Introduction

So, as well as my love of writing, reading, talking, friendship, complaining, music, sarcasm and time-wasting, I have one other great love, and this second blog of mine is dedicated exclusively to the discussion, review and worship of the Love Of My Life.

Films.

Since being a kid, I have always adored films. My Dad is a big-time movie nerd, and it became obvious pretty early on in my youth that myself (and my brother) would follow in his geeky footsteps. You point to a film and I can probably tell you who starred in it, regardless of whether I've seen it. You ask me how tall an actor/actress is and I can probably answer you. You ask me what else that guy directed, and I'll give you a list. But this ability to memorise cast lists like lyrics isn't all there is to my adoration of films (though if it was a skill I could apply to revision then my life would be considerably easier).

The fact of the matter is that films make me happy. I love stories in any way, shape or form, but film has to be one of the best. Books are amazing in that they allow your own imagination to translate words to images, but films are amazing in that for two hours they allow you to escape your life and live through a character, they show you what that character sees and allow you to go on adventures, the like of which you'll never actually experience.

So this is gonna be it; my blog dedicated to films. Sometimes I'll write a review, sometimes I'll make a pointless list, sometimes I'll go off on a random movie-related tangent, sometimes I'll be on one of my "rare (but fun) rants". So let's see how this goes, shall we?

(As a side note, this blog was inspired by my friend Amy, who has a blog dedicated to her one true love: music. http://music-is-my-refuge.blogspot.com/)
