About me
I'm a college student at DePaul University, double majoring in English and French (mais mon francais et tres tres mal), as well as minoring in International Politics. I hope to become either an editor or translator - basically I love cultures and novels, and if I can combine those two into a career I'll be one happy camper.
I like film, but I appreciate literature more. I've been viewing less movies lately because college is hectic and books are taking up a lot of my time, as well as poetry. As soon as PT Anderson comes out with another film, though, I'll rediscover my adoration for him and my number of films watched will skyrocket.
Occupation: Student
Relationship status: In a relationship

About my collectionsI try to see a wide variety of film, but as you can see my want to see list is almost to the point of overpowering my seen list. I've barely seen any classics, unforunately, but I'm working on it. I try to see film that is either independent or unique is some way, and I immensely enjoy foreign film, especially French film.
My books tend to be classics, and my rating system is really quite pathetic. I usually end up just giving my books a 5-star rating because I can't decide exactly how to rate them. For example, how can you compare Things Fall Apart to Fahrenheit 451? It's impossible. It's ridiculous. I have to give them both a five, it's like that cliché apples and oranges, etc etc.
As for games, you must know that I really never play video games. Most of my playing time comes from my family members forcing me to experience it, and I really only thoroughly enjoy RPG's and those cute games that are mostly geared towards women (Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon). But I do often have an insane obsession with Pokémon. |

I recommend you watch We Are Wizards
Brad Neely is awesome in this!I saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona and promptly worked on a review. Have a looksee. I know you love Woody, so I'd love some feedback on my review :)
Have a good one.
I recommend you watch La Jetée
this is like twelve monkeys, except this came first and it's just, ah gosh, it's amazingI just caught a screening of Manhattan - the Woody Allen film, that is. Very unique I must say. I've only seen two of Woody's movies, the other being Annie Hall. Seeing as that you seem to like the guy, what are the Woody Allen films you'd most recommend? (I have a full year to myself...need ideas for movie-watching. Lol)
Cheers.
How are things?
Is that a photo of you as your avatar?

Cheers. :-)
My review of Magnolia is complete. Took me a few hours. Enjoy!
My favourite character was probably John C. Reilly as Jim the cop. He was just so interesting.
So how are things over there in the ol' US of A?
I decided to send a friend request. You seem like a person with a head on their shoulders. Really appreciate your support on a few of my reviews :P
Cheers!!
You seem to be really intune with the general 'feelings' and atmosphere a film gives off. It's interesting to read your interpretation of them all.
I literally put my soul and heart into writing it,
as soon as I saw it at the Cinema. Wrote it on Flixster a while ago but thought I'd convert it over.
It takes dedication to write reviews like I do. I've been writing since 2004.
The love story of Smart People is really conventional: they meet, they date, there are problems, then they overcome them and sleep together, then they break up, then he apologises, and everything is fine. Cliched, much?
Disappointing but occasionally funny film.
