Not a movie freak, but I just love good movies



 I love movies. 
Some of my friends have actually thought me an addict, while some have just stared wide eyed at me when I start the movie rambling talk
Some just simply take a chair and sit down to listen to the new movie im gonna gist them, but that’s not what I’m about to do. It’s a long summary and I may still have lots of movies I love and unmentioned but this is my Movie list and I won’t mind watching it over and over again.
I also love movies I could at least learn from
Oops!!!...lest I forget!!...i watched Avengers and Its in my list. I just don’t know where it should be. Should I displace my number one or what?....#scratching head..
Oh goodness, you need to see the Avengers!!!!....it was hotttttttttttttt and I give it a 9/10. Was it the emotion, the acting and the fight!!!!...gosh, the fight was steaming. I was at the edge of my seat and staring at the screen. And I screamed…oh boy!!!...i screamed!!!! And I couldn’t scream enough and I wasn’t high o….neither was I on drugs…I was just happy.
with 
Robert downey(iron man)aka Tony stark
Chris Evans (captain america)
Jeremy runner(hawk eye)aka agent banton
Scarlett johansenn (black widow)aka agent romanoff
mark rufallo (incredible hulk)aka Dr.Bruce Bana...keep smashing
Chris hemsworth(thor of Asgard!...u rock!
LOkI...ummm bad guy...god of mischief...got a good one from the HULK
am i leaving anybody out?
Well, that’s what a blockbuster could do to me.#biggrin# brings out the playful side of me and you’ll be like,….What?! is this the same girl I know….
HULK……smasHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
As for LORD OF THE RINGS….dont worry, you’re not taking the back seat yet. You’re still a classic!

Hunger games” didn’t satisfy my hunger…oops..sorry, but twas aiit..

John carter!!!!!....i need to do more justice to that movie. Watching it once wasn’t just enough for me but it’s Disney now…..so the action was Whoa!!!!...and trust a little humor too”

I guess I just don’t know what number to put the above movies mentioned but I love them
Don’t worry, might keep you guys posted about the most anticipated movies of 2012. A new spidey is showing up and The Hobbit is still for December. May God keep us till then
Here goes my best movies of all time

20. Twin dragon
This movie was very hilarious courtesy Jackie chan. I might not be a devoted fan but I kept laughing at the twin switching and the martial arts. Believe me when I say Jackie’s good!!!...as in…real good with his skills

19.operation condor
Jackie again at his best but I do remember watching this over and over again just to recite lines with my brother and keep laughing. And I tell you I wont mind watching it again




 





18. Thor
Watched this last year and to be sincere with you guys, I was wondering in my mind when I saw the poster…like Who in the world will go to the cinemas and watch this especially when I had the comic one time like that(but didn’t really read it enough to judge..just saw a guy carrying something funny looking on his head and I knew he used a hammer)
But believe me guys when I saw this movie, I learnt something. Humility brings out the best in you.
Thor!!!...keep slamming your hammer down!


17. Real steel
i kept playing back d movie where the kid was doing his stunt till i was caught red handed but that didn’t stop me from loving a clean action packed movie filled with robot boxing
Hugh jackman did not disappoint me big time and what can I say when Steven Spielberg is one of the brains behind this awesome movie

16.STARDUST!!!!!
a movie packed with celebrities and i wasn’t disappointed...
the good thing about it was that i didn’t know where they were coming from and where they were going when i first watched d movie and so i was caught off-guard by the action plus fantasy plus comedy



15.Enchanted(2007)
i keep watching this movie and keep laughing.. don’t know if they got me enchanted too..LOL









14)...tangled(2010)
 with Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore in a duet, couldn't love this animation movie more
it should have earned more than enchanted(didn’t make much of a box office) but i guess as the name says..they probably got tangled up by Enchantments but i loved d effects and the songs.
Someone was wondering why I would go all the way to the cinemas to see this. It’s a cartoon for goodness sake, but I love good cartoons. Please don’t call me an agbaya o(LOL) afterall, it was adults who did the animation and stuff

13)...face off(1998)
"i want his face-oFF!" casto troy says

starring Nicholas cage and Travolta

12)...karate kid 2(1986)
i guess thats what jaden smith was trying to copy in the recent karate kid but it wasn’t just up to.i still love Daniel larusso…its an old movie but I’d prefer it any day any time

 


 




11)....one night with the king(2009)..
Made me see esther's story from a diff perspective

 

10)...The mummy (1999)
i fell in love with brendan fraser and rachel weisz in this movie...2 extremely different people motivated by different things and yet they have d same destination. The adventure was cool for me and the sand effects not excluding the greedy brother..LoL

9).The mummy Returns (2001)

it might not have been necessary to do a PART2 but they made it fit...REINCARNATION???!!!...who would have known!!!..loool

 


8)...Taken(2008)
Liam neeson
"i'll find you...and i'll kill you"
the bad guy snorts"GOODLUCK!"
...."do you remember me...i told you i was going to kill you when i find you"

i dont know if i got it right but just take it as a paraphrase..
they kidnapped this guy’s daughter and he took a bold step of faith and went in search of his daughter. I bet you he brought back that girl, but with a broken arm.
my head sparked and i felt like i was in LIAM's shoes and i was going to get each one of them..i introduced it to my friends and they loved it...twas a great muvie!!!

7)...jingle all the way(1996) a Christmas story courtesy Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Sinbad
"its turbo tiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmeeeeee!!!

 

6)...john Q
"you've gotta do something doc!
i still don’t know why denzel and Kimberly elise didn’t get an Oscar for this!...cant remember if I cried but it touched me real deep!!
 









5)indiana jones...
starring Harrison Ford in all four

4)so many movies competing for this space
 





3)...sound of music(1965)
FAMILY von TRAP.
I love Julie Andrews. That woman is a classic. Governess Maria who later became a Von trap family member. So many songs…eg I am sixteen going on seventeen, favorite things, Do Re Mi, the hills are alive with the sound of music!!! And so much more I still sing till date. For me, it gets a 10/10 

Me singing.."edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me, small and bright, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me....etc"





2)it’s a wonderful life(1946)
Warning!....this movie is in black and white but ohhhhh!!!...how I loved this movie. It teaches so much lesson and its still one of America’s inspirational movies but ignore the old school and watch it.







1)...A walk to remember(2002)
 starring Mandy Moore and Shayne West
this movie made me weep like a baby when i first saw it and especially when i knew it was based on a true life story. I’m not a fan of Nicholas sparks(message in the bottle, notebook, the last song etc) but when I saw it was written on behalf of his sister who was dying and the guy who still loved her enough to marry her, I sobered!
i wasnt myself for days
beautiful acting and real chemistry...wonder why they were not nominated for a big award or something
i think they're bribing those acacdemy award ppl..hmmmph!
lol 
I have so much more, could even reach a hundred but I just wanna curb it to this point cos I wanna see ur own movie likes too….on a count of 10 or more if you have..lets share, laugh, compare and have fun.



NB...Terminator and spiderman3 should be in the list but i guess that explains the number 4 blank space that i left.
i stole some of the posters from Movie reveiews blog(Tlag)***he's my paddy and so i guess i'm allowed. now if you think i love movies, try visiting his blog and you'll see i'm just a quarter of what he watches...

i was also tagged in the elevens game by simply mee and whoa!!!...gosh do i have a dish of questions for meself (talking in a cartoonish voice)

1)What hairstyle are you currently rocking?
ummm lets see, just one of those hairdos...nt a "rocking" stuff..

2)How long did you spend in primary school?
ummm...normal time na...lol

3)What is your naughtiest moment ?

i did so many naughty things as a kid but there was one where i went to take my uncle's morgan hair cream and i licked it. at the first taste, i thought it was sweet and and so i continued doing that without anybody in the house knowing about my secret meal till maybe when it probably finished...LOOL......errrrk right?!!!#covers face#

4)How do you express your anger?
i say my mind when it gets to the peak sometimes or when i feel i should and tell God about it. he understands me better and gives me direction. i hate holding grudges in my heart against anyone and so forgive and move on or let it out.

5)What would you spend your last penny on?
something tangible i hope although i cant think of any now.

6)When was the last time you treated yourself to a niceeeeeee warm food?
that doesnt sound like a bad idea though

7) Who was the last person you said  "I love you " to?
God, i suppose...when i was writing him some sort of poem or ode or something from my mind sha

8) What is your favourite take away dish?
once the food is good sha and it is made in a clean environment, and my stomach is compatible with its exquisite taste...then...

9) How do you eat in public, spoon, knife, fork or hands, loud, quiet, slow, fast etc?
ah!!..in public, its fork, at home its spoon. between fast and slow

10)Do you polish your shoes?
nope...nt really...cleaning it works fr me

11)What are your thoughts on after Life?
well, i believe there is a God and that HE gave us a choice to choose where to spend our eternity even when we cant choose our parents or our environments. and that choice is either Heaven or Hell. God gave me a message one time that i felt a little reluctant to pass around one time like that and when i felt that urge again, i knew i had to do something and that God still loves us so much to remind us about the Second coming of Christ.
sometimes the world may make us doubts and different things happen around us that make us wonder how soon Jesus is coming or how real it is and then i think to myself sometimes that when a man dies, that cant be "just it!'' there's so much more to life than wealth and fame and sex. there's an eternity beyond this earth which once you can get there, there's no coming back. i think of that rich man and lazarus>>(the story Jesus told of eternity and i know that i most definitely dont want to end up in Hell, no matter how much i may war against my flesh daily or fight the good fight of faith.
i want to see Jesus someday!!!
i really do!!! and if it means giving it all ive got, then i guess its  very much worth it
i'm still going to edit this but i dont want to delay the request ive been given
so i give honor to whom honor is due

my story continues....


            Few days after Mirah got released from her life sentence which was a rare case, she went to the grave where he’d been buried and stood over the spot wondering how she had not been able to thank him that day for what he’d done for her.
If she’d give anything back, she’d give her life.

What other thing could compensate for what he had done for her. In the past, she had thought he didn’t love her, the reason why she’d been sentenced to death but he’d been the same one to die for her.
She had broken the rules, disobeyed and taken sides with the enemy and deserved what she got but yet, he loved her enough to make them want to be together. He had said he loved her, even when she didn’t. he had said he would come back for her but here his grave lay and an innocent soul was in it.

Did it have to be this way?

             Her eyes began to pool once more and she dabbed her face with her handkerchief, placing flowers over the grave and letting her hands trace the inscription on the cold stone.
She couldn’t even read and so she stood and watched till the day was beginning to pull the curtains.
Rubbing her face, she was about leaving when she stood petrified. A man had been watching her and he looked so much like the man who had saved her life.
‘’lovely flowers.’’ He greeted. ‘’but why waste them on an empty grave?
Thinking it was a ghost, she froze, unable to say anything or move till he came towards her and touched her. She came back to life again
“its you!’’ she cried and without thinking twice embraced him tightly.
‘’I told you I would come back for you.’’
‘’oh..,oh….’’ Was all she could mutter and let herself bask In his arms of love and comfort. She had forgotten how it was to be loved. And then she remembered whom he was and quickly went on the floor, putting her head to the ground to pay her respect.
“father…, please forgive me.’’ She touched his feet and kissed it.  ‘’I’m sorry’’
He bent low to receive her into his arms again and allowed her to cry, cleansing her soul with her repentant tears and his unbidden mercy.
‘’come into the arms of your father.’’ He whispers and she embraces him again, not wanting to ever let go.
‘’my father, my lover, my savior and my friend.’’ She says without restriction and realizes in truth that he was all she had mentioned and more.
“thank you for loving me.’’ She sobs quietly. ‘’even when I didn’t.’’

He raises her face to look directly into her eyes, the windows to her soul and she can tell that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate her from such love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
From that moment on, she vowed to live her life for her new master. The only one who had volunteered to give his life for her when no one could

Are you doing the same?
Happy belated Easter and happy reading.

God bless
