Avoiding the collision
I am drawn to indie movies that portray the pain and joy of intimate relationships, especially tragic and or complicated ones. Is it just voyeurism, or perhaps something more? When one feels empty inside, they search for something to make them feel better. When I watch a good movie, I forget about my painfully ordinary life and immerse myself into the adrenaline-generating alternate world on the flickering screen. My own life has become incredibly complicated resembling the oh-so-typical lead character that alternates between chasing fantasy and attempting to maintain a seemingly normal life. In most cases, a life-changing event slaps the character back to reality in a painful and dramatic fashion. Can I beat the odds? Can I maneuver my way back to the slow lane before the collision?

What are the titles of some of your favorite movies?
I love watching deep, tragic movies. For some reason, getting a good cry out of such movies make me feel so good. Sadistic much?
American Beauty, A Good Heart, Pulp Fiction, Fargo, No Country for Old Men, LIE to name a few. I enjoy watching unusual films about unusual people and unusual relationships. I never cry though :-) I also like the TV show Breaking Bad and an old one called Northern Exposure.
