259: Muppets Take Manhattan




So this movie I got from a cereal box many years ago, back in Elementary school and it advertises AOL online trial. I kept it because come on...it's the Muppets! I actually really like this movie, but find them a little naive when they leave college thinking that they will immediately be on Broadway once they get to New York and meet with someone. Now sure, the first person they met affirmed those unrealistic notions and then a second after he got arrested for basically stealing client's money. I do like that it shows that if you try hard enough, don't give up and have people around you that believe in your journey or at least are there to support you...you can do what you set out to do. What does bother me a little is the fact that his friends worried they were a burden to him and rather than talk about it and get the facts straight, then maybe they could have helped out rather than running off pretending to have amazing lives and jobs.

Poor Kermit did all the footwork for his show and I mean yeah they are his friends and came once the show was locked down on stage, that just doesn't seem like much of a friend to me with abandoning him and lying to him. Even Miss Piggy stayed behind to keep an eye on him, but she did it without him knowing she was still there. Watching him struggle and in need of people to help him, especially his friends. This movie is great for kids and it does have a great story line...basically what I said above is the reason I have a small issue with it. When you get older you realize more things than when you were a kid. *shrugs*

In the end it all worked out and even Kermit and Miss Piggy got married on the stage. Sneaky Miss Piggy replacing Gonzo for a real priest. But you know they did say that once they got on Broadway they would get married officially. What can you do? When Miss Piggy wants something, Miss Piggy tends to get it. ;)

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.
