About Julia Brown
Julia Brown is a Vancouver native who enjoys reading, writing, long walks on the beach, and attending film screenings on behalf of Guttersniped News at 10 a.m. on weekdays. Her measurements are 36-24ish-36, and yes, she does own a cat. She spent most of her youth hiding out in academia, writing dozens of English papers about the only two topics that really matter: Sex and Death. Following that, she launched her career as a a cubicle-dweller, where she honed her office supply ordering skills to a fine point (double-fine, to those in the know). Most recently, Julia has been enjoying her EI benefits while laying on the couch and watching daytime TV. All of this obviously uniquely qualifies her to be a movie reviewer. If you want to get on her good side, be sure to leave some witty comments in the Comments section.
