Hello. My name is Dawn, I'm 16 and I'm from California. I absolutly love reading fan fictions, expecially those involving Pirates of the Carribean And Secret Window. My favorite thing to do is watch movies (expecially on a rainy day, it's so relaxing.) and my favorite type of movie is comedy. I love having something to laugh at. Although, it is kinda of hard to find a real good comedy sometimes. Becuase there's regular comedy, there's the type that's so stupid it's funny, and then there's just annoyingly stupid comedy. And I hate those. And of course, I have a really odd, and a lot of the time, quite sick sense of humor, so to be perfectly honest, I could watch a horror movie and find it funny. Case in point, Scream. Granted, the first time I saw it I was scared (I was 9 at the time) but after watching it so many times, I can really appreciate the humor in it. Expecially the end, hialrious stuff man! But anyways, enough with the rambling, I'm sure most of you don't really care much anyways. Right, soo...

My Two Cents/Pointless News On The Homefront

I don't know if I'm turning mushing with my aging years or what, but I've noticed lately that I've really come to enjoy movies that are not big time, action excitment, but are just nice. Nothing particularly exciting, but all in all just a nice story. Examples, Finding Neverland, Spanglish, Garden State, A Home At The End Of The World, Walking Across Egypt, etc. All pretty simple movies, but just so very touching. I don't know, maybe all the violence on the news lately and stuff has just finally gotten to me, but they are quite a nice refresher.

I was thinking about the movie Alice in Wonderland, and that is one trippy movie! I mean, going through mirrors, food making you grow bigger and smaller, the white rabbit, that damn cat! All I have to say is I would hate to be watching that movie while drunk or something... actually, that might be quite fun :)

I recently got around to watching some old movies, you know stuff from the 20's, 30's, stuff like that, and I gotta say, they really knew how to make movies back then. They're amazing. I watched It Happened One Night with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, and it's so good. Definitly one of my new favorites.
