"I've loved movies ever since I watched 'Kill Bill Vol. 1' in my friend's basement back in 2005. That was when it all started, and since then I could not see my life without viewing and appreciating movies the way I do. And that's why, although I'm a journalism junior specializing in public relations, my love for film fits into my curriculum with a film studies minor. I regularly review movies on my website, A Place for Reviews (AP4R), and it's here I'll be updating with Lansing Online News!"
