Film Studies!

So, this is my film studies blog!
I rarely ever watch films which is why Faye has written me a film list with over 50 films on..I will never have my life back!
But, I shall be blogging about all of the new films I watch & faye has lent me Zodiac & Shawshank Redemption which I have kept putting off watching because to be honest, I cannot be bothered to sit down and watch a film so I normally chuck on my favourite film Hairspray (it is amazing) but I need to stop watching it and watch actual films now!!
