| Introduction | It is a bit superfluous to write an "About Me" section for a pseudo-journal, I suppose. Driver's license description: 5'2", brunette (sometimes 'blonde', though), blue-eyed, typical Irish type. |
| Favorite Movies | Pride and Prejudice, The Prestige, A River Runs Through It, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Chronicles of Narnia (Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe), Road to Perdition, Finding Neverland, Meet Joe Black, Little Women, The Cinderella Man, Roman Holiday, Casablanca, Fiddler on the Roof, The Emperor's Club, Casino Royale (new one), The Legend of Bagger Vance, Cast Away, Becoming Jane, Emma (my favorite line-"I think he must have met her doing charity work at a mental institution."), 1968 Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet (my favorite character was always Mercutio; after he is killed, I tend to lose my avid interest and no longer pay such rapt attention), The Secret Garden, Sommersby, Gladiator (don't worry, it is edited), The Emperor's New Groove (I know it is a kid's movie, but it is so sarcastic, it is impossible not to like it) |
| Favorite Music | Soundtrack freak. My favorite composers are Thomas Newman (first and foremost), Harry Gregson-Williams, Rachel Portman, Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, and Dario Marianelli. Random soundtracks that are awesome: Chocolat, The Village (hated the movie with a passion, but the music was good), Atonement, Last of the Mohicans (they missed the subtleties of the book in the movie), and John Barry's work in Dances With Wolves (that movie felt as long as Citizen Kane, and that is loooong; I've never been able to decide if I like it or not. I keep watching it in the hopes I will come to some conclusion). Non-movie composers:Yann Tiersen is the greatest, even if he is French. |
| Favorite Books | Where to begin (really "Where to end?"). Anything by C.S. Lewis. I read the Chronicles of Narnia for the first time in second grade and found my literary 'home' in his work. Tolkien (even if people have turned it into a cliche, more is the pity. In my defense, I liked Tolkien long before it was socially acceptable.) A Tale of Two Cities (I cry every time). All of Jane Austen's works, Shakespeare (Othello, because Iago is just such an incredibly good bad guy.) Jane Eyre, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Count of Monte Cristo (don't base anything on the movie, they butchered the book), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (favorite line "...Now let us draw the curtain of charity over the remainder of this scene."), Nicholas and Alexandra-Robert K. Massie (the fall of the Romanov family), To Kill a Mockingbird, I actually like Great Expectations (I know, dorky, but it is too late to pretend otherwise, by now), Wuthering Heights (they're all head-cases, but it is an interesting book, you have to admit), The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Phantom of the Opera, The Cinderella Man, A River Runs Through It, Cyrano de Bergerac, and the list continues... |
