Movies:

anyone who knows me is already aware that i could fill this space with all the films i've seen, loved and hated, so i'll try and keep it brief. the last film that made any real impression on me was GARDEN STATE, i just love everything about it and the soundtrack rocks too. my favourite WOODY ALLEN film is ANNIE HALL (his best film is MANHATTAN and his funniest is either SLEEPER or PLAY IT AGAIN SAM - can't decide between them). One of my favourite directors right now is WES ANDERSON, his films are so perfect right down to the tiniest detail. one film i wish i had made would be MOVERN CALLER, its so beautifully made. the film i have watched the most times is FIGHT CLUB, i no longer watch it once i week, but i used to. the only film to have ever really terrified me would be THE DESCENT, its the closest i ever experienced to a heart attack. if i could recommend only one film for you to watch today it would always be DONNIE DARKO. a film that always makes me cry is DANCER IN THE DARK. a film i never get bored of is ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, mark ruffalo rocks, i film i love to watch over and over is ZOOLANDER "What is this? A centre for ants?" the films im most excited about seeing is THE FOUNTAIN and ZODIAC. the film that is most like my life is HIGH FIDELITY, i was the manager of an indie music shop for 2 years and yes i once did the Jack Black Katrina and The Waves dance in the shop to 'Walking On Sunshine'. the last film i saw was THE PRESTIGE - its fantastic, i loved it so much - Christian Bale is amazing.
