Bio: Out of the distant mists of the online paleolithic comes the former film student, lifelong geek, and proudly housekeeping impaired film critic MaryAnn Johanson, who has been reviewing movies online since 1997, carbon-dating has now confirmed. In her wildest dreams, she is the love child of Agent Dana Scully and Xena, Warrior Princess; in her worst nightmares, she is Ugly Betty crossed, in some unholy mad- science experiment, with both of those dorky chicks from Square Pegs. She has a very public crush on Bruce Campbell, and a secret crush on Robert "T-1000" Patrick. She is in full agreement with Indiana Jones that it's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.

Current Obsessions: paying off credit-card debt, fromage d'affinois, fretting about global warming, wondering whether I should breed my parakeets, *Heroes,* *Doctor Who*

My three desert island movies would be: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension -- cuz I still haven't figured out why there's a watermelon there
Raiders of the Lost Ark -- cuz life is always about how it's always snakes
The Princess Bride -- cuz it's always fun stormin' the castle

My three desert island TV series would be (and why):
Doctor Who: old and new series -- cuz there's so much of it, I'd never get bored
Max Headroom: the short-lived ABC-TV sci-fi series, not the talk show -- cuz it's still ahead of its time twenty years after it aired
The Twilight Zone: cuz it's the smartest TV drama ever produced
