"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
Marissa Flaxbart graduated from the University of Chicago in 2005 with a degree in Cinema and Media Studies. She used to think that she was not the "film major" type. She was wrong. Marissa is an avid writer and obsessive moviegoer, television watcher, and trend observer with a fancy-sounding degree from a prestigious university and a profound love of the internet. And candy. In addition to BC, she writes for Gals' Guide (especially about Chicago), and for her own blogs, Popular Sentiment, Cineplexus, and Sweet Valley Diaries.
