About Me

My Photo
I am a short story writer hoping to gain inspiration from the greatest films of all-time. I am also seeking motivation to watch these films, many of which I’ve put off seeing for years. I like to think I have achieved both of these goals, at least to a degree. I’m not a movie critic, though I do let an opinion slip out on occasion. I’m just trying to write where my motivation takes me. I’ll continue with it as long as the desire remains strong. The book I am using for my main guidance is "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." I have the 5th edition, but there are newer editions out there.

FOUR LIONS (2010)


Catching up on some recent 1001 listings
(Film 1 of 12)

Four Lions-I couldn’t figure out what movie this reminded me while I was watching and then it dawned on me that it was This Is Spinal Tap! only featuring terrorists instead of musicians, though I doubt I'm the first to make this observation. Favorite scene: Barry's plan to bomb the mosque. Quite clever and even funnier on a second viewing.
