BartoIn the words of Zoolander: "Who am I?"
April 2nd 2008 22:09
Yes, from the title of this first blog of mine you can probably guess that if you don't like Zoolander, you might not like my taste in movies. But like Jess, I do have a very eclectic taste.
However, I do have to warn you - my mood before going into a film will have a lot to do with how much I like it. A film's job is to take you into another world and if during the movie I'm still thinking about my awful day at work, then Jumper...I mean that particular film, might not impress me on the whole.
Anyway, I'm going to give you my favourite films of all time...in no particular order because I don't have hours to sit here pondering the merits of each one - this list was difficult enough.
Shaun of the dead
Cloverfield
Death at a Funeral
28 Days Later
Girl, Interrupted
Yes, Zombies are always welcome at my place.
And just because I know you care so much about my opinion on all things film, I'll also list my least favourite of all time...so if you spend money on a film on account of me, I can say I warned you...
Jumper (I just shuddered)
The Return (The only film I started and never finished)
Gladiator (Yep - I went there.)
The Lord of the Rings trilogy (When Frodo was wishing he'd never gotten the ring, so was I)
I admit, I just trashed some very popular films - but at least my unpredictable taste in film might keep you guessing.

I don't know what Gladiator ever did to Barto. Lord of the Rings I can understand, but Gladiator??
I must demand some sort of explanation.
