I'm Esperanza Habla, the Indigo Poet of the Moon. I am a writer, blogger, translator, librarian, cat mom, literature lover, unicorn fan, music and Broadway fan.
I have a blog of my writing, called "Letters to the Moon", which can be found here:
http://letrasalaluna.blogspot.com/
For all of my life, I have been a bona fide cinephile.
I only get to the movies a few times a year, you can find me every weekend watching movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming sources.
I have several social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Goodreads. I use my Goodreads profile to set a reading goal every year, as well as to track what I've read.
As much as I love to read, I love to watch movies. I saw several of the Oscar and BAFTA nominated movies this year. The ones I haven't seen yet, I have them on hold at my local library.
To my shock and surprise, I could not find a social media platform like Goodreads for movies. As such I have created this blog, to share and review movies I've seen.
Some of the ground rules I've given myself for this blog:
-I will only write a review for a movie I have seen for the first time
-If a movie was not to my liking, and if I turned it off after thirty minutes time, I will not blog about it
-I will do my best to not share spoilers of the films, for those who want to see it
-I will share where to find the film-Netflix, Amazon, Blu Ray, DVD, etc.
A word on the name of the blog, "Flick Picks"-I decided to give the site this name as what we now call "the movies" used to be called "the flickers." Here's how they got the nickname:
"Arc lamps were bright, but incredibly unsteady....through it all, the projectors needed tending, and even the best attendants found their lamps sputtering and shimmering, and the images on the screen flickering in front of faces. This is what got movies the nickname of 'flickers' or 'flicks.'"
