I haven't always liked films. In fact, I actively used to dislike films. I have a short attention span, and an obsession with documentaries and all things 'real', so blogging about movies doesn't seem to be a natural fit. However, one thing I dislike more than films, is missing out. When my friends bought a subscription to Cineworld, there was not a chance they were going on weekly trips without me, so here I am. Turns out films aren't that bad after all.
Last year, I saw 40 films from 2016. Because I am me, all of these films were documented and added to my super 'Film 2016' spreadsheet with a rating score next to them. At first, my rating scale was dubious, with some films scoring higher than necessarily true, down the the fact I had had a lovely meal for my tea, but now, 40 films later, my rating system is tweaked and second to none. With the New Year, I intend to not only provide a trusty rating, but also a short blog post to accompany it, for every film I see.
Disclaimer:
- Referring back to my second paragraph, most films I have watched in my entire life are from August 2015 onwards (it all started with Jurassic World... and no, I haven't see any of the other films in the franchise). Maybe throughout the course of the year I will acquaint myself with some classics - I definitely plan on watching Trainspotting before the release of the forthcoming sequel.
- One of my critisms of films is 'It wasn't very realistic'. If I don't like a film, I will whine about this through the entire blogpost. However, as I am fickle, if a film is completely obtuse but I like it, I will not mention how 'true to life' it is at any point during the review (I will absolutely argue that Batman is realistic and the trials and tribulations of Gotham City are just metaphors for our own world after the Christopher Nolan trilogy)
