The questions I received from Amateur Reviews and my answers:
1. Favourite James Bond and film?
Sean Connery is the best all time Bond without question. The best Bond film is 2006's Casino Royale because it completely reinvented the series for the 21st Century.
My favorite soundtrack is Good Will Hunting -- and this is a seriously tough question for me to answer because I love movie soundtracks.
3. If you could cast one leading lady and one leading man who would they be?
Tom Hanks and Keri Russell. Hanks was an instant answer though my leading lady took a little more thought.
4. Which is the film you secretly love, but feel you should hate?
The Wedding Date -- rom com drivel but for some reason I like it.
5. If you had the casting vote at the last Academy Awards, which film would you have win best picture?
This year if I was in the Academy, The Help would have won Best Picture. While I am at it, Demian Bichir would have won Best Actor for A Better Life.
6. Who would you chose to play you in a biopic of your life?
Alicia Silverstone.
7. What is your favourite movie scene of all time?
This is the question I struggled most with and really had to think about. I wanted it to be one that just came to me. This was the first one I thought of and I have decided on: the graveside scene in Steel Magnolias. It always makes me cry no matter how many times I have seen it and it ends in humor.
8. In your opinion, who is the most overrated director ever?
James Cameron. He makes Blockbusters, not amazing movies.
9. Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings?
Harry Potter.
10. If you could only ever watch comedies or action films for the rest of you life which would it be?
Comedies -- without a doubt.
11. What was the last movie that made you cry?
Hope Springs. I cry easy at the movies and that's ok.
