Movie Challenge Quickfire, Round 2

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:06:52 -0500

Once again I flaked but I have really good excuse! I was busy making a moving for the past month, which was a really awesome experience and I can’t wait for everyone to see the finished product.

Anyway, here’s another quickfire:

Day 14 – A movie that no one would expect you to love: Pulp Fiction. People are always surprised when they find out I’m a huge Tarantino fan. Probably because I typically hate blood and gore, but he has a way of making it look so damn cool.

Day 15 – A character who you can relate to the most: Tough one. Are movie characters people we can relate to nowadays? Considering the material and the remakes?

Day 16 – A movie that you used to love but now hate: Drop Dead Fred. It’s only good if you’re a kid. Once you become an adult, you’re annoyed to no end by minute 30!

Day 17 – A movie that disappointed you the most: Most recently? The Lovely Bones. That movie should have been so much better than it was. The book is heartbreaking and the movie was just blah! Heavy handed direction at its finest.

Day 18 – A movie that you wish more people would’ve seen: Teeth & The Babysitters. Both movies are super crazy and once upon I time I used to force people to watch them when they would come over to hang out.

Day 19 – Favorite movie based on a book/comic/etc: Batman. All of them. From Tim Burton to Chris Nolan, I’ve never met a Batman film that I didn’t like. Well, with the exception of Batman & Robin (1997). That was painful.

Day 20 – Favorite movie from your favorite actor/actress: Natalie Portman (before the Black Swan hype) in Closer. One of my favorite movies.

Day 21 – Favorite action movie: The Boondock Saints.

Day 22 – Favorite documentary: Most recently, Exit Through The Gift Shop.

Day 23 – Favorite animation: The Lion King. Followed closely by Beauty and the Beast.

Movie Challenge Quickfire

Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:43:21 -0400

This is why I prefer paper clips over staplers - commitment is obviously not my strong suit.

Day 07 – The most surprising plot twist or ending: The Usual Suspects, “the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist” - one of the best endings ever. Still blows my mind.

Day 08 – A movie that you’ve seen countless times: Selena, one summer I actually watched it every single day. Was obsessed with Jennifer Lopez right up until the point where she became “J-LO”

Day 09 – A movie with the best soundtrack: Purple Rain, gah, it’s sooo good! I could listen to it everyday.

Day 10 – Favorite classic movie: Singing in the Rain and/or anything with Gene Kelly, Cary Grant or Sidney Poitier.

Day 11 – A movie that changed your opinion about something: Joan Rivers A Piece of Work - drastically changed my opinion about Joan Rivers. Pretty good doc.

Day 12 – A movie that you hate: The Lake House- seriously, I’m still trying to figure out what the hell that was about?

Day 13 – A movie that is a guilty pleasure: The Karate Kid - the original, not that Jaden Smith remake.

Proof positive that Michelle Williams is one of greatest working actresses of our generation! Trailer doesn’t completely sell me but I know she’ll pull this off.

Day 06: Favorite Made For TV Movie

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 23:37:58 -0400

“No One Would Tell” - simply because the fact that we’re supposed to believe that Kevin Arnold is DJ Tanner’s abusive boyfriend is laughable. Fred Savage is like the most non- threatening person on Earth. But that’s besides the point - it does make for a really good after school special and 15 years later I still tune in whenever its on.

“There’s no crying in baseball”

- - Tom Hanks, A League of Their Own

This can also be applied to everyday life.

Day 05: Favorite Love Story in a Movie

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:52:48 -0400

An Affair to Remember: Cary Grant + Deborah Kerr = an amazing love story that will leave in tears at the end. This movie takes you an emotional roller coaster and its worth every second.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus seems to be a proper sentiment.

Day 04: A Movie That Makes You Sad

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:28:09 -0400

My Girl: Obviously the part where Thomas J. is stung by the bees and Vada hysterically asks where his glasses are at the funeral - tears. Every single time. One of the most memorable films of my childhood (which will probably be a question later on) and its one that I still watch from time to time today.

Honorable Mention: A Walk to Remember. Gets me every time.
