I got the idea to do a post in which my fellow bloggers ask me questions on whatever topic they choose(as long as it’s nothing offensive) from reading a similar post from the cool dude Diego. So with this post, I hope you all get a better understanding of me and it gives you the opportunity to ask me some interesting posts. So whatever questions, movie related or not that you have, ask away. I promise to answer you all. Ask away people, I have a feeling this post will be fun.

Hey vinnieh, When did you start getting interested in film or film reviewing?

Thanks for commenting Jason. Well from a very young age I always loved cinema. My late grandfather was a big cinema lover and as I got older he introduced me to classic films of old and opened my eyes. As for movie reviewing, this site began as something I had to do for a college project that showed what we were passionate about. And I decided to carry the blog on because it is so much fun.

Great idea Vinnie! Okay. So I know your a supreme movie buff, but naturally I have to include books too so here’s my question: Is there any movie that you’ve loved so much that you had to read the book as well?

Hi Kim. I loved the movie The Railway Children, it always makes me feel like a child again. I saw the movie first and then found the book which was equally as enchanting.

4) What genre do you absolutely hate?

1. Chicken Run always cheers me up.
2. I always loved discussing movies and descriptive writing so I decided to put the two together.
3. I’m quite the opposite, I love to watch movies from when I was younger. If the movie is good, I don’t think it will age.
4.I wouldn’t say I necessarily hate any specific genre, but the spoof genre is something that more often than not rubs me up the wrong way.
5. I think the cinema is the best way to experience movies, but the comfort of home is also enjoyable.
6. I’m not offended at all at the question no worries, I’ll be sure to take part in one of the future installments, it’s all about get the right time.
Thanks for the questions Rob.

Great questions. In my opinion, the 70’s and 90’s have the best movies. In some respects CGI has cheapened it, but with certain films has helped.
