274: Next




What if you could see the future? What if you could see your own future? Now imagine if you had that ability and yet you could only see 2 minutes ahead. Next is pretty unique in how it is an action movie, a science fiction movie and a romance/drama and it makes you believe that this could really happen. I am one of those who believes in clairvoyance and those who truly do see future events before they happen. A lot of the time these very people do actually help out their fellow people, some are even helping out law enforcement with finding missing people or killers. In this case, Nick's character wants nothing to do with that. He doesn't want to be a guinea pig anymore and wants to live as normal of a life as he can. Then of course he catches the eye of the government and gets dragged into a terrorist plot that happens to involve him and the woman he saw in his vision 2 weeks more than what he normally can see.

The fact that there are so many possibilities in this movie and he shows each and every one, either by having it happen or by stopping it from happening. Imagine though if nothing was a surprise in your life anymore. Whether that was good or bad. I mean the bad would be nice to avoid, right? But the good is something that would be ruined for you and others too depending on the situation. Nick does a great job of believing this person is real, makes you see the other side of the coin and then goes on to see that his actions really are important to safe others and not just himself. In the end, finding that bomb directly lines up with his life and he didn't know it until it was I mean technically too late even if it was a vision moment.

Honestly, I highly recommend you see this movie if you want something different in an action movie. 👍👍

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.
