30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #30

Day 30. Last Movie You Watched

I’m so sad to say that this is the last day of my movie challenge. I’ve enjoyed doing this challenge so much…maybe I’ll find another challenge to do in a few months or so. Let me know if you have any suggestions. My thoughts are maybe a tv or photo challenge. Anyway here’s the last day of the movie challenge!

• Butter (2012)–In small-town Iowa, an adopted girl discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman in their town’s annual contest. Starring Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde, Hugh Jackman, Ashley Greene, Alicia Silverstone, Ty Burrell, Rob Corddry and Yara Shahidi. Yes this movie is all about butter sculpting but I loved it! There is such an emphasis on the characters and their relationships that make this story so touching. They are crazy yet so endearing. The cast is wonderful! Definitely recommending this movie!

• Now and Then (1995)–Four 12-year-old girls grow up together during an eventful small-town summer in 1970. Starring Christina Ricci, Rosie O’Donnell, Gaby Hoffmann, Demi Moore, Thora Birch, Melanie Griffith, Ashleigh Aston Moore and Rita Wilson. This is one of my all-time favorites and it didn’t really fit into any of the other categories so I figured I would watch it and mention it here. It’s a great coming of age story with all the fun and weirdness of being a kid/preteen.

• Gone Baby Gone (2007)–Two Boston area detectives investigate a little girl’s kidnapping, which ultimately turns into a crisis both professionally and personality. Based on the Dennis Lehane novel. Written and directed by Ben Affleck. Starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris and Amy Ryan. I’ve seen this movie a handful of times but it was the 99 cent rental on iTunes so i figured I would watch it again. I really love Ben Affleck behind the camera! He did a wonderful job with this film as well as The Town. I’ve also heard great things about Argo. I can’t wait to see it.

• Save the Date (2012)–Sarah begins to confront her shortcomings after she rejects her boyfriend’s hasty proposal and soon finds herself in a rebound romance. Meanwhile, her sister Beth is immersed in the details of her wedding. Starring Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, Martin Starr, Mark Webber and Geoffrey Arend. My girl crush right now is Lizzy Caplan and I just love everything that she does. This movie moves slowly but it’s an interesting look into a woman’s resistance to relationships.

• Riding in Cars With Boys (2001)–A single mother, with dreams of becoming a writer, has a son at the age of 15 in 1965, and goes through a failed marriage with the drug-addicted father. Starring Drew Barrymore, Steve Zahn, Brittany Murphy, James Wood and Lorraine Bracco. This is another favorite of mine that I sometimes forget about because it is pretty sad. I love Drew Barrymore and I think this is one the best roles she’s ever played.

What was the last movie you watched??

30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #26

Day 26. Movie You’re Most Embarrassed to Say You Like

I’m not really embarrassed to say that I like movies. I know there are a lot of bad movies that I enjoy. They’re entertaining. I get the difference between a good and a bad movie but sometimes I just don’t care!

• Surviving Christmas (2004)–A lonely, obnoxious young millionaire pays a family to spend Christmas with him. Starring Ben Affleck, Christina Applegate, James Gandolfini, Catherine O’Hara and Jennifer Morrison. It’s completely nuts and crazy but I laugh through the whole thing! It’s charming and entertaining! Oh and I’ve seen/met most of the main characters in this movie!!

• The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)–Lizzie McGuire has graduated from middle school and takes a trip to Rome, Italy with her class. And what was supposed to be only a normal trip, becomes a teenager’s dream come true. Starring Hilary Duff, Adam Lamberg and Yani Gellman. I was a huge fan of the show so of course I would love the movie! It’s every girl’s dream to meet a cute Italian boy and become a popstar! And I know I’m not the only one that loves this movie…I think we all know the correct response to “HEY NOW HEY NOW!”

• Life-Size (2000)–A widower’s daughter accidentally brings her doll to life while trying to cast a spell to resurrect her mother. Starring Lindsay Lohan, Jere Burns and Tyra Banks. Look it’s cute little Lindsay! It shines bright and far! Hahaha! That song gets stuck in my head so often!!

• Glitter (2001)–Similar to Mariah’s life story. Mariah plays the role of a younger singer who is eager to become a big star. She dates a DJ who helps her get into the music business. Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley and Terrence Howard. I know, I know! Everyone hates this movie but when it first came out I think I was going through a Mariah Carey phase. I love her voice and still listen to some of the songs. And I really have a love for Terrence Howard too!

• On the Line (2001)–A shy advertising employee meets his dream girl on the El train, but doesn’t remember to get her phone number, resulting in an all-out search for the mystery girl. Starring Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Emmanuelle Chriqui. Who wouldn’t see a movie with multiple members of ‘NSYNC?!? Lance Bass was always my favorite but I love them all and one of my favorite parts is actually during the credits with Justin Timberlake! But now JT needs to start making more music!!

Are there any movies that you like that you’re too embarrassed to say??

30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #2

Day 2. Least Favorite Film

I have to admit that it’s really hard for me to see a movie that I don’t like. I mean there are definitely some bad movies out there but I can usually tell if a movie is going to be bad, yet entertaining and then I can’t be disappointed when it turns out to be the case. Some of the worst movies are the best ones to watch when you need a good pick-me-up. I guess there have been a handful of movies that I didn’t like at all–even a few that I had to walk out of the theater for. Here are a few that I just don’t like.

• The Tree of Life (2011)–The story of a family in Waco Texas in 1956. The eldest son witnesses the loss of innocence and struggles with his parents conflicting philosophies. Terrence Malick writes and directs while Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain star. Besides the fact that there are beyond stunning scenes to look at in the movie, the above log line for the movie is complete bullshit. There was no plot in this movie and it made no sense. There was a whole 30 minutes of footage that showed how the Earth was formed. This was totally not worth my time.

• Gigli (2003)–The violent story about how a criminal lesbian, a tough-guy hit-man with a heart of gold, and a retarded man came to be best friends through a hostage. This Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez flop doesn’t need anymore explanation. By far the worst movie ever made.

• The Bounty Hunter (2010)–A bounty hunter learns that his next target is his ex-wife, a reporter working on a murder cover-up. Soon after their reunion, the always-at-odds duo find themselves on a run-for-their-lives adventure. I usually like the cheesy Jennifer Aniston rom-coms but this one is just riddled with ridiculousness.

• Joe Dirt (2001)–David Spade stars as Joe Dirt, an idiot who works as an oil weller who is on the search for his parents who abandoned him when he was a baby at the grand canyon. Yes it is as stupid as it sounds.

• Sleeping Beauty (2011)–A haunting portrait of Lucy, a young university student drawn into a mysterious hidden world of unspoken desires. Although Emily Browning shows her talent as an actress, I don’t think I’ve ever been more disturbed in a movie. I guess I assumed it was a live action of the beloved Disney fairytale and boy was I wrong. The things that happen in this movie were so graphic and violent that it just made me feel so uncomfortable.

Are there any movies that you dislike??
