About Madison Swift

Lived in South Florida most her life. Doesn't just love movies, lives movies, especially the classics of the 80s. She's seen Back to the Future more times than she'd like to admit. Star Wars, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and horror flicks are her poison. She isn't a "critic" - just a lucky lady who gets to write about films. If she had her way, she'd live at the Magic Kingdom!
