Mostly because it was referred to by some in the media as a western. My understanding is that the two guys watch sheep for a season--not really cowboys to me. Westerns are a genre that is very…"

- Are you a Netflix employee?
- a) No.
- About Me:
- although movies brought me to this scene, they are only a small part of my life. it seems nowadays i have my fair share of things to do (between a husband, two young boys, and my work).
my favorite genres are horror, psychological thrillers, crime dramas, and anything with dark humor. since i joined this community, i have found my tastes changing gradually and my preferences have broadened. this is a good thing.
i don't do well at listing favorite movies. among the top of the pack would be The Usual Suspects -- for both the obvious reason (excellent story-telling) and the unobvious reason that i am a huge fan of kevin spacey, who IMO steals every scene he is in.

- My husband and I almost never stay up. We never even make it past 10 PM! Yeah, I know - us old folks sure are lame. :) We are going to a little get together, though, so maybe this year we will. Depends on how wild and crazy we can get on a Wednesday night. HA!
