The Problem is I Don't Watch Enough Movies

The favorite television show was easy. My favorite movies, not so much. I'm not just not as interested in movies as I am TV, because the spans are shorter and often times I feel the good ones are all slightly depressing and therefore do not feel like watching again. I can say a couple of the movies I have just seen and currently enjoy and I suppose I do have a favorite movie, which I can state below.

I am an anime fan, so whenever I think of my favorite movies, my mind goes to Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, my favorite of which is Princess Mononoke. His films did gain traction after Spirited Away earned so many awards, and I think his films are therefore not as unknown as they could be. I can easily say I am a fan of all of his work.

But really, I barely go to the movies. I have long list of television shows I want to watch, and those always come before my desire to watch a Redbox or OnDemand movie, although I will set aside time to watch the cheap actions flicks. The Die Hard trilogy is a good set of fun, and the first Iron Man movie still probably stands my favorite so far of the Avengers flicks.

I did watch The Grey recently, the one staring Liam Neeson. That was a pretty violent movie, especially in the beginning, but all who say it could be like the "Jaws" for wolves do not get the way the movie portrayed the animals. Perhaps it wasn't at all how wolves act in real life, but I can away with respect for them. I actually liked the wolves and the way their relationship with the people moved throughout the film. It was unexpectantly good, but as I mentioned in my first lines, it is one of those emotionally draining movies that you do not want to see twice - at least for a while.

I suppose I am going to stick this under movies, just cause it was one of those long TV miniseries - Dinotopia. It's my guilty pleasure, apparently not as interesting to some of the people I know as I find it, but there are dinosaurs and I enjoy the storyline and its characters. It comes to almost four hours long, so it makes a good movie/mini series to watch on a long car ride.

Considering I have things to get ready to go to, I shall leave it at that. I hope maybe some of that was interesting to you.
