Hi there everyone (or no one, as is a more probable audience at this stage)
I've decided to start a blog because I need my life to have a wee bit of clarity (I'm not scottish, don't make that assumption. Lets get off to a good start)
I see a lot of films. I go to the cinema at least once a week, but usually more. Its September, and so far I've seen over 30 films at the cinema this year, which even by my maths skills (math if your american, I cater to all audiences) makes it more than once a week. I also watch a lot of new films at home from various rental subscriptions and such over the marvellous thing that is the internet and that television thing. We these included, I've seen over 130 films this year I hadn't seen in December '07.
This has a strange affect on my psyche, as I am rarely ambivilent on the subject of cinema. Many film I absolutely love, many I absolutely hate. In a week, a couple of both many enter my consciousness, and I need... I NEED.... a way of venting this. A good film should be praised on an idyllic mountain top and a bad one should be verbally spat upon.
Thus we have this blog, which at this stage I have no idea how often I will add to it. It will include reviews of new releases, old releases, classics and not-so-classics. Sometimes I will talk about one film, sometimes a group and sometimes a filmmaker or actress or individual or not. I don't know basically. Let's see.
