movies

I generally lean towards quirky comedies, cartoons and horror movies. Here are some of my all-time favorites:
- "A Walk to Remember" (2002)
Mandy Moore is incredible as Jamie Sullivan in this tear-jerking adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel.
- "Cold Blooded" (1994)
Jason Priestley stars in this black comedy about a once-lowly bet taker who becomes a criminal family's best hitman, falls in love and then tries to go legit for his new love.
- "Groundhog Day" (1993)
A weatherman from Pittsburgh (Bill Murray) is trapped in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and has to live Groundhog's Day there over and over again until he lives the day the right way.
- "Edward Scissorhands" (1990)
A tearjerker/comedy about the eternally unfinished greatest creation of a kind-hearted scientist played by Vincent Price - a childlike man with scissors for hands who finds love in a quirky suburban town. My favorite movie.
- "Lilo & Stitch" (2002)
Perhaps the last great traditionally animated Disney movie, it's about a mischievous alien who crash lands on Earth and finds a family.
- "The Jerk" (1979)
Hilarious story following the misadventures of simple-minded Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) as he journeys from his country home for the first time.

Everclear - Slow Motion Daydream
Everclear - Sparkle & Fade
Fiona Apple - Tidal
Fiona Apple - When the Pawn
Michelle Branch - Broken Bracelet

- Sonic Adventure
Fast action with the world's most famous hedgehog.
- Shenmue
One of the most cinematic games ever.

Beat bad guys senseless without the hassle of a night in the county jail!
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2

A virtual pet game where the pet is a fish/man hybrid that you actually raise and talk to.
