307: Priest




I honestly really love this movie. I was initially brought to it because of Karl Urban. Bad guy western Vampire, that used to be a Priest. Then I realized just how many people I know in this and the storyline just made me love it. Also, those weapons, watching the behind the scenes was cool. With Paul explaining his favorite weapon was his blade that splits into two. I agree whole heartedly. It was also cool to watch them explain how they did the bikes for the movie, as someone who grew up in cars. Sad that all that training to ride it didn't help once they went out into the desert and had to drive it on different terrain. Training wheels. Funny but sad that that had to happen.

The way that vampires are handled in this movie, is not romanticized like in other films. Even though Underworld is the same line as this one, you just don't get very many changes in how vampires are portrayed in horror films. Even the fact of a human vampire is new and never been done until Black Hat in this world. There are vampires who are creatures, not humanoid at all and the servants who are pale, blue eyed, can be in the sun and not entirely human nor vampire. The concept is very intriguing and it would be nice to delve into this world a little more. Not knowing what day and age it is, futuristic, Western, industrial and ruled by Religion that is more of a corporation of sorts.

It might not have done well and the chances of a sequel is most likely non-existent, I would love it if it happened.

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.
