Why you should keep reading...

I love movies. I was a total geek in high school and didn't go to many parties until my junior/senior year. I mostly stayed at home on the weekends and watched movies on televison. My favorite movie channels were AMC (American Movie Classics), TBS, Bravo (before it just showed reality t.v., it showed mostly independent & foreign films), FX (which was the Fox movie channel), the USA channel and TNT. My home town, Temecula, also had a couple really good video rental places that actually had some quite obscure movies.
I've also worked for three movie theaters, two multiplexes in the States and a two screen art house cinema in London. I also worked as the video/DVD buyer at a Virgin Megastore back in the 90's. And I have a Bachelor's Degree in Film.
So basically, my movie tastes were influenced by the combination of classics, horror and B-movies on TBS and USA, independent films and made for t.v. movies on FX. Now I live in London and get the amazing Film4 channel, the BBC channels and subscribe to LoveFilm. There's also lots of different cinemas from chains to art houses and second run.
I'll mostly be writing about those types of films, though I do like the random 'big budget main stream Hollywood' movie too.
I am the rarely seen female film geek.
