| Quote: | 'In a hundred years, who's gonna care?' (The Terminator) |
| I like medieval things (swords, knights, armour, the lot); I'm doing a PhD in Medieval English, I like hairy boys (preferably in bands, too) and I have the best friends in the world. Besides reading, writing and watching movies, my other big passions are music, art and going for long walks - generally, because I live in Ireland, this means walking in the rain... but it could be worse. I love beards and I think that there aren't enough beards in the world. |

1.
Willow
PG
This is probably my all-time favourite movie - I love it for the storyline, for the acting, for the humour, and for the (well, bear in mind I was about 9 when I first saw it) the terrifying scariness of the witch Bavmorda! I love fantasy-themed films and books, and stories about heroes winning out over the odds, and magic, and swordplay, and vaguely medieval-themed movies... it all adds up to perfection, for me. Willow was my childhood hero, and I love him still!
3.
The Princess Bride
PG
'My name is Inigo Montoya.. You killed my father... prepare to die!' This movie gave me highly inappropriate yearnings towards Cary Elwes. I was only about 8 at the time...
4.
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
PG-13
My favourite of the Lord of the Rings movies; they're all amazing, but this one just gets me. I'll never forget the amazement of watching this movie for the first time.
5.
The Goonies
PG
Classic with a capital Class. One of my absolute favourites, 'Hey, you Guys!' brings me right back!
6.
Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)
R
This movie has the funniest sex scene in history, but I love it for the scene where Amelie thinks the man she loves doesn't know she exists, and she turns into a pool of water in despair... beautiful.

The Wool Cap
by scottwilliam h macy will never top his roles in the likes of fargo boogie nights and magnolia but hes found a place in tv movies, door to door,,a slight case of murder,, panic,, and focus being notable aceptions, and heres another, in which he co wrote as a mute, who comes into contact with a homeless girl, and takes her in, trying his best to get a secure home, as always macy is a acting talent, no words but ful of emotion, a story that never rises above tv movie status, but a enjoyable piece

Donkey Punch
by scott3 english girls meet 4 english lads in spain and are taken for a great time on a yaught, but things turn for the worse when one of the girls is killed during a sex act, by one of the guys, a so called donkey punch, now with the girls stuck there with the guys what could go down is any bodys business, will sides be taken, a nice little thriller, putting abunch of people on a boat and watch the results when a little murder is thrown in the mix, sides are imediatly drawn, due to the friendships, and fear strikes in, as to what is the best thing to do, with the body and aftermath, things get very paranoid to say the least, a good set up here, all charactors are well covered, the girls showing range in sexuality and eventual distress, while the lads showing a edge but simpathy, all great performances as well, and considering the location, the story and circumstances come off well, some nice deaths also,

Out of the Blue (Aramoana)
by scotttrue life acount of a rampage by a gunman in a small new zealand town called aramoana, the incident caused around 13 deaths which included 3 children of very young ages, shot to death, the film grittinly tells the lead up and eventual rampage and police hunt amunst the dead of night, the film is straight and to the point, does not give a easy time for the real life charactor who went crazy, and, and the shootings them selves are given reality which is needed, no heros here and no cowardly vivtims for the sake of it, all seems genuin, a simple but inportant aproach to a real and devastating story
a true life tale of a gun rampage in new zealend

How Green Was My Valley
by scottjohn ford the legendery director known more for teaming up with john wayne tackles a hollywood version of welsh life, so a bit unrealistic, but pretty good otherwise, life in a mining town, not a easy life for all concerned, and a look at the valleys, in a time gone by, which is in the past, a setting in a industry, coal mining, which definatly isnt what it used to be a film of its time in both direction, and acting, and welshness coming through, especially the singing and music throughout
a slice of welsh life in a industry almost gone

The Escapist
by scottbrian cox in a exellent role as a old geezer in prison, seeing a possible escape plan coming into place and the guys he needs to get the plan done, a exellent prison film, the structure is great also, going forward in time to actuall escape, back to plan in planning stages, the obstacles inway, and fellow prisoners spoiling plans, brian cox in role that naturally would have gone to a younger man, shines in this, as do others, direction is well handled, and snappy, and a special mention to the score, a great use to move story forward, and in the final act a nice little twist that fits well and makes it more humen
brian cox, in a great british prison flick

Blade Runner
by scottTHE FINAL CUT
not being a fav film of mine, although i find it a interesting film to watch, i was interested in watching ridley scotts latest atempt at getting his vision right, close to the directors cut, voice over still absent from film, which i like. and various tamperings, although not on annoying leve like lucas and starwars, the film has been cleaned up, and looks great, and little tweaks here and there, but still the same old blade runner everyone loves, itll still be debates years to come wether voice over should stay or go, and coming from someone who first saw directors cut, before original, i feel it should stay out, it sounded dull hearing it, and ford sounded bored, aparently he dident like idea of voice over so did a crap job at narrating it, shot before the so called mtv influence took over hollywood, this may seem a bit slow paced for todays audiance, but still holds up pretty well, and watching todays films like minority report, you see the influence, the style and look is great really capturing a 2019 los angeles, really moody looking and uninviting, the future looks bleak, o a sci fi film that actually stands up, doesent age, well maybe a few shots of computers and technology aside, but scott stood his ground and hasent updated look of them here, a good move i think,the final cut, still not the true classic its known as, but a enjoyable sci fi
