325: Resident Evil




I know what most of you are going to say and you know what? I like this movie. I don't care what all the naysayers say. I never played the game and I never will. Why? Zombies. I don't do well with Zombies, I have had an irrational fear of them for as long as I can remember. I would watched my brother play Resident Evil 4 and just about die. I am a little better now, I love this movie series and Walking Dead. I still hold to that if a zombie apocalypse ever happens for real, I am not going to hunker down and hole out. Nope. I'm going out immediately before I can even witness it and possibly get bitten and turned. I'm completely okay with that decision.

I wish I was as bad ass as Alice though, then I would maybe think about surviving the apocalypse. Focusing on this movie...

The one thing that shook me the most when I first saw this, it was on television and I was bored, was the laser room that she is standing in in this photo. Being cut to pieces and then don't even get me started on that elevator scene. I am glad they didn't show what exactly happened, but it was enough to really instill how much of a death trap those things can be. Never take the easy way for granted, it might just turn on you. Although given the chance I tend to take the elevator more than the stairs. I need to be better about the stairs.

Personally I just really love this movie, it was the one movie that first thrust me into the world of zombies and not wanting to die of a heart attack. It opened up the doorway for me to get over my irrational fear. It's cool, there might be some things to improve on quality wise, but Resident Evil holds a special place in my heart. I just wish that when I watched it this time around I was in the mood for it. Being sick still...I really wasn't in the mood to see blood, guts, spittle and stuff like that while I was having mucus drain down my throat and spitting up stuff. Completely understandable no?

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.
