My Cinema Preferences

Tell us about your favorite movie and why you like it.

I do not have ONE favorite movie, as I enjoy movies from all sorts of genres. Currently though, the movie About Time is one I have just recently seen and haven't been able to stop thinking about. About Time is about a man who learns that he can travel back in time and change how he acts in certain situations and how to try to help change certain outcomes that may not be how he wanted things to go. I love this movie because it had so many thoughtful moments throughout it. Moments that made you bawl and moments that made you laugh incredibly hard. It was a great feel-good movie, and I would say an excellent date movie as well.  

Tell us about the kinds of movies you don't care for usually.

 Usually I do not care for western movies. I have a hard time getting into them, and it is difficult for me to stay interested. Besides western, however, I love to watch just about every kind of movie. I am not picky. It just depends on who I am with and what we are in the mood to watch!


Tell us about how often and where you watch movies.

I watch movies very very often. I would say at least once every two days if I have time. Netflix has become my best friend at my house, as it gives me an unlimited supply. (I don't even know how I managed when all I had was a VHS in my bedroom! No DVD player and no laptop! I can't even imagine!) I love watching movies in my bedroom, because my bed is VERY comfortable (memory foam!) and I have a nice TV and bluray player that I had saved up for over the past couple years. I spend 90% of my free time in my bedroom, because with Pandora, Netflix, and my collection of movies in my closet, I really have no reason to leave. (All I need now is a mini-fridge!)

If my life story was made into a movie...

I would probably be a very lame drama or comedy. Probably both. Except, instead of real drama such as, "I am sorry...but she has cancer. She only has 3 months to live." It would be more like, "We are sorry. But we are out of chocolate. And pizza." Also, it would probably be a little bit of a fantasy movie. Ya know, with mythical creatures. Such as unicorns and boyfriends.

No, haha, in all seriousness, I believe my life would be an incredibly boring movie to watch. Living it is boring enough; I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through it with me. :P
