Movies

Visual storytelling another name for movies is how I escape from the reality of my personal universe. I love traveling throughout the galaxy, saving the world or the damsel in distress. Action without leaving the comfort of my home and sofa with the exception of the occasional trip to the kitchen for snacks. I’ll splurge a little cash to watch a 3D movie that has the potential for extreme special visual effects. I will compromise and watch a drama, love story or horror flick but the examples of my favorite genres are listed below:
