What is the main focus of your site?
The main focus of my blog is classic films made from 1920 to the mid-1960s. I compare movies, write my opinions about movies and actors and try to raise interesting questions about different films (i.e. recasting, movies that seem like remakes but aren’t).

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I am a college student trying to get a journalism degree, and I am also a huge old movie fan. I use my blog to practice writing, get exposure and to share my love and knowledge about film.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I like to inform others about film facts that I know, but I love reader comments and other blogs that tell me new information too. I see blogging as give and take with information.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I have been blogging since last summer, but switched to Word Press in March. I have started blogging at least once a week since I am now on summer break, but it might end up being more.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Since You Went Away, Shadow of a Doubt and The Uninvited.

How did you hear about the LAMB?
I learned about LAMB through a blog post put up by Thrilling Days of Yesteryear

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
Turner Classic Movies is the only channel I watch. I have lists of about 22 actresses and 18 actors that I’m trying to see all of their movies. I have also seen 372 movie musicals and have started a silent movie list which only has about 30 on it, but it is growing.
