Top Ten Favorite Movies & TV Shows
  • I'm not one to watch a lot of movies and TV shows. I mean of course, I watch some, but I'm not one of you guys who know a lot of shows and marathons movies so this should be a short list.

 ....I just noticed that I like chick[-ish] flicks... I never counted myself as one of those people who loves chick flicks. Oh well. You must've noticed how there's only one novel-movie adaptation. I'd put Beautiful Creatures right there, but It's Kind of A Funny Story > Beautiful Creatures. The love I have for this novel and movie is something irrevocable.
