So, I always wanted to do something involving movies.... but, then my life happened and now I am the proud mom of 2 beautiful girls and I am still crazy about movies.
Now, to me, not all movies are created equal. There are my art house favorites (Annie Hall, Flirting with Disaster, Me, Myself, I), there are my film noir faves (Double Indemnity, Gilda, Scarlet Street, Niagara) and then there are my gulity pleasure, shame inducing faves like "Kingdom of the Spiders", "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead" and "Dance Till Dawn".
Movies to me are like scrapbooks in my head... I saw "Pretty Woman" after my first crush and I broke up, thought I was "late" while watching "The Favor" and saw "Dirty Dancing; Havana Nights" alone in a theater a few days before I gave birth to my first daughter.
I even have what I affectionately call my "woobie movie", that movie you watch again and again, and AGAIN and even fall to sleep to. Mine used to be Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" but has been Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mystery" for the last seven.
If only I could have figured out a way in the beginning to parlay that passion for movies into a career with benefits and a 401k... but I digress.
