Introduction

'Ello there, internet.
As you can already tell, I love  live film. When I can't sleep, I go through all the winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture in my head. If something funny happens at school, my immediate thought is How can I fit that in a screenplay? A week isn't complete without reading one of Roger Ebert's reviews.
Consider this blog to be my way of keeping myself sane by spilling out all of my cinema feelings. Expect reviews, thoughts on my favorite films, effusion of adoration over filmmakers and actors.
