Bio: Tara has her masters in journalism from NYU and was a former features reporter at a daily CT newspaper and a reviewer at DVDFanatic. Her passion is movies, thanks to her dad who brought her to see a new movie every Monday and for ignoring R ratings even when she was only five, which later led to a detention in elementary school for saying “Yippee-ki-yay, motherf #%#er” to her gym teacher because he reminded her of Bruce Willis’ Die Hard character. Her movie claim to fame is auditioning for the little girl in Three Men and a Little Lady, dancing with Robert Downey Jr. and for seeing every movie on the AFI 100 list. Tara lives in Los Angeles and writes almost daily on her site When Tara Met Blog (www.tarametblog.com); oh and she still has a thing for Bruce Willis.

Junebug

Release Date: January 17, 2006
Junebug is an independent film and a charming human drama / character expose, which did well with critics since its release in theaters last summer. The story although well acted and with revealing moments is exactly like the lives it’s showcasing, average, but its simplicity is what helps to make it [...]
