have stuck in your head and super catchy. Makes you wanna dance it is that good. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself and maybe the movie too. ;)

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.
