Author: Bobby James
G'day mate, the name's James, Bobby James and I am a film enthusiast from St. Louis, Missouri.
In 2005 I began studying Acting at St. Louis Community College. It's there I met Dr. Diane Carson, who guided me toward a Film Studies undergraduate degree, which I earned in May 2010 from Webster University (with departmental honors - fancy, eh?). Recently, I received my Master of Arts degree in Communications from Lindenwood University.
Some of my favorite films include: Jurassic Park (1993), Brokeback Mountain (2005), Big Fish (2003), Psycho (1960), The Wizard of Oz (1939), The Color Purple (1985), The Lion King (1994), The Land Before Time (1988), Up (2009), The Artist (2011), Cloud Atlas (2012), and so many more!
