The Vow (2012)

Source: impawards.com

Literally anything is possible. Got a seemingly impossible math test? Trying to ask a girl who's out of your league out? Or, maybe even trying to get your wife to, oh I don't know,  fall in love with you after losing her memory in a car accident? The twist: she remembers her life, just the life she had before having met Leo (Channing Tatum). Actually if you didn't know by now, The Vow is based on a book written by Kim and Krickitt Carpenter about their marriage. Allow me to persuade you to watch this movie (again if you've already seen it) with some screenshots- courtesy of Google Images.

Sigh. True love really is a great mystery.

The Exorcist (1973)

Source: impawards.com

An old horror film released way before even my parents were born, (talk about vintage!) The Exorcist in my opinion kind of portrays the mom's love for her daughter through her relentless efforts to get the demon Pazuzu out of her system even if she has to consider exorcism by two priests. That happens after she was suspected for the deaths of a lot of people (like a British film director and a psychiatrist, among others). Karras, one of the priests who attempt to conduct an exorcism on the girl Regan, succeeds as he jumps to his death from her window. This film has been one of my first horror movies ever (I couldn't sleep alone for a whole week after having watched it-I'm not traumatized, I swear) and ever since then, I forced myself to not believe in ghosts, spirits, that kind of thing. But at night time, well...I'm a little bit more open minded.

Apologies for the oddly placed photographs...I don't know how to get them to the proper arrangement I had in mind. But besides that...BIG HERO 6 IS. COMING. THIS. NOVEMBER. I am a big fan of Disney movies, even before the CGI films phenomenon. Yup, even more way back than Tangled, or Brave (I think I should post about those movies too- I don't know, I like cartoons more than I like movies based off books- you get a little less disappointed.), and ever since seeing those teaser trailers with Hiro and Baymax, Big Hero 6 has been on my top 5 films to watch list. The posters above are just four out of the original six (my computer couldn't load the last two) and if I'm not mistaken, this is Disney's first CGI  movie based on Asians. Really really.

Picture this: criminals in San Fransokyo (Tokyo and San Francisco- get it?). Then a group of seven unlikely heroes (Hiro Hamada, Gogo Tomago, Honey Lemon, Wasabi No Ginger, Fredzilla and Baymax) come to the rescue! The Disney film is based on the Marvel comic with the same title and same characters.

A must watch for some awesome Halloween party costume inspiration!

DISCLAIMER

i have just realized that I have not put up sources for all these posters I've been posting along with my posts, well they are NOT mine, I do NOT claim them to be of my own creation (trust me, I'm horrible at photoshop) but I HAVE found them in Google. Credits to Google and their original artists, though.

--UPDATE--
Actually, most of these movie posters, I got from their online Wikipedia pages. Credits to Wikipedia (and to whoever they got those pictures from)

The Notebook (2004)

Ever wonder where in the world you might find someone who loves you enough to write you a letter for each day of the year? Me neither. The Notebook, a novel-turned-movie by Nicholas Sparks and various other producers whose names escape me, captures a lot of hearts. Female hearts, especially. Lead actors Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling have impressive chemistry in all those [heated] romantic parts and it truly proves that even though you go through too much, you never really give up on the ones you love, no matter how impossible the situation may seem.

I found myself in tears after having watched it for the first time, mainly because I was touched by the sheer persistence of Noah to Allie, never giving up. If people were like that to each other now, I wonder if we'll have more problems or more solutions to love? The tears were, are, and will forever be REAL.

Titanic (1997)

                                         

True life love stories are simply the best. Titanic, a real story retold by real life Rose Dawson. April 14, 1912 was the date the cruise liner hit the dreaded iceberg. 1500 were plunged into the ice cold water with nothing more than the provided life jackets and clothes on their backs, 700 were rescued primarily by the lifeboats, and only six were rescued from the ocean. A natural tear-jerker and a love story all in a category of its own, who hasn't seen the Titanic yet? With Jack and Rose being portrayed with just the right actors (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) give the movie just the right amount of swoon and tears! 

The Lorax (2012)

A real tear-jerker for those lover of trees. A truly motivational and inspirational movie derived from a poem from one of the greatest poets in this generation...Dr. Seuss. Everything, the plot, the story, the morals...it's all beautiful. The characters are comical and so is the Once-ler and his family. You truly cannot get too much without giving a little back. It's true, what the Lorax says... "UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
This movie is 9.5 out of 10.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

One of my personal favorites, this film takes place in Halloween Town, a fantasy world filled with every kind of monster that haunts a child's days. Complete with singing vampires, a ghost dog and Santa Claus, who wouldn't want to check this film out?! Jack Skellington goes through existential crisis and tries to take over Christmas Town and ends up [almost] ruining the holiday itself, as foretold by Sally, a rag doll woman created originally by a mad scientist. A bit of humor with a twist, some good old musical numbers and sweet romance. Yep. Sounds convincing enough.

Crimson Tide (1995)

A 90's film set in the midst of war between Russia and America who teams up with Japan. Crimson Tide is a film portraying the conflict between mainly Russia and America. Vladimir Rachdenko threatens nuclear war if either the Russian or American government dares come in his way. The American Forces have to make a decision that can make or break American history as they knew it. How's that for an exciting movie plot?

Dawn of The Planet Of The Apes (2014)

Ah, sci-fi movies! Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is an action-packed film set in America and the Muir Woods ten years after a virus, (ALZ-113 Virus to be exact) is spread through Bright Eyes, the first specimen to be injected with the formula who gives birth to Caesar. Caesar inherits the gene and pretty much the movie gets even better from there. You'll certainly be entertained with all the graphics, the incredible effects and plot. Chimpanzees truly have the upper hand in this movie, with their more advanced intelligence.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

The action-packed film every teenager and kid has been waiting for. This film, a sequel to the original How To Train Your Dragon won't disappoint dragon-lovers and fan girls everywhere. The story continues five years after Hiccup unites the somewhat landlocked vikings and the dragons. This is a great film that teaches the value of family and friendship, and surely Toothless would fly his way into your heart in no time! The friendship between Hiccup, now an adult, and Toothless the Night Fury stands strong during tough times and is really admirable. Truly a thrill to watch for both children and adults.

Monte Carlo (2011)

A romantic comedy film released way back in 2011, Monte Carlo is a must watch for the everyday hopeless romantic. If you love those girl-next-door gets the hot guy movie plots, Selena Gomez, hot French guys or the place Monte Carlo in general, Monte Carlo is an upbeat film worth watching. The movie takes place in three locations: Texas, Paris, and Monte Carlo. It's the all around sneak peek into the life of the rich and famous (sort of) and shows what the limits of love of helping others can do.

What's to come

Hello. This blog right here is about movies, if you haven't read my description yet. Yes, I'll be writing posts about slightly old movies, chick flicks, the occasional horror movie, and those I look forward to seeing. Though some of the movies included in my future plans will be cartoons, this blog hopes to try reach out to both the old and the young, with an array of titles covered. So as a start, welcome. I hope you find the way out. Because there isn't one.
