My Movie Watching Profile

GENDER: Female
FAVORITE GENRE: Horror, Suspense, Drama, Action, and Comedy in that order.
WHEN WATCHING MOVIES I:
Always turn on English Subtitles.-It's amazing how much dialogue you miss just because the actor is speaking too low or background action.
Want to be entertained, and even better if I am moved.
Cry if it's sad or has a really happy ending.
Like to be scared.
Am not afraid of watching a horror flick alone in the dark.
Have a tendency to get confused by overly intricate plots.
Enjoy eating snacks.
ABOUT ME:
I have always loved going to the movies and watching movies at home but I really started getting into even more when I first started living alone. It was a cheap and easy form of home entertainment for me. I joined Blockbuster Online so that I could watch a lot of movies without breaking the bank. This has fueled my joy of movie watching and enabled me to expand my selections to include a lot of independent and foreign films that a lot of people have never heard of instead of just the typical Blockbuster movies.

Leap Year

Starring:  Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott
Romantic Comedy, 2010 (Rated PG)

Amy Adams stars as Anna who is after the perfect apartment and the perfect life with her perfect boyfriend.  Since he hasn't proposed after all this time she decides to take matters into her own hands by following him to Ireland where he is attending a medical conference.  According to an Irish tradition a man can't refuse a proposal from a woman during leap year so she hops on a plane to get her man only to find out it's not nearly as easy or simple as she thought it was going to be. 
  • I love Amy Adams and just about every movie she's done.  She is pert, lively, pretty, and a darn good actress.  As perfect as Anna is in this movie she somehow still manages to come off as down to earth and relatable.
  • Just about everything that can go wrong does on this trip but Ana refuses to give up.
  • Oh, the dilemma's that arise in matters of the heart!  Ana's boyfriend Jeremy (Scott) is as perfect as perfect can get.  It's clear that he loves her but the question remains...is it enough? 
  • There are unwanted and surprising sparks between Anna and Irishmen Declan (Goode) who is quite an unpleasant character who begrudgingly helps her along her travels.  His heavy Irish accent is sometimes hard to understand so my habit of watching movies with subtitles on came in handy.
