In Danny's words: "I'm a 19-year-old film fan currently living in Los Angeles and attending USC. Nearly all of my time outside of school is devoted to watching movies and writing about them on my website, Bucket Reviews. On the rare instance that I'm not doing one of those things (or sitting in LA-traffic, for that matter), you'll likely find me watching mindless drivel on television, listening to shock-jock talk-radio, or cursing at a tiny white ball on a golf course. My favorite films include Tonari No Totoro, The Silence of the Lambs, Hoop Dreams, M, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Citizen Kane, and Double Indemnity."
