Who is your favorite movie character?

This is just a cruel joke.  How can someone pick just one character?  Characters are my thing.  They are my life in many ways.  I love movies.  I love television.  I love books. How can I pick just one movie character?  And then as I was looking around my bedroom, I realized I do have an ultimate favorite movie character.  He also doubles as a comic character, well superhero character as I have not had time to read my Groot comicbook yet.  Wow, I really thought I was going to have a better lead in than that to let you know I AM GROOT!!!!

What is a movie that no one would expect you to love?

I have struggled with this question.  I even found myself asking one of my best friends and my father if there was a movie they thought no one would expect me to like.  The truth is I like so many films there are not many people that would be surprised to here I love a movie.  When bringing up the movie I decided upon, a film that is just beyond out there, my dad said I should pick this one.  And as much as my dad laughed at this film once upon a time when I told him this was the film I debating on was a horrible movie.  I then proceeded to defend this choice because it’s amazing!  How can you deny Hulk Hogan as a space alien who fights The Undertaker who is also a space alien?  You can’t and that is why the movie I have chosen to write about is Suburban Commando.

What is the most underrated movie?

I feel in many ways there are so many movies that fall into this category.  Sometimes I even feel as if some of my guilty pleasure films fall into this category.  There are films out there though that truly touch us that yet so few people have ever heard of for some reason.  The good thing about video movie stores is that they let us peruse the store and allow us to rent films we would otherwise never see.  This is not because the films are all trash and were not released in theaters, but because these films are the ones that arrive at populated theaters and leave after a week.  No one is seeing these films because they don’t get enough advertisement, but that does not mean they aren’t amazing in their own right.  The Fall is one of those films for me.  A treasure I found while working at Blockbuster.  My friend watched the film first and insisted I needed to watch it as as well.  I’m so glad I listened.

What is the most overrated movie?

I oddly enough remember watching the following film in high school.  I kept hearing good things about the movie and thinking there is no way I will dislike this film.  The truth is not only did I not like it, but I found myself believing it was beyond overrated after seeing it on many people’s best films of all time lists.  While I would never include the following film on a  list like that for myself, far be it from me to deny others their love of the film.  And who knows, maybe I am just not a gladiator film girl because I did not care for 300 either.  However, something tells me with all that praise and all that male friends I have that love this particular film, I’m opening up to comments on why Gladiator is not overrated.

Who is your favorite actress?

Once again I find myself in debate mode.  There are so many talented actresses in the world that it is hard to choose an actual favorite.  I find myself in the same dilemma as I did with choosing a favorite actor.  In many ways I found myself going through phases with who my favorite actress was once upon a time too.  In high school I watched a lot of films the start Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, and Renee Zellweger.  Over the years I have continued to watch their films and added Kate Winslet to a list of stars whose films I have always enjoyed.  However, for almost a whole decade now I have enjoyed the films of an actress who is slightly younger than me.  An actress who has fought zombies, managed to get through high school rumors, and has amazing on-screen chemistry with Ryan Gosling.

Who is your favorite actor?

This is such a loaded question for me.  I don’t know that I have an overall favorite actor.  This has changed over the years many times.  In high school I would say I enjoyed films from what I affectionately call the Brit Bunch.  Continue reading “Who is your favorite actor?” →

What movie has left you feeling disappointed?

Last year on my birthday I thought I was sitting down to see one of the scariest movies I’ve seen in decades.  I was hoping for another film like The Conjuring.  One that gives an explanation while using the power of shadows and our imagination.  A film with a build of up a creature that does not disappoint by the end with bad CGI.  The film I was expecting was about a disease that takes us over and creates a creature we cannot identify with by the time the disease courses through us.  What little did I know is that whoever edited the trailer for It Comes at Night is the most brilliant editor in Hollywood.

What is the best movie you saw last year?

This is by far one of the hardest questions I’ve answered this whole challenge.  As most of you have probably figured out by now there are not many films I dislike.  And I say dislike because even if I say, “Oh I hated that movie,” I can’t really say that I truly hate anything.  When taking into account all the films I saw last year I thought about the film I’ve wanted to watch over and over again since viewing that film in the theater.  Continue reading “What is the best movie you saw last year?” →

What is the last movie you saw in theaters?

I will admit two things before I go into the answer for the day.  I probably would not have seen this movie without Moviepass.  If it weren’t for going to three doctor’s appointments in one day, thus having the day off, I probably would not have the opportunity to go see this movie.  And a third reason I saw the film was a theater near me was FINALLY playing the film.  Continue reading “What is the last movie you saw in theaters?” →

What was the first movie you saw in theaters?

I remember how excited my Aunt Michelle was to be the first one to take me to see a movie at the theater for the first time.  She did not take me to one that was close to the house either.  No, she decided to take me to the one that was at the mall, The Galleria to be exact.  I’m not sure how many people I know remember seeing movies there, but I can recall seeing two there and both were with my aunt.  I also remember her taking me to the arcade beforehand and getting to beat some poor gators heads.  But most of all I remember being the only kid who was not afraid of Ursula as she grew and showed the entire crowd why she had been deemed the sea witch.   Continue reading “What was the first movie you saw in theaters?” →
