Introduction To Me

My name is Noelle Jones and I transferred from North Carolina A&T State University. I am a Biochemistry major who wants to work in hair R&D. I would say my taste in movies was largely impacted by my grandmother. I remember watching the Imitation of Life with her (the 1950s) version while also watching Legends of the Fall (she made me close my eyes when there was nudity). She was a crime/ thriller movie fan and so I became one. I also have my older brother and cousins to thank for my taste in movies. They introduced me to the  gangster movies like Scarface (remake with Al Pacino), Goodfellas, and the Godfathers. I think because of them I love any gangster movie and have to see anything with a great deal of violence. As I have gotten older, I have also learned to pay attention to the score of a movie. A great movie can be ruined with a horrible score, so a great movie for me has to also have a great score. I would say I will watch anything directed by Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorcese, or Clint Eastwood. There are probably more directors, but I can’t think of them now. The thing I am most interested in this class is exploring the different ways we will look at movies. Also these movies are probably ones in which I have not seen so I am excited to have my horizons broadened.
