Hello there, it's Thursday Movie Picks's time, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
There was a time when blockbusters were almost all I watched (the others were rom-com. Yes, you can judge me). It's not like that anymore but I still watch some here and there so here some of my favourites.
Independence Day (1996)
As a mysterious alien species attacks the Earth, a group of men devise a plan to fight back. I watched this one for the first time many many years ago with my cousin (she loved the movie and couldn't believe I'd never seen it) and I loved it. Which only led to us watching it a lot of other times. I haven't seen in a long time but I remember it being a lot of fun. You can't beat Will Smith kicked those aliens' butts.
Jaws (1975)
A shark goes on a killing spree on Amity Island and the Chief Police, with the help of a marine biologist and a shark hunter, hunt it down. This movie never appealed me much, but I finally gave it a chance the other day and I loved it. It's easily one of the best thrillers ever. I mean, it's got the right atmosphere, tension, score (not only the iconic theme) and some damn fine acting as well.
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
Apes leader Caesar set on his own quest to avenge his kind and faces the ruthless Colonel responsible for the losses suffered by the apes. This is the perfect ending to the trilogy and probably one of the most emotional and thought-provoking blockbusters ever made. Instead of focusing on the actual war, it focuses on the inner struggles of Caesar and digs deep into his values and morals. And what a wonderful performance from Andy Serkis. It's not your typical blockbuster though.
