Once there was a girl...
I'm a lady who loves Earl Grey tea, skeletons, and stilettos. Also slightly obsessed with tentacles. Wrap your mind around that.

Recent work by Marco Mazzoni.
The other night I was asked what my favorite movies were… My first response was Austin Powers and I think my companion nearly keeled over and died to think that was the my number one movie of all time.
In my defense that film has some serious family history so it was the first thing that popped into my head and really has to be included on my short list.
So after giving it some thought, I’ve compiled a more complete selection of my favorite films:
This film was released and it’s soundtrack was our sole playlist when my family moved to Pennsylvania and renovated our home there. I hosted Austin Powers style parties in our circa 1960 basement lounge which included a built in bar, rainbow colored floor tiles, and the pièce de résistance was the built in seating banquette complete with mirror ball glass around the basement support beams.
This film is my litmus test. As an anthropology major I am enthralled at the look at human culture all over the world. I watch it quite regularly, and I use it to gauge a person’s personality, you don’t have to ‘get it’ or even like it, but I’m interested to hear the reactions to it.
One of the only war films I can watch. I have developed anxiety attacks witnessing violence in movies so I’m hard pressed to sit though any battle scenes, but this game of cat and mouse between two snipers is so thrilling I can’t help but love it. Plus there’s a love story. Blech. I’m such. a. girl.
This movie inspired many afternoons of adventure seeking as a kid and made me wish I could invent gadgets like Data. I may or may not wear a leather bracelet as an adult that says ‘Goonies never say die’.
Some of my guilty pleasure films include girly love stories, hilarious comedies, and my favorite genre of action films with car chase scenes…
Friday, Next Friday, Friday After Next
All of Wes Anderson’s films (my favorite being The Life Aquatic)
It’s a quirky collection of movies, but I think that suits me just fine…

The Kill Bill series: even though I’m not a huge fan of gore + gratuitous language, these are perfection to me.
Pan’s Labyrinth: Guillermo del Toro’s finest, and he’s genius.
28 Days Later: a zombie masterpiece.
