Welcome to my blog! I’m Amanda from New Jersey, currently living in Brooklyn. Some of my favorite things are my dog Pickles, reading, traveling, and visiting new breweries. And of course, I love movies!
My love of movies goes way back. I was a Disney fanatic as a kid (and still am, let’s be honest). I have fond memories of going on movie dates with my dad ever since I was young; in a family with four kids, this was a huge deal! I worked at a Regal Cinemas while in college and took huge advantage of those free movies (and popcorn!). I started getting into the Oscars after that, and set a goal to watch every Best Picture winner. I moved to New York in 2016 and experienced the thrill of seeing locations I know in the movies, and I even started spotting celebrities and movie sets near my apartment and office building!
I started this blog as a fun way to rate the movies I watch. After every movie, I find myself poring over IMDB, falling into rabbit holes of movies the actors have been in, soundtracks, awards – you name it. So why not keep a record for myself?
I am by no means a movie critic, nor am I trained in the making of movies. I am just someone who enjoys movies and writing, and I decided this was a fun way to do both. Thanks for joining me!
