Hello

I'm Catherine, I'm 18 and I live in Liverpool. I'm an aspiring film journalist and this blog is for my rantings about films, whether good or bad, I could rant about films for hours and I started this because my friends and boyfriend were getting bored of me.

When someone asks me my favourite film, I always automatically answer Pulp Fiction because I love Quentin Tarantino and could watch his films for hours. However, I think that my favourite film is actually dependent on the mood I'm in. I've got favourite films within genre's, and I'm generally in the mood for a different genre every day of the week. My favourite romcom is Love Actually (but I only watch that in the build up to Christmas as otherwise it is a sacrilege, the rest of the year I settle for PS I Love You. Even though the book is better. Film is far too Americanised. I digress...). My favourite musical is West Side Story although I've only seen it once and very recently, it is very rare that a musical touches me as much as that one did. I generally just enjoy the lightheartedness of the film and discard it with comedies and Nicholas Sparks films that cheer me up when I'm down. My favourite action film is Kick Ass but I'm only really in the mood for an action film when I think I'm watching too many girly films and want to watch something decent again. My favourite fantasy film is, without a shadow of a doubt, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban- followed by the others in a random order that I will go into in more detail in a post of their own. I'm not sure what genre this fits into, some say romance, some say fantasy, some say teen, but I love all the Twilight films. I am aware that the story has incredibly creepy undertones, I'm aware that the lead female character can appear slightly soulless, but I still love it. I think the story is cute and heartwarming and I think it gives young girls, who it is aimed at, hope about boys. Also the books are far better than the films, as always, but I'm saving a rant about that for my next post.
