ABOUT ME:

ABOUT ME: I am a lifelong movie lover. So much of one, that my first job ever was as an usher at a movie theater. I was immediately hooked, stayed for 5 years, worked every job and eventually managed. I am still a regular movie theater patron and enjoy watching movies at home. I love to follow the box office totals too. It's always fascinating to me to see how a movie fares. There are so many variables: release date, competition, mood of movie-goers. A sure hit flops at the box office, while a low budget independent film takes off and earns millions. I also love movie trivia and discussions. This is just a place for me to share my thoughts on everything related to the movies (all genres). Please participate; I love feedback of all kinds. Well, off to the movies!

Out of the following movies: Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Superman II, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, The Empire Strikes Back, Toy Story 3 and The Godfather Part II, Terminator 2 WON the poll. The Empire Strikes Back and The Godfather Part II were tied for a close second. Arnold Schwarzennegar's career might be in rough shape now, but not so long ago, he WAS box office gold.
