What is your favorite movie genre? (Horror, action, romance, comedy, etc) - I really LOVE sci-fi and fantasy, also action, thriller and mystery.
Who is your favorite actor/actress? - Harrison Ford, Robert Downey Jr, Al Pacino, Jack Black, Robert Redford, Chris Pratt, Cate Blanchett, Mary Steenburgen, Jennifer Lawrence, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis
Who is your least favorite actor/actress? I LOATHE Jim Carrey - really that's about all. I can tolerate most of the others who may annoy me.
Who is your favorite director? Alfred Hitchcock, Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg
Who is your least favorite director? I agree with Rosie, M. Night Shyamalan has let me down too many times. I loved Sixth Sense and enjoyed Signs, but nothing else
What is your favorite movie? (or the top 5, I know it's a difficult question!) - Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Casablanca, Terminator 2, Strangers on A Train, and To Kill a Mockingbird
What is your least favorite movie? - Again - anything with Jim Carrey in it, really gory horror, or things like the Saw series that are psychological horror. Nightmares from that!
Do you have a guilty pleasure movie? (that is one you really shouldn't like but do) - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Ishtar, Starship Troopers, Big Trouble in Little China, Mars Attacks, Titanic
What is your favorite way to watch a movie? (Theater, cable, rental, streaming, etc?) - I prefer a theater - Roger Ebert once said, "What better place to think dark thoughts than in a dark room with strangers." But I will watch anything anywhere! I have even sat and watched on my phone while I waited on someone in a parking lot!
What is your favorite movie series? Tie between Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and all the Marvel Universe movies.
Is there one type of movie you refuse to watch? I will not watch those really gory bloody movies. My husband watched Hostel 2 once while I was in the room and I was very grossed out. For someone who has probably seen every zombie related movie there is, I just can't stand the really gross stuff. (TWD is NOTHING compared to some that my husband subjected me to!)
Do you care about awards shows? I haven't cared since The Color Purple was snubbed in 1986. I have never forgiven them for that.
Is there a movie critic or webpage that you trust for reviews? I grew up watching At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert, I still follow Ebert's webpage which is lovely wife, Chaz, has taken over. As inaccurate as IMDB can be, I do rely on it for a lot of information. (They really need someone to moderate their boards more proactively.)
What is your favorite movie snack? Must have popcorn! I can't watch a movie without it.
Do you have a movie buddy you enjoy having with you when you watch movies? My BFFs Denise and Michelle in Atlanta, and my 3 sons are awesome movie buddies! I was amazed that my little guys made it through 3 hours of the Desolation of Smaug without even a trip to the restroom. (They were 7 at the time.)
Anything else we need to know about your movie life? My mother was a movie junkie as a teenager during WW2. She lived 2 blocks away from the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta then and frequently snuck out of the house to go to the movies. Every time we moved, the first call she made was to get cable hooked up and all the pay movie channels. My brothers and I grew up watching movies together - and we're still very close. I majored in drama in college and met wonderful actors over the years, so I'm always only a couple of degrees of separation away from everything really interesting. I'm currently working toward moving back to the Atlanta area so I can get a job in the film industry - hopefully in the accounting/payroll department. (Even though I will have to sign an NDA!)
