My Top 10 of Most Exciting Movies of All Time!

I like to start off by saying that I had a great run being in this online journalism class. I mean I enjoyed that I got to be writing again which I’ve done in a while. This is my movie list and if you don’t like well then don’t read it. This is in no particular order by the way.

10. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

My favorite horror movie growing, I would watch this at night even though it would give me nightmares. I really liked this because as a kid, you are taught don’t look under the bed there’s a “boogeyman” under there. But, in the movie if you go to sleep you enter into this realm with this scary man named “Freddy Krueger”. The thing that spooked me the most about this movie was not just the killings or the dreams, it was the song that played which goes like this;
“One, two Freddie’s coming for you
Three ,four better lock the door
Five, six grab a crucifix
Seven ,eight better stay up late
Nine, ten never sleep again”
I was watching this documentary recently called something.. “Legacy” and was interested to see how this movie came about. There was a story that came out a long time ago where these kids accused a teacher of touching them inappropriately.  Also, it’s called “Elm Street” because that’s where JFK (John F. Kennedy) got assassinated on this block. A little trivia no one really knew about, but now you do! I picked this also because I really love Wes Craven films. I really liked the 1994 one,  the 7th version.

9.  Misery (1990)

This movie reminds me of the quote “Misery Loves Company”. This is about a crazy woman who holds this famous writer hostage and tells him to write a new novel. She is this obsessed fan that in his latest book “Misery”, she doesn’t want her killed off. So she forces him to rewrite a new novel despite his rejection to her.  I personally chose this movie because I used to watch this when I was younger, every time it came on. The parts that made this movie intense is what I like to call it, was when he tried to escape and the door was locked so he used a bobby pin. Another brutal part was when she hit his legs with a sledgehammer. I got to say this is one crazy woman. I love how he used the old type writer, I remember when I was younger my mom had one and I used to pretend to be typing a story that I wanted to share. I also loved Stephen King movies.

Iron Man 2 Flop!

I thought this one would have more action to like the first Iron Man did, but I guess I was wrong! The action didn’t begin til almost the end where Iron Man was trying to beat up(destroy)  his nemesis aka Whiplash. The movie started out where Robert Downey Jr.  was in a meeting with the government officials pleading with him to give his latest work so they can use it for military purposes. He was his usual funny, sarcastic humor that I like. But I didn’t like the part where his friend went behind his back and took the other suit and gave it to the military because that did no good.

The part I liked about the movie was when Iron Man was on the race track and his assistant gave him his armor in a suitcase, I thought that was clever. While I was watching this movie, I noticed they introduced new characters and since I’ve never read the comics nor the series on TV. I was unable to know the history behind them. So for people who’ve never seen it and are stuck in my position I would suggest reading up on the following characters! Scarlett Johansson’s “Black Widow”, Mickey Rourke “Whiplash”,  Don Cheadle“War Machine”.

Overall it was pretty good, I would say the first one was much better.If you go to see it you will enjoy what it is has to offer! Can’t wait for the next one..

Coming to a Blog Near You!

My big finale will be featuring the best of the best movies out there. So stay tuned to new movie posts as well as what I have in store for you all! Like, I said before I will be doing a My Top 10 Movies of All Time. I have already revealed one of the movies that I’ve chosen. The range of movies will consist of childhood favorites to movies I could watch over and over again. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to offer. I will also have one selected movie fan interviewed with some questions I have for them as well as an interview with Theatre Arts Chairman of York College. I will also present the collection of movies I’ve chosen through posters that are used to represent the movie itself.

For the last part I will do an interview with a special guest and ask them questions regarding the students that perform on stage and what not. I have compiled a list of questions, like about 10 of them to ask this person. Also, I’m going  to ask a movie fan about 5 questions or so regarding what they like and their opinions.

1,2.. Freddy’s Coming For You..

So today I went to see this movie the remake of the old classics Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) written by Wes Craven. Which I loved watching as a kid and would purposely watch it  at night than afterwords go to sleep. Knowing I could get nightmares in my dreams.

Let’s talk about this movie, they changed things around such as the new look on Freddy. He looks meaner and his acting is a little over the top than the original Freddy. I saw more action going on than blood and guts. Many people might not like this film simply because they’re so use  to the old classics that copying this movie would be out of the question. But for some that liked it such as moi, because some of the parts were good and different from the rest. There was a part where Freddy was acting tougher than he usually does and actually fought with the victims which he usually doesn’t do. So don’t go into this movie thinking it would be the same as the old one go in thinking with and open mind!

Since this is a childhood favorite movie of mine it is going on my Top 10 Movies of All Time! (the classic one 1984). So there will be more to come!

My Collection

These are a collection of my actual jewelry that I have and sometimes I wear for special occasions. I chose this because every girl has their own jewelry box plus it goes well with my movie blog because this jewelry store has been seen in a lot of movies. Such movies as “Breakfast At Tiffany’s“, “Sleepless In Seattle“, “Legally Blonde“, James Bond “Diamonds Are Forever” Sweet Home Alabama. I mean every girl has to have their diamonds. But I do think it is rather expensive to spend so much on jewelry. Also,  if you want to win over a girl just buy diamonds. (just saying)

Fresh and New!

For my Final Project I’m going to make a  My Top 10 favorite Movies Of All time instead of a specific genre it will be different ones and I’ll say why it is I like them.  Another would just be a continuation of A Day in the Life of Ms. Anna Part 2 I’ll have pictures made into a slide-show, and maybe a video to go along with it as well as a storyline.

I’m thinking of the first one it is simple yet easy to do.

My Big Plan

Everyone starts out with something they dream of doing from when they were just a kid, in hopes of it just might happen to them. I was recently watching this movies called “The Back Up Plan” and it’s about this woman (Jennifer Lopez)  who had it all figured out, her career, her work and such. But one thing she was missing was Family. So I was thinking to myself, how important is family to you ? Some people don’t want family maybe because they’re scared, don’t have the financial status to be able to start one, or maybe as a woman they can’t bear any. In this scenario, she couldn’t find “Mr. Right“. If that even exists, so she decided to take a donor sperm and use it on herself to get pregnant.

So she was waiting and waiting patiently til she got pregnant. But one day it was raining and she went to go get a cab and all of a sudden this guy gets in the cab with her. Seems like they stole each others cab.  As time went on they started seeing each other at the same places, which was quite a coincidence or maybe even faith? Where I’m getting is her big plan was to have a baby and be a single mom, but now her plans have changed.

Reminds of my big plans I had wanted to do which was go to this big university and live on campus to enjoy the whole college experience while I meet new people. But sometimes plans change whether it be good or bad it always turn out for the better.

In the end of the movie, she got both of what she wanted “Mr. Right” and a baby or should I say twins*. But for me, my Big Plan is I don’t really have one yet because I’m just getting started! Since my plans have changed in the past I recently made up for it when I got accepted to Hunter College for the Fall 2010 and I wish to have great experience there and meet new people. So I guessed it did work out for the better? So I have two things I wanted, great boyfriend and a great school!

Top Movie Blogs in 2010

I just Google that in and got some sites that are the best!  The first one I went to before when I couldn’t think of any creative ideas as to what to put on my blog. Such as Top 100 funny moments, why woman shouldn’t watch romantic movies, stuff like that..

1. The Movie Blog

2. Fandango Movie Blog

I think the key to a good movie blog is good posts, good reviews on movies you’ve seen,good feedback from people etc. I mean this is something I’m doing for my journalism class but I do really love writing. It is my passion to write stories that people can relate to. I will get to show it in the near future but I get my inspiration from different books that I’ve read, seen,or heard of. That is also one of the key things in a blog is to have a good movie to pick from with a good storyline.

Date Night

This movie was hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing. I also liked this movie because the two people that starred in this movie were a great duo together.  The movie starts out of a married couple Claire (Tina Fey) and Phil Foster (Steve Carell) always have a routine schedule that they do everyday with the children, chores, working etc. The couple set aside a day they called “Date Night” where they go to the same restaurant and order the same thing. But instead one night they decided to do something spontaneous which was go to the city to a restaurant called “Claws”.  This is one of those expensive high-end places and was very hard to get in without a reservation. So the couple pretend to be this other people called “The Triple horn’s” Even though they got a seat that was not all that happened, these two came thinking they were the couple who reserved the table and had stolen secret files on a flash drive. One thing led to another and the two were being chased by the cops, breaking into places, stealing cars,being robbed, held at gunpoint,etc

If you like these two characters in their most recent movies you would definitely like them in this movie. Steve Carell’s funny sarcastic humor and his facial expressions while he does it. I also like Tiny Fey’s witty remarks as she plays the wife and doesn’t know what a flash-drive is, calls it a stinky thing.

The movie basically says life is too short and you only live it once, but don’t go overboard to almost get yourself killed. I also think when your married you shouldn’t render yourself to be the boring couple type. You should still be able to have fun and do things for each other. I do know once you have kids it all changes but that is part of life and you took that route so deal with it. That’s why there are vacations and holidays so you can get that rest and relaxation. But if you have kids that is a different story. I’d say drop them at grandmas for two weeks and set sail the open sea! The way things work is if you have time for each other and make the best of it no matter what.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2010

What can I say about this movie ? Well it was good! At first, I thought it would be a mediocre movie that would get a few laughs and that’s it. Their was some funny moments in the movie that you just have to see for yourself.

The movie started with three guys that had been friends since high-school along with Adam’s (John Cusack) nephew where they revisit an old ski resort that they went to during their childhood. While Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Corddry), and Nick (Craig Robinson) were in their lodge they saw a magical hot tub that brought them back to 1986. They traveled back in time looking as young as they did back then and begin to think if they alter anything it would change their future. So they started doing everything the same exact way they had done before.

This movie reminded me of classics such as ” Back To the Future”, “Hangover” as mentioned by other people. or the movie “Click”. I mean it’s a movie set in a certain time period, in the 80′s and if you weren’t born then you might not understand some of the jokes. It was really funny in the movie when the nephew asked for a girl’s e-mail or to text him and she didn’t know what he was talking about. Since, back then technology wasn’t as advanced as it is now. We have so many things that we don’t appreciate and don’t take better care of. So my question is to you guys If you could alter or change anything in the past would you?
