movies...


"Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater"
(Roman Polanksi)

I LOVE watching movies. For about 90-120 minutes you can leave everything behind and lose yourself in another world. Those worlds are sometimes funny, filled with action, somber and sometimes they're animated....

my favorite part? those worlds are not this world I currently exist in.

do I like the world I live in? of course.
do I think it's healthy to live your life through movies? of course not.

But I love having an opportunity to experience something different.

I have a friend, Morgan Grice, from back in Texas. Clear Creek High School. Her most recent job; a film critic for Bloomberg News. Lucky. (She no longer works for them, but luckily continues to blog about the movies she watches-- I kinda blogstalk you Morgan. Haha)

My latest film?

I just watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian last night for the first time. I enjoyed it although it seems that if I start a movie past 10:00 p.m. I'm going to fall asleep at some point. So let me rephrase my previous comment; I enjoyed the parts I saw of it.

Hhhmm... what should I watch today?
