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!

    WOW! I didn't get any of them. 1-I couldn't remember the names, I saw both of them, but only remember the Illusionist...seen that a couple of times. I looked up The Prestige and once I saw that Hugh Jackman was in it, I knew that I had seen it, but only once. 2- I like Alec Baldwin, but didn't see the Shadow, that I can remember. 3-I don't even recognize John Ford's name. 4-Loved Gary Oldman in all of the Harry Potter films, he is the guy you loved to hate, but didn't remember him from Lost in Space and I don't think that I saw The Scarlet Letter. 5-I saw Halloween II, but could not tell you when it came out. 6-We love Dennis Quaid and once I read the answer, I remember seeing him in that role. 7-Never saw the movie, Bean. 8-I thought that I got this one right by saying 4, I didn't remember the last one. 9-I saw Natalie Wood's last movie, but didn't remember the name of it. Only saw it once. 10-I had no idea about the budget for Titanic, but I am sure that it took in a lot more money than it took to make it.....

    John Ford was a director years ago. Made a lot of John Wayne movies. OK. Well, I tried to make it a little tricky.
