30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #22

Day 22. Movie You Wish You Could Live In

This category was hard because I’ve already used a lot of movies that I would want to live in in other categories. Here are a few others that I would find interesting to live in.

• The Wizard of Oz (1939)–Dorothy Gale is swept away to a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home. Starring Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley. With all the magic and wonderful characters who wouldn’t want to live in the Land of Oz?? Plus I want to live in a world where randomly breaking out into song is a normal occurrence!

• Accepted (2006)–A high school slacker who’s rejected by every school he applies to opts to create his own institution of higher learning, the South Harmon Institute of Technology, on a rundown piece os property near his hometown. Starring Justin Long, Jonah Hill and Blake Lively. This just seems like the most fun college ever!

• Monte Carlo (2011)–Three young women vacationing in Paris find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress. Starring Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, Katie Cassidy and Cory Monteith. Who wouldn’t want to be mistaken for a princess and get to play dress up in some fabulous clothes…and shoes!!

• Star Trek (2009)–The brash James T. Kirk tries to live up to his father’s legacy with Mr. Spock keeping him in check as a vengeful, time-traveling Romulan creates black holes to destroy the Federation one planet at a time. Directed by J.J. Abrams. Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Eric Bana, Karl Urban and Zoe Saldana. I want to hang out in space with these two beautiful guys.

• National Treasure (2004)–A treasure hunter is in hot pursuit of a mythical treasure that has been passed down for centuries, while his employer turned enemy is onto the same path that he’s on. Starring Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha and Jon Voight. I love scavenger hunts! Living a real one could be really awesome!!

What movie do you wish you could live in??

30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #5

Day 5. Favorite Action

I think that action films are some of the most entertaining films ever made. There is never a dull moment–always someone beating someone else up, some sort of chase scene or what not. I mean the plot lines aren’t usually too strong (sometimes they even suck) but with all the action scenes, it doesn’t really matter. These are my favorite movies to see in the theater.

• XXX (2002)–Xander Cage is an extreme sports athlete recruited by the government on a special mission. Starring Vin Diesel. I’m obsessed with this movie…I think I was actually the only girl in the whole theater when I saw this! Haha. So entertaining!

• Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)–Video game adventurer Lara Croft comes to life in a movie where she races against time and villains to recover powerful ancient artifacts. Starring Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight and Iain Glen. I loved the video game when I was little and Angelina Jolie was the spitting image of the girl. She was made to play this role! Yay for badass women!!

• The Italian Job (2003)–After being betrayed and left for dead in Italy, Charlie Croker and his team plan an elaborate gold heist against their former ally. Starring Donald Sutherland, Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Seth Green and Mos Def. Because of this movie, I’ve always wanted to drive a mini cooper like a crazy person!

• Wanted (2008)–A frustrated office worker learns that he is the son of a professional assassin, and that he shares his father’s superhuman killing abilities. Starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman. Ok so Angelina Jolie is the queen of action. SPOILER ALERT! This movie has the best ending ever…when Jolie kills them all and when McAvoy kills Freeman. OMG!

• Taken (2008)–A retired CIA agent travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who was kidnapped on a trip to Paris to be sold into prostitution. Stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen. Liam Neeson is so badass! But I hate watching Maggie Grace run in this movie…she looks stupid!

What are your favorite action movies?
