316: Public Enemies




Wanna know a cool factoid about my family? So, Baby Face Nelson--who is in this movie--took my mom's great grandma...maybe great great grandma, I can't remember how many greats, it might be one, hostage. While they were driving away, they were driving for some time until they finally let her go because she wouldn't stop telling them to slow down and being a backseat driver. Now that that is out of the way, this movie is actually pretty cool. You actually kind of feel for Johnny Dillinger in the movie and see things from his point of view. Then you also get to see just how bad things were back then with the law enforcement under Hoover. Someone who didn't care about getting dirty and rough in order to get the bad guy. I can see why Melvin quit and to see his discomfort as the movie went along with what had to be done.

I do love watching stuff from this time, I honestly love all the cars, the outfits and the music. I can't even begin to imagine though how it was living in this time with such notorious bank robbers and gangsters running the country. Everywhere you went you were at risk in stepping in a puddle of it all, or even worked. Every time has their hardships. Johnny Depp did such a great job though in this role. These 50's or so movies, he fits it so well with his look and how he can act. Like I said, he really makes you feel for his character and makes you want him to have his happy ending with Billie far away somewhere.

397-461 The End

Image
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.
