Music and Lyrics (2007) - Marc Lawrence

This film is a boss rom-com. I particularly enjoy the song, and am strongly considering buying the soundtrack.

Love Actually (2003) - Richard Curtis

Possibly the best rom com of all time. I do love a good romantic comedy. By the way, all these films I watched for my exam on Friday (earlier this week), which I've been revising for, so I can probably be watching more films just for fun now.

Chasing Amy (1997) - Kevin Smith

The irony of the title of this film is not lost on me. I took notes on this film, and left them on my desk. My mate came in, saw the title and asked if I was planning a murder. Brilliant film.

Five Day Liverpool Filming Thing

There was a competition to film and edit something original in five days time. I wanted something to do, so I did it. It went well. I tried to be artsy. I don't know if I managed it. But here is the link:

Hello. I am a film link. Click me.

It's my first film that I've finished for a while. I need deadlines. They seem to help me. Watch and enjoy. Or not.

Dead Man Down (2013) - Niels Arden Oplev

I really should watch more films relevant to the exam I have on Friday, but I know I won't. Sadly, action is not one of the chosen genres, but as a thriller love story thing, this film is a doozie, yet I know it will go, sadly, forgotten by the masses, like many Colin Farrell films.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012) - Wes Anderson

Fan-fucking-tastic! Took me a bit to appreciate it, but it's a realistic portrayal of how first loves feel about each other: against the world.

Bottle Rocket (1996) - Wes Anderson

As Wes Anderson's first ever feature film, it is lacking some of the stuff that makes the others so brilliant, but it is good in its own way. It has the tell tale quirks, not as much of the auteurship of the others, but hints at what is to come. A particular shot that shows his style is one where Luke Wilson climbs out of a manhole thing on to the roof, and it's just perfect symmetry. Another is where the two main characters go through Owen Wilson's plan for their life, and it reminds me so much of all his other films where they go through photo books or letters in the same unique style. So yeah, it's still a really awesome movie.
