The Buzz Times TWO!
I am so excited to introduce to y’all to my NEW partner in crime for The REEL Box Office Buzz, my good friend, Michelle Bell. For a while now she has been writing her own movie reviews on her blog, Just Jump, but they have been mixed in with all the other fun topics she writes about. I approached her about joining me on The Buzz and she jumped at the chance (pun or no pun intended? You decide!).
Michelle hails from the west side of this great nation and you can read more about her background on the “Who’s Got the Buzz?” Page (linked above). I thought it might be fun to introduce my readers to Michelle by asking her a couple of questions about her interest in all things cinema:
1. What was the first movie you ever saw on the BIG screen and can you describe what that was like (if you remember)?
The first movie I remember seeing was Star Wars. Even at seven years old, I remember being just amazed at this world unfolding before my eyes on the screen (oh and deciding that I was going to marry Han Solo). I was crouched down in the front row, staring up at the screen as this incredible score carried me away. The music is timeless and George Lucas is a genius. I have always felt if someone could make such an amazing series of movies from his imagination then being a dreamer was the best thing in the world to me.
2. What’s your favorite movie of all time and why?
This is a difficult question as it will change any given day. I can safely say the most watched movies are Grease and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I will probably have to say Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard were magic on screen and the story was phenomenal. When I hear the opening chords of “Moon River”, I can clearly see Audrey Hepburn sitting on the fire escape.
3. Do you have a favorite film actor or actress or both?
Actor: Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, John Travolta
Actress: Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet
4. When is your favorite time to go to the theater (i.e. when you are by yourself, on a rainy day, the first night of a release, etc)?
Over the last few years I have found that I absolutely love going to the movies by myself. I can choose when I want to go and what I want to see, plus I can savor my feeling about the movie before someone tells me what they didn’t like. I usually go first thing in the morning on Saturday or Sunday. The theater is quiet and I have big pet peeves of too much noise in the theater.
5. What is it that you are most looking forward to by being a part of this blog?
Sharing my love of the cinema with others. It is really rare that I will go to a movie and absolutely hate it, I usually find something about it to praise. I really hope to share my views and maybe convince someone to give that little movie that the critics are panning a chance. (Such as My Life in Ruins, which is so charming!)
6. Any additional comments (about yourself, the movie industry, the Blog, etc.) that you’d like to add?
I really want to thank you, Lisa, for offering me this opportunity to be your co-hort over here! I can’t wait to BUZZ with you and your followers. I really am a complete cinema “nerd” and am always interested in what the next amazing director/screen writer/producer will come up with to entertain next.
There you have it! Please join me in welcoming Michelle to the Buzz. Leave a comment of encouragement for her below, if you are so inclined or just say a silent prayer for her. Whatever works!
Until next time, see YOU at the movies!
Lisa
