Well, if you clicked on this page I’m sure you are expecting to find something out about the author of this blog. Well My name is Craig and I’m 36 years old. I have been into movies and video games for a long time and feel I know a healthy amount about both. Thats not saying I’m an expert, but I do seem to know a lot of answers to movie quizzes and celeb gossip!
My favourite genres in movies tend to be horror and thrillers. I had a rather obsessive interest in Hong Kong Action Movies during the nineties, and what I don’t know about Jackie Chan and John Woo really isn’t worth mentioning. Lol. I also put my hand to fiction writing and have written several book length stories. But as I’m a bit of an egomaniac when it comes to my writing, I rarely show anyone my stuff for fear of them picking it to pieces with me left feeling I’m not really any good at it.
My favourite movies include: Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Annie Hall, Terminator 2, Leon and Monsters Inc. I also have a love of Japanese Animation, especially from Hayao Myazaki (Spirited Away, Ponyo).
My favourite actors: Jake Gyllanhaal, Edward Norton, Robert Downey Jr, Ellen Page, Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone and Winona Ryder.
My favourite bands, singers: Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Garbage, Katy Perry, Pink
My favourite (current generation) games: Half-Life 2, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare series, Portal 2, Tomb Raider series, Bioshock, Enslaved, Mass Effect 2 and Vanquish.
My aim when starting this blog, waaaay back in April 2007 was to review every movie I watch, so I can firstly have an archive of my movie opinions, then secondly, share them with the world. I hope someone out there gets something out of reading my reviews, and perhaps discovers a movie they wasn’t previously aware of, or chooses to watch something based on what I had written about it. That would give me great satisfaction, and I would feel that beyond doing these reviews as a hobby, they had made a difference to someone’s viewing habits.
I’ll write more when I can think of anything.
Craig
