306: Pride, Prejudice & Zombies




I have never seen the original movies, I have only seen Austenland and this. I haven't even read a Jane Austen book, but I do have a Jane Austen collection from Barnes and Noble in my pile of to read. You know, the really fancy hardcovers that are huge? Yeah, that collection. I do really like this movie though and I love this Darcy. I don't know how I would like the other Darcy's without their leather duster, swords, brooding and zombie killing. I'm sorry, but I love the guy who plays this Darcy. He also happened to play the Crow in Maleficent and I loved him in that too.

I am also insanely jealous of how Lily James looks. She is so beautiful, her hair, the clothes she gets to wear and elegantly fighting like a badass. I want to be Elizabeth Bennett from this movie. Maybe for Halloween one year or this year....hmmm...we shall see. Either way, I love this movie. I didn't used to like zombie movies, they scared me, but Walking Dead nipped that in the bud after a trial and error and success. There is a very deep connection between Darcy and Elizabeth, I think because there is life and death involved and they are so alike but refuse to see it until fighting for their lives. I have to say that I do wish that Darcy hadn't done what he did at the church, putting human brains in the communion, because then they wouldn't be trouncing down the gate of their wedding.

Then again, there was just a bad fallout between Darcy and the Lieutenant anyways. It might not have worked out and it might in the end. Who knows? I mean, I would like to believe that things would be better if he hadn't done that, but I mean it might have happened anyways. *shrugs* I do want to get the novel though and even though the prequel and sequel to it isn't written by the same person, it was taken over by someone who was able to continue it with the original author's blessing. At least I hope. Either way, I want to find out how it ends! I hate that they did a happy ending and then a cliffhanger clip after the cast credits. 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.
