Have you ever started to say something and then realised,
“that’s a line from a film!”? Or better still, have you ever said something and
thought, “That should be a line from
a film”? This is something that happens to me all the time. Film and cinema not
only influence me; they inspire me and make me wish I were involved in some way.
Sometimes even the worst pieces of cinematic garbage get my creative juices
flowing and for a brief moment I feel secure in the knowledge that I could have
done it better…
In my mind I have critiqued, written, directed, cast actors,
picked music and even, on occasion, acted, and for a short time this can be
satisfying, but it always leaves me wanting more…and so welcome to my very
first blog!
Here I will be reviewing, critiquing and admiring all things
film. While I love a trip to the cinema I will be looking at the classics too…and
sometimes pushing the definition of the word classic…I have a very eclectic
taste so no genre is barred and I’m always open to suggestions for future
viewing. Inspired by the film Julie &
Julia I’m setting myself a target of at least 1 review a week, and in true High Fidelity style I’ll be throwing in
the occasional top 5 list. My style can lean towards the sarcastic, and
sometimes even caustic, but I do give credit where credit is due and I promise
always to warn you if there is a spoiler coming up. So if this sounds like
something you’d enjoy then please; read on, leave feedback and get involved!
