CollectionsAbout me
L.A. county lady and lover of films, comics and books.Occupation: student
About my collections
My favorite film genres are horror, documentary, mafia, western, vampire and black comedy. I just recently got into westerns, so I haven't seen many yet. I detest Guy Ritchie-style British gangster movies, and I have no idea why..I just do. I also mostly hate English period piece films. I think this is because my parents forced me to see these in the theater with them as a child.I own DVDs from both the U.S. and the U.K., and I've tried to indicate if a DVD is from region 2 where possible.
My music taste is pretty varied but my favorite genres are: classic rock, oldschool house, electronic, trip hop, shoegaze, darkwave, goth, alternative rock, and indie. I also like hip-hop, rap, reggae and oldschool country. The only genres I can think of that I really hate are smooth jazz and contemporary christian.
I've included both physical CDs and iTunes albums in my music collection.
EDIT: I've recently started collecting graphic novels and trade paperbacks as well as as comic books..mostly Batman-related. The trades and novels are in my book collection.

There Will Be Blood review
Posted : 16 years, 6 months ago on 22 May 2008 09:28
(A review of There Will Be Blood)This is a fantastic film. Wonderful imagery, characterisation and film score. Daniel Day-Lewis did an amazing job. The film score is especially stellar, and really captures the action of the film. Everybody who likes quality dramas should see this.

Watership Down review
Posted : 17 years, 1 month ago on 14 October 2007 11:10
(A review of Watership Down)I thought this was just okay, but this opinion is colored by having read the book first, which I felt was far superior. I think this film might be more enjoyable if you have not read the book (and are not planning to).

Tarnation review
Posted : 17 years, 1 month ago on 12 October 2007 03:08
(A review of Tarnation)I originally saw this because it had received so many rave reviews when it came out in theaters and on video, but honestly this has to be the most pretentious documentary I've probably ever seen.

Sphere (1998) review
Posted : 17 years, 1 month ago on 12 October 2007 01:49
(A review of Sphere (1998))If you've read the book, don't even bother watching the movie. I read the book first and saw the movie afterward and I was extremely disappointed by this adaptation.

(A review of Irreversible (2002))This is an excellent film with great cinematography, acting and storytelling technique. However, think before watching this if you find especially graphic scenes in films disturbing. I don't want to give too much away, but there are at least two particular acts of brutality against both men and women. I personally feel the prolonged acts of violence are essential to the emotion of the story, but certainly its not worth it for everyone.

slight correction
Posted : 17 years, 1 month ago on 8 October 2007 06:00
(A review of Bachelor No. 2)This track listing is slightly off. 12 should be "Save Me" and 15 is "Save Me", but it's the video. :)
