An introduction.

Hello.

If you’re reading this this you’ve probably come here with some expectations. If you’re not reading this I don’t know why I’m talking to you. I’ve started this blog for a few reasons but the main one is that I love film…I should clarify that. I watch about 300 films a year and film is a huge part of my life and something that has enriched it no end. Recently I published a list of my top 15 films of 2013 on Twitter and a friend whose opinion I really respect commented that he’d only seen one of my choices and only heard of 3 or 4. Soon after, another friend named Fast Six as the best film of 2013, you may be able to imagine my response. His reply was that I would ‘fucking hate it’ but that he’d really like to read why. I watch films from all manner of genres and all manner of nationalities, from new releases to American independents to Hungarian mini-operas to silent epics. Basically, I watch a wide range and the blog will obviously reflect this. I’m not going to claim for a minute that my opinion is any more important or instructive than anyone else’s, it’s just another voice. So, expect Hollywood, Bollywood and, at times, even Nollywood. Oh, and swearing. Lots and lots of swearing x
