So now I am seeking jobs, work and commissions from anyone needing my expertise.

Six years of being in colleges and uni have lead me this far. Now to make it worthwhile!

The Matrix, Spirited Away, Pan's Labyrinth, Transformers, Bourne Trilogy
Sports
Formula 1.. except it's now boring. Motorbike racing, except I never catch it when it's on.
Scared Of
I'll go out into a lightning storm.. I'll rescue spiders.. I'll even look at any insect with interest.. but put me in a room with a dog, I will be very tense...
Happiest When
Painting and it's working out really well, writing something and not being able to stop, looking at completely silent surroundings by moonlight, when it's raining, and in total contrast, a mad crazy computer games tournament with loads of friends!
Favourite game
Killer 7, F-Zero GX, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect, Prince of Persia
Hobbies
Writing reviews of things; computer games but mostly films (especially the bad ones). Painting both in digital and traditional medias, as well as writing books.

  • Bit late: Films of 2008

    This is a little late, but Bebo isn't high on my priorities :P

    Lists of my favourite and worst I watched in 2008!
    (note, these aren't necessarily films released in 2008, but films that are new to me!)

    BEST:
    10 - The Last King of Scotland - Gritty, real and terribly immersive with excellent performances
    09 - Good Morning Vietnam - Trust Robin Williams to make the only real, moving Vietnam movie!
    08 - Empire of the Sun - Christian Bale always in good films?? Even as a kid? Spielberg's moving wartime drama
    07 - Grindhouse - I mean What is this?? Amazing because of how bizarre and stylised it all is
    06 - Horton Hears a Who - Cute but with with goodness throughout, an animation that didn't insult my intelligence
    05 - Speed Racer - Similar to Grindhouse, I mean really... WHAT is going on? Incredible, surreal experience
    04 - The Mist - A taut, tightrope of a movie. Shocking and tragic, yet compelling and downright amazing.
    03 - Amelie - An innocent, funny, intelligent film stacked with visuals, cinematography and great writing!
    02 - Dark Knight - If a little long, this film breaks blockbuster rules, dark and unnerving, masterfully executed
    01 - Wall-E - Beeeaauutiful. One of those films that make you forget you are in a cinema. Perfectly paced, wonderful!

    Notables: Bleach the Diamond Dust Rebellion; Quantum of Solace; Hellboy 2 and the Golden Army; City of Lost Children; Cloverfield; Catch me if You Can; Sweeny Todd; Iron Man; The Madness of King George

    WORST:
    10 - Brief Encounter - Ugh, clipped 1940s English accents, utterly wooden people. I am born 60 years too late.
    09 - Hancock - Started with real promise, declined into a mushy Will Smith Hollywood-superhero do-good flick
    08 - Shrek the Third - Tired, dog-eared and lacking in the joke department, even fairytale gags are sorely lacking
    07 - Austin Powers (1) - Again tired, dog-eared jokes that haven't aged at all well. Plus Austin is just annoying...
    06 - Man of the House - Didn't really watch this.. but god Tommy Lee Jones, what are you thinking!?
    05 - Scary Movie - Tired, tired, tired; one funny joke in it whole thing. Why make a spoof of a spoof?
    04 - Domino - This film thinks it's cool; this film swears alot, this film has flashy editing, this film bombs
    03 - Diary of the Dead - Mr Romero... what happened? No substance, no tension, no flare, no thrill...
    02 - The X-Files: I Want to Believe - The franchise is dead
    01 - Alien Vs Predator 2: Requiem - Wait, weren't there meant to be.. you know.. Aliens and Predators in this film!?

    Not-Notables: American Gangster; Into the Blue; Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny; Pokemon the First Movie; Ace Ventura Pet Detective
