not your standard flick chick

The first film I ever recorded on video was director John Huston's The Maltese Falcon. The first PG film I ever saw was Kramer vs. Kramer starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. I watched Dragonheart with the first man I ever loved in the local mall movie theater. It's these memories and the impressions the pictures themselves leave that make the film experience one of the most inexplicably personal in spite of sometimes being in a large dark room accompanied by strangers. Strangers in the same room seeing the same picture often come away with vastly different perspectives of what they saw once the lights come up. The reason I started this blog is to talk about something which has been a part of my life ever since I could turn on ABC to watch the network premier of Foul Play. Quotes, thoughts, ramblings, that's what this blog will be all about, because, as my father and my brother have said, "I love movies."
