About

I watch a lot of movies…really a lot…not counting also all the TV shows episodes…and a friend suggested that I might write about what I see.
So this is it, ramblings of a cinephile: my very personal views on films and tv shows with the odd top 5 list and favorite quote thrown in the mix.
My love for the silver screen started at a very tender age (3-4 year old) and, despite a traumatic encounter with  a 10-metre-high yelling stepmother (Cinderella) at 3, I kept asking my parents to go to the cinema.
I think that watching “The Empire Strikes Back” back in 1980 (oh boy, that’s a long time ago) sealed my fate as moviegoer.
