256: Mr. & Mrs. Smith




The movie that brought the once iconic couple together for 12 years. I have over-watched this movie. Saw it in theaters with my family when it came out and loved it right away. Brad just has a way of comedy that he works into his suaveness and then you get Angelina who is badass and trying to be a normal housewife and the girl who acts like she can't do things, when really she can hold her own. I mean come on, she was Lara Croft. The chemistry between them in this movie is probably what makes it such a great movie. You believe that they really love each other even though they are supposed to kill each other once they find out each other's secrets. Both are assassins for the government. This was originally a television series in the 1940's and that is kind of why there was the theme of her trying to be a housewife in this one. Then she sort of sheds it when she is fighting him, outsmarting him and joining him in Kostmart wearing another mannequin suit compared to the dress that was her only other option.

Watching the behind the scenes on how they made the car chase with Brad chasing her on foot. I had no idea that him tripping and crashing into the fence was an accident. He not only had a genuine reaction to it, but he also ad libbed his line before he crawled out of the fence. They used that rather than their other ideas. Personally I can't imagine it without him doing what he did. This is really just your good ol' action movie with spies/assassins, but with a nice twist in their marriage. Also who can forget Vince Vaughn as the best friend holding a shotgun in his hands as he shouts at his mom for startling him and how he almost just shot her right then. Ha, ha.

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.
