279: Nim's Island




As a writer, I can tell you that most times you talk to your character like she does in this movie. Alexandra Rover vs Alex Rover. Yeah you seem crazy, but you get some great material and you live what you are writing. You can tell that the creators of this lived it when it finally came to life. It was how they saw it in their heads. If I wasn't sick right now, I would be writing. This made me want to write more of my book I have been working on. Gerard makes a great dad and also a great action hero, very Indiana Jones. I actually think this movie is pretty cute, anything with animals makes me love it and somehow I can kind of relate to poor Alexandra when all she wants to do is stay inside. I mean I don't feel like she does, I do like going out on adventures but I am more of an introvert.

There are times that I think it would be amazing to have the opportunity that Nim does, living on an island, learning things in a different way and knowing a simpler life and being handy. Yeah she lives on an island with a volcano...I couldn't do that, I mean what if is decides to become active again? Yeah I guess I do sound a little like Alexandra when I say THAT. Ha, ha. But it is a very logical concern. I kind of envy how close to the water she is and how good at being independent she is in the wild. I love water and would love to be living near it like that one day. It's definitely a good movie to watch when you are sick. Feel good.

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...

347: Sharktale

Everything is fish-i-fied! Krispy Kreme? Nope, Kelpy Kreme. Car wash? Whale wash. Time Square? Yeah that is now a reef that looks like it. Even though the animation is different and older than what we are all used to, since it has grown in quality, I still like this movie. Hilarious and the fish look like the people who voice them! Will Smith as a fish...actually just Will Smith voicing animation is perfect. He has the perfect comedy and way of talking and reacting that is pure magic. So that makes me really excited to see him as Genie in the new Aladdin movie coming next year. ;) See how I transitioned? Anyways, I still have the lyrics, "Working at the car wash," in my head today. Can you believe it? I am almost entirely caught up and we watched this yesterday. Speaking of....HAPPY HALLOWEEN! What are you guys going to be? Someone who is great at body paint or makeup should be Oscar for Halloween! Yeah, this is very last minute suggestion, but hey, it would be cool to...
