Salutations, Dear Readers

Let me start my  blog with a quote; "It's funny how the colours of the real world only seem real when we viddy them on the screen" - Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange.

Nothing could possibly be more true. I don't really know anyone who doesn't love movies. Whether they making you laugh or cry, or terrify you to the bone. I'm sitting here right now trying to find a way to describe to you, dear reader, how the beauty of film makes me feel inside. Truth is, there are no words for that feeling. That feeling of wonder and amazement when you're transported to a different world. A world where anything is possible. Anything.

What I will be writing in this blog will be reviewing and evaluating all the different films I come across, in other words putting my otherwise useless yet vast knowledge of the big screen to a better use than just festering in my grey matter, ranking them with a 5 star system, 5 stars being fantastic and 1 star being........not so fantastic.

The first film I remember watching and really loving was Fantasia (1940) which is the third film in the Disney theatrical animated features canon, Produced by Walt Disney. I was 5 years old and I remember being completely mesmerised by the sights and sounds of the stunning animation. Although, as my mother tells me, she had to skip past a character I apparently called "Jerry the Gobler"..... He must have been quite frightening to me..... even though I have no recollection of this.




Since that first experience, in 1995, I have devoted a lot of time (and a lot of pennies!) to the film industry, and I've never looked back.

Film is a dream, A dream that we all want to be a part of. I know I've seen a great film when I walk out of the cinema and I don't speak....I don't think anything except... wow, how did they do that? No form of art touch us as a whole society like Films do, they touch us deep down into our souls.

Please feel free to add your own reviews and opinions in the comment section of each post, Opinions are an important thing to have and I welcome them with open arms.
