Movie game.

So A few weeks ago I came across the Icon Pop Quiz apple app. https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/icon-pop-quiz/id568334356?mt=8

It's a great game in which you are given an icon for a character or movie and from that you guess the movie title or character. You can get hints which cost you money. It's a lot of fun and a great movie trivia game.



One thing that did annoy me about this app is that for the animated t.v. characters, e.g. Homer Simpson or Glenn Quagmire, if you wrote their last or full name it was incorrect you could ONLY write their first name for it to be right. e.g. Glenn NOT Quagmire or Glenn Quagmire.
^The above paragraph has now been fixed and changed on the game. :)

How to have an epic movie experience.

Okay, it has been requested that I do a post on how to have a good movie experience, although there is no right or wrong way to watch a movie there are certain things that make a watching a movie better.

When ever I watch a movie I always have to have the lights off otherwise they reflect off the screen and it annoys me, I also have my tv in front of my window (which the curtains stay closed) because that way even if I choose to open the curtains for what ever reason there's no distracting or annoying shadows/reflections on the t.v. screen.

Also I usually watch movies in bed away from my loud siblings, so I'm used to having tons of pillows and blankets when watching a movie. It's gotten to a point that if I'm watching a movie out in the lounge room or in the shed I have to have a quilt with me. This is especially good for watching Horrors or Thrillers.

Now, whenever I'm watching a movie I always need something to drink and snack on. Usually foods that are unhealthy if you have too much at once.

Then when it comes down to the volume when watching a movie, I usually have it up really loud. I'm notorious for getting told off for the volume being up too high. However when you have a good surround sound, or even if you don't, having the sound up is a given. I get so annoyed at my dad when we're watching a movie and he has the volume on 15 or under because I miss half of everything thats said.

As far as electronics go, they don't. Laptops, iPods, iPads, No, No, No! Just no. There is nothing more annoying for me then trying to watch a movie with someone who is paying more attention to facebook then the movie. You miss out on so much. And then they turn to you at a vital point in the movie and go I don't get it, or who is that, or why's that happening. I understand that sometimes when your watching something and theres a really funny quote that you want to tweet or facebook, but when its something you've never seen before and your face is on the computer screen for 90% of the movie thats not cool.

Also make sure the movie is suitable for all viewers. Theres nothing more uncomfortable than watching If These Walls Could Talk 2 with young children or for teens with parents, and the only thing worse than watching Amusement with someone who's not okay with scary movies is, well, nothing.

I hope this helped and if not then I'm sorry.

A few of these movies, if you are interested in seeing, you will need to purchase from over seas if you are in Australia.
Alright, so a little info about these movies and why I chose them.

IT
I love IT. This is truly an amazing story by Stephen King. I think the actors they chose for the roles are awesome, I can't think of anyone who'd be better to play Pennywise then Tim Curry. By the end of this movie you fall in love with all the characters, yes even Pennywise. I completely adore all the characters; Bill, Richie, Eddie, Ben, Mike, Beverly Stan and even the dreaded Pennwise. However my favourites are Bill because I love his stutter and just his personality in general, Richie because I love the comedian in him and Pennywise because I love how lame he is when he's over elaborating on the punchline of jokes.

Pet Sematary
In Pet Sematary I adore Gage he's so cute and innocent even when he's became evil. I absolutely loved Church (both when he was alive and when he was evil) and Fred. I would have killed for a cat as awesome as Church, even when we was evil. I think Lewis was a complete loon. I mean how long until you learn, I would have buried Church and let that be all and that's only because I'm selfish and want a creepy ass cat  that no one else has anything like. This movie I laughed at a lot, but Rachel's sister really disturbed me and maybe, possible even scared me a little.

Dead Silence
This one I watched a little while ago, but it was amazing! I loved the puppets. They were so creepy, yet so amazing!

Scream
Scream is one of my all time favourites! I love the wacky characters and just in general I love Wes Craven's work. Billy is such a cutie, even as a psycho and Stu? well what can I say he's my loon. Sidney is a kick ass girl, she's a strong one. I hope when it comes to coping with things I can be like her.

Nightmare On Elm Street (the originals!!!) & A Wes Craven's New Nightmare
I had to include A Wes Craven's New Nightmare with the Nightmare On Elm Streets because it is amazing! In my opinion it is the scariest out of all the Freddy Kruger movies. Okay, so quick answer I love the Nightmares and I'm in love with Freddy Kruger. I do need to say that it really annoys me when people say the remake is better that the originals. NO REMAKE IS EVER BETTER! Freddy in the remake wasn't even scary, he wasn't even Freddy! It's never Freddy unless it's Robert Englund! The ONLY thing I liked about the remake was Kyle Gallner.

The Amityville Horror
This movie was amazing! I think Ryan Reynolds did a super job at playing a psycho. The story line was great and I think that one did give me the chills.

The Exorcist
WOW! It is a classic. Personally, I laughed through it, especially when she was going down the stairs backwards and being all possessed and everything. However I laugh in most horrors and I have the sickest sense of humour.

Candyman
I found this movie had a great storyline and an amazing twist to it. I loved it. Nevertheless I still refuse to say Candyman at all in front of a mirror, sorry, but I value my life.

Brainscan
One word to describe this movie? Stunning. Brainscan is so left of centre it could just be called left. I want to marry Trikster he is so cool. I was speechless from the twist in the movie at the end it was just YEOWZA.

Braindead
Braindead, also called Dead Alive is a B movie directed by Peter Jackson, who also directed Lord of Th Rings. It was one of his first movies along with Bad Taste which is also a B movie. Braindead is a comedy horror, however it is sick humor. It is very twisted and sick, but I thought it was cool.

Thir13en Ghosts
Thir13en Ghosts is one of my favourite movies of all time. This is another one starring Matthew Lillard (who you should know from such movies as Scream and Scooby doo) as well as Tony Shalhoub (who you should know as Adrian Monk). This is not like most ghost movies where  it is a haunted house, it is actually quite different and it is those differences that make me love it.

Amusement
This movie is stuffed up. It gave me the chills. I hate the large clown in the girls room. I hate it! It is scary! The main guy in this is a complete nut case and his laugh is guaranteed to stick with you for days after you see it.

Don't Be Afraid of The Dark
This movie gave me the heebie geebies. Now when I'm going to the bathroom at night in the dark I RUN back in my room to the safety of the light, for I fear the little creatures that thrive in the dark.

Well, that is that. I hope this helped people to find horrors, if thats what floats your boat. It sure does float mine. However if horrors aren't you're apple crumble, then maybe you aught to stick to action and comedy.
