30 Day Film Challenge - Day 24

Day 24 - Your Favorite Animated or Children's Film

I was thinking that they had once again combined two genres into one catagory.  But, they have put that one little word "or" in there.  So, there is no reason to pick 2 movies for this one.  I just have to decide if I like my favorite animated movie more than my favorite children's movie or vice versa. 

Well, the animated movie won...



30 Day Film Challenge - Day 23

Day 23 - Your Favorite Thriller/Mystery Film

Again, like Day 21 - they have combined 2 genres into one catagory.  And, again, I will split it into two movies.  Thrillers and Mysterys are not the same thing so I think they should be treated separately.

Favorite Thriller

Like The Professional, I don't think a lot of people saw this movie.  I think this is one of Kurt Russell's best movies.  Also, it showcases the late J.T. Walsh.  An unbelievable actor that was known more by his face than his name.

Favorite Mystery

If you haven't seen this movie...you should.  Great movie with some great actors.  How many times do you get people like Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Sidney Poitier and Ben Kingsley in the same movie.  Watch.It.Today.  You won't regret it.  :)





30 Day Film Challenge - Day 22

Day 22 - Your Favorite Horror Film

This one was a hard one for me.  I have seen a.l.o.t of horror movies.  Some great...a lot that weren't so great.  I have definite requirements for what makes a good horror movie.  I'm not into all the nudity that many horror film think they need to add, I'm not usually into a lot of gore.  I like a really suspensful movie that you just don't know what's going to happen next, when things jump out and scare the snot out of you.  Paranormal Activity was a really good movie like that.  


I thought about the first horror movie I ever saw - Nightmare on Elm Street - that really freaked me out...but I was only about 12 when I saw that one. 

This movie was the first one in a while that really freaked me out.  They are gory - don't get me wrong (and I don't usually like that) but it also really kept me on the edge of my seat.



30 Day Film Challenge - Day 21

Day 21 - Your Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film

Not really fair on this one.  Sci-Fi and Fantasy are two different things that, unfortunately, often get lumped into the same catagory.  So, because I can do this challenge however I want...((see Day 15))...I have decided to split this into two different catagories and list two different films.

Favorite Sci-Fi

Really...it's a no-brainer.

Favorite Fantasy



30 Day Film Challenge - Day 20

Day 20 - Your Favorite Romantic Film

Anyone that knows me will know that I am not not not a romantic movie type of gal.  I am much more of an action/thriller/horror type of person.  But, that being said...I really loved this movie.  When it came out I was hooked.  The love that the two main characters had was undeniable.  It's rare that there is such chemistry between two people on film.  



30 Day Film Challenge - Day 19

Day 19 - Your Favorite Action Film

Not a lot of people have seen this movie.  I mean, it's not unknown - but it's not a Die Hard or an Independence Day or something like that.

Unbelievable performances...it's not hard to see why Natalie Portman has gone on to have the career that she has.  I'd never heard of Jean Reno before this movie and his performance was understated and perfect.

Day 18 - Your Favorite Comedy Film

Easy Easy Easy one...I didn't even have to think twice about this one.  So funny!
