The Ultimate Halloween Movie!

Ok, so this is one of my all-time favorite Halloween, Christmas, romance, and musical movies of all time!  I’ve watched it every year on Halloween for as long as I can remember.  Not to mention all the memorabilia I have such as tee-shirts, plushies and even an umbrella. 

This is the story of Jack, the king of Halloween.  He has grown tired of the same routine he goes through every year.  He’s tired of scaring people and planning all year for one night of terror.  To him it seems like there has to be more to life.  So he goes on a journey which leads him to Christmas town.  After seeing all the joy you can get from spreading Christmas cheer Jack decides to take Christmas into his own hands.  Will he be able to master the joy and happiness of Christmas or will the inhabitants of Halloween town turn it into a big scary mess?  With this movie's catchy songs and lovable characters you will be coming back to this movie over and over again!

So for this Halloween night, check out Tim Burton’s: A Nightmare Before Christmas.  Have a happy Halloween!

Are there any movies you watch every Halloween?? 

You thought your neighbors were crazy!

The past couple days I’ve been watching some pretty hard core scary movies and have decided to tone it down a notch with one of my favorite cartoon movies ever!  The movie is about an adolescent boy, DJ, who is feeling torn between growing up and staying immature with his best friend Chowder.  DJ’s parents are leaving for the weekend and won’t be back until Halloween night so he gets stuck with the not so nice babysitter who does a bad job of watching anyone.  While playing out in the driveway with Chowder their basketball lands in Mr. Nebbercracker’s yard!  Everyone knows the stories about Mr. Nebbercracker and his haunted house, but they needed to get that ball back!  But when Mr. Nebbercracker gets run to the hospital it seems the house has set its eyes on DJ.  Chowder, DJ, and Jenny, the candy selling prep school girl, have to ban together to get the ball back and find out the mystery behind the living, breathing, Monster House!

So Many Movies So Little Time!

So in the past four day’s I’ve watched five movies!  Considering I have school (with crazy teachers who happen to love homework and tests) and the strange need to keep my room shining clean, that’s sort of impressive!  What did you watch Rose??  Great question :) I hunkered down with some movies I am familiar with: Friday the 13^th (part 1 the original), The Village, Young Frankenstein, and Nightmare Before Christmas.  The last one is The Mist, it was the first time I had watched it and… to be totally honest with you I didn’t finish.  I’m not really into end of the world, doom, gloom, blah, blah, blah kind of movies and that’s all I was really getting from this one.  Once the giant cricket things started attacking I was just done.

It always makes me feel kind of bad when I abandon a movie in the middle, but sometimes you just have to!

The point is, I’m glad that even though I’m super busy right now, I can still sit down and watch a good movie (and sometimes bad!) just to unwind and get ready for the next day and all the surprises it will bring.

In other news: This Thursday I’ll be watching The Hunger Games while simultaneously playing bingo…  Haha, I’m not too sure how it’s going to work out but it sounds like a fun game!  I’ll be sure to let you guys know all the rules and how it went!

Get Ready To Scream!

So it’s October which means scary movie month!  At home scary movies are a year round occurrence; so it only seems natural that Halloween would be our most favorite holiday.  From decorating the house to seeing who has the best costume my family does it all.  There is no such thing as too over the top, the crazier the better! 

So what’s better than watching a scary movie?  Watching a scary movie that talks about other scary movies!  No, no I’m not referring to the Scary Movie series; tonight I’m talking about Scream!

The movie begins with a relatively innocent girl home alone making popcorn, she receives a threatening call and ends up dead.  The whole school is in a panic, police are interviewing everyone to try and find the killer and Sidney Prescott, whose mother was brutally murdered years earlier, is thrown back into the memories she tried so hard to compress.  See the thing is the murderer seems to be after Sidney.  But who is it?  The awkward guy who loves scary movies?  The best friend? The reporter?  Who knows?  During the movie there are so many surprises that by the time it’s all over your heart rate will be threw the roof!

I would totally even recommend this to people who don’t like scary movies because of all the comedy!  That’s right scary and funny all in one!  So why not give it a try?  Tell me what you think of it!!!

Hello Blog world and my fellow movie fanatics

Hey, I’m Rose and I LOVE MOVIES. Horror, action, children’s, comedy and of course the classics.

For quite some time I’ve been wanting to blog… but I didn’t know what to write about but then one day while I was watching a movie it hit me! Why not right about what I love? What I do every day: Watching movies.

There are so many movies I’ve watched that many people around me don’t even know exist and I want that to change, from now on I will right about the movies I watch and give my best attempt at a movie review.  You may be wondering “how on earth does this girl think she’s qualified to write movie reviews?”  Well I’ll tell you:

1.       I read movie reviews (and while preparing to start this blog I researched for hours on writing them!)

2.       I love to write

3.       I LOVE watching movies

4.       And above all I have an opinion.

That’s right folks; I have views on everything just like you do.  If I don’t like something, I’ll tell you, and warn you NOT to watch that certain movie.  But if I do like a movie you will totally be able to tell :)

If all goes as plan I’ll be posting once a week minimum with one movie suggestion per post.

Okay that’s it for now movies lovers, until next time watch on! ;)
