About

I'm obsessed with films and watch a lot of them. And because I watch such a bizarre and eclectic mix from one day to another, I thought I'd keep a journal of my viewing habits. This is more for my personal records (I've watched too many films where halfway through, I realize I've already seen it).

But along the way, if there are films you'd think I'd like, I'm always up for great recommendations.
