I'm “that girl” who endlessly speaks in movie quotes, falls in love with fictional characters time and time again, internally scores music to my everyday life and will talk your ear off about symbolism, characterization and irony in films. Let's just say movies and I have a beautiful, lifelong love story. Movies are undoubtedly an art form, an escape, a language. A language that is constantly saying “Get up. Go. Explore.

Are you there God? It's me, Molly. THANK YOU THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES THANK YOU FOR THE RETURN OF MY ONE TRUE LOVE, THE JONAS BROTHERS. I have been impatiently waiting for this glorious day since they parted ways to pursue various individual endeavors about three years ago. Kevin's reality show on E!, Joe's solo album and tour, Nick's lead role on Broadway; all talented and fully functional humans separately, but when these three brown-haired beauties are together -- my life, the music industry and the world is a much better place. A magical place filled with lighthearted and upbeat pop songs, studmuffins wearing skinny jeans and sweet harmonies that can only be achieved by blood relation and angels....
