What is your favorite movie?

Sophomore Leanna Atkins quickly answered that her favorite movie is The Family Stone. “I love the fact that it’s a Christmas movie," she explained. The Psychology major enjoys the dysfunctional family aspect of the film as well. “It reminds me of my family,” she laughed. While the film is set in a New England town, Atkins family lives in her hometown, Ellicott City, Maryland. She said overall she enjoys the 2005 flick because it’s “a wholesome movie.”

The question was not as easy for Burlington, West Virginia native, Cathryn Clark. A long list of favorites left the Frostburg junior unable to pick just one. “I can give you a genre though,” she laughed. She continued to say that all of her favorite movies fall into either two genres, “horror and action flicks.” Despite her inability to choose just one movie, the Elementary Education major said that a more recent movie she liked was 2009’s Orphan. “I have so many different ones,” she exclaimed.

Frederick, Maryland native, Kristen Uphold enjoys horror movies as well. “My favorite movie is Paranormal Activity 2,” she stated stressing the “2”. She admits that she “didn't like the first one,” but actually liked the continuation into the second film much more. The junior and Elementary Education major attributes the improvement to the use of “scarier effects”.
