300: Pitch Black




I am so far behind! My life has been completely taken over by the release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, so I have been streaming that on my Twitch and playing for hours on end. I also went to the Renaissance Festival yesterday and got heat exhaustion. Was going to watch the next movie, but was so tired and not in the mood for it. But now I am sort of on a break from the game...at least for the next hour possibly...to finish writing this and the next movie in line that I have watched. Anyways...

You can really tell that this is an early 2000 movie with the special FX, that is necessarily a bad thing in the sense that it is still good and was good when it came out. Movies have only gotten better with that kind of thing. Also I mean come on, Vin rocks this movie. I still like the sequel better than this one, I can't explain why, maybe it has to do with the touch more humanity riding within him in that one compared to this one. I mean this is the start of learning who he is and him learning to care for people. We only know so little about Riddick, he is a man of layers and most definitely excels at planning and out smarting everything around him.

I unfortunately saw this movie second years ago, I had no idea that Chronicles of Riddick was a sequel and had to get this one. It has an 'Alien' feel to it and is pretty dark in feel as well as reality when the eclipse happens, compared to the sequel. Honestly I don't know what else to say, other than it is good and this is maybe the....third time I have seen this movie and if you like Vin and you like sci-fi, go for 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.
