312: Princess Diaries




One movie that will never ever get old and all the jokes will continue to be hilarious. Now, fun fact, when I first saw this movie in theaters it was with my mom's friend--we miss and love you Brenda, rest in peace--and her daughter. I was leaning forward in the seat with my chin resting on my arms that were on the backs of vacant seats in front of me. During the part when she fell off the chair while trying to sit correctly, well I slid off my chair and onto the floor. My mom's friend was laughing so hard and I was confused as to what happened, but it really is funny when you think about it. Brand new movie and no indication that that was going to happen and bam. On the sticky, dirty floor of the movie theater.

Julie Andrews is the vision of regal, poised and glamorous. I mean, who wouldn't want to be trained to be a Queen by her? She is a Queen. I'm sorry Beyonce lovers in the world, but Julie Andrews holds that title. If you haven't seen Sound of Music or Mary Poppins, you are missing out. Then you get Anne Hathaway who stormed onto the scene in this movie as her first lead feature film! Everyone wanted to find out that they were a Princess secretly, to have a friend as great as Lily--even though her friend wasn't so great bagging on her in the limo--and an awesome mom, home and car. Jealous.

We could also all relate to Mia, the awkward teenager wanting to fit in while at the same time seemingly uninterested in being an 'A crowd wannabe' as Lily puts it. This also spurred the want of an electric scooter really badly at the time. Everyone learned how to wave and sit like a princess from this movie. Also the fact that the anthem for Genovia kind of takes from the Canadian anthem, but we will let that slide. ;) Love this to end, forever and for always.

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.
