340: Saving Mr. Banks




Okay, so this is my 4th time seeing this movie. DON'T google this lady and what she was like, if you don't want to absolutely loathe her in this movie and think just how she doesn't deserve the happy redeeming ending they gave her personality...then you will be fine. Ha, ha. I mean, wow. For someone to write some amazing stuff, go and travel to other places to learn about the culture and mythology of the places, only for her to have a major stick up the ass and other things I won't mention with her family. I mean yeah it probably wasn't nice of Walt Disney to constantly go after her and pressure her to give him the rights, to make her come around to animation when she really didn't want it and the singing and dancing.

Then again, Mary Poppins is a classic and beloved by everyone from that movie. I never read the books, so I wouldn't know just what they were like exactly. I understand both points of view in the movie, especially if you have seen the film representation of Walt's life on Netflix and understand what he was talking about with Mickey Mouse. I think anyone who has created something, art, film, characters, books, etc., that is hard to let it go and be molded into something for the world to see beyond the original form. You can see how someone could become so set in their ways from their past explained and you can also just shake your head.

Even though I might not like the person who created Mary Poppins, I do like this movie. The actors do such a fantastic job, the scenes are well done and beautiful to watch a throwback to another period in time. If you watch this and do not google things, you will love this. If you do what I did, which was a big mistake, you might like it less. I do recommend it though, after all...it is about the story of how Mary Poppins became a movie and saving the one person in it no one ever suspected...Mr. Banks.

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.
