As I begin this, my first and only blog, I’m listening to the soundtrack from “Frida” for inspiration. I loved that film, especially since it satisfied my key criterion for excellent films, which is that all the elements contained in a film came together and were great: acting, story, art and set design, cinematography and very importantly to me, music. But maybe a little background information is called for before I begin spouting off my opinions (see “About me”).
Why amazing?
If you decide to read my film recommendations for 2007, 2008 and 2009, you’ll notice as I did when going through them all at one sitting how embarrassingly often I used the adjective “amazing” to describe a film that really blew my mind. Well, why not change embarrassment into the title for my blog?
So here we go. This is not going to be a daily blog – I’ll add something when the spirit moves me, usually because of a film I’ve recently seen. Or I might be inspired to muse about films from the past or other film-related stuff.
