About Me


I'm 21 and trying to enjoy the summer before I start a Masters in Hollywood Cinema in September. I'm currently studying Film and Television at university as they are my biggest passions in life and I'm hoping by getting myself into all this debt someone out there will give me a job in either field (if any execs are reading this I'm your girl!)So bascially I spend the vast majority of time doing something film or tv related as if I'm not studying it then I'm probably watching it.I am slightly obessed with horror films from Des Cabinets Des Caligari and Nosferatu, to Dawn of the Dead, Evil Dead and yes even Hostel, you have to love it for its crapyness I love video games like Resident Evil 4 as well, anything with zombies in is all good! I love my Nintendo DS too, I have Resident Evil for that too! But the best game is Hotel Dusk, I'm into investigating things like CSI!Like most people I like a good hero especially Superman, the greatest superhero ever if you ask me, hes so innocent and caring but then a total dreamy beef as well - yes I used the words 'dreamy' and 'beef' to describe Superman who also happens to be the perfect (alien) man especially when played by Christopher Reeve or Brandon Routh both beautiful men. Spiderman and Batman are close hero favs too, I know these three are everyones favs but guess what I'm not original, I also love Wonder Woman and I will dress up as her one day for a party or you know a trip into town!

My Interests

Being lazy and watching dvds is my favourite past time of all, or being lazy and playing on my DS or browsing the internet (really selling myself aren't I?). I love painting too and generally being creative from making short films (or at least planning them) to taking photos and customising things. I am also a huge fan of literature from Shakespeare to Douglas Coupland so an all round geek really. I love skateboarding and I have the scar to prove I did it once! Now I like to watch the lovely men do it instead! I also have a huge interest in Shia LaBeouf!I also have a deep interest in discovering what is under Robert Rodriguez's many different hats!

Speed Racer

Just felt I should have a quick say on Speed Racer. It appears to have done pretty poorly at the box office and wrongly so in my opinion. Firstly I reckon its done badly is not because the film is bad...
