I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside.  I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row...for its comedic value of course.  While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills.  I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we'll settle it on the racquetball court.   I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don't waste your first pick on me.  My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging.  I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin.  I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th.   I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.

  • Dark Shadows (Movie Reviews)

    It doesn't take much of an opinion to proclaim that any Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration is weird, strange, and/or peculiarly odd.  The two have a unique sense of style and personality, often crafting films that are visually stimulating and contextually bizarre.  Dark Shadows fits this formula with uncanny precision.

  • First Position (Movie Reviews)

    I won't even pretend to know a thing about dancing - especially that of ballet.  It was just never my thing.  I approached Bess Kargman's festival winner First Position with some major hesitation, seeing as how it is a documentary that follows six youth dancers as they strive to earn awards and scholarships at the Young America Grand Prix.

  • Damsels in Distress (Movie Reviews)

    Telling the story of three slightly superficial college girls that attend a predominately male university and have a mistaken grip on reality, Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress definitely has its moments.  But the story itself lacks much pizzaz or purpose, leaving me unsatisfied and underwhelmed as I left the theater.

  • 'Chronicle' Powers Way to Home Video (News)
