Personal statement:
I have turned from a basic movie person into a semi critical movie lover. I try to steer away from the popular trend and look for movies that create something new. Still new at my own ability to understand movies, I try my best to analyze movies more deeply than I have previously. I live in the arm pit of cinema, so the extent of my movie going is netflix, and a shitty little 5 theater complex that gets the block busters. I am catching up on older highly regarded films, and browsing into newer wroks with the help of the filmspotting podcast and reading the reviews of other experts online. The most recent movies I have watched and loved include: The Maltese Falcon, A Clockwork Orange, and The Motorcycle diaries. My personal favoirte movies of all time are: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Great Escape, The Big Lebowski, The Deer Hunter...
