Been a bit busy lately and have been neglecting my blog. I thought I would get back into it with a simple post I could throw together quickly. Nearly a month ago Anna from Defiant Success tagged me in her Fifteen Movie Questions Meme. Although I could answer most of the questions without even thinking, a few left me pondering, here goes:
Movie you love with a passion.
Movie you vow to never watch.
I have never vowed not to watch a movie but given my dislike of ABBA and apathy for musicals I think its unlikely that I will ever see Mamma Mia!
Movie that literally left you speechless.
Myrtres: see it and you will understand.
Movie you always recommend.
Fandango: It isn’t the greatest film ever made but like Dazed and Confused it’s a hard film to dislike and no matter what your mood, you feel better after watching it than you did before.
Actor/actress you always watch, no matter how crappy the movie.
Nicholas Cage, and he has made some really crappy movies but I just can’t help myself!
Actor/actress you don’t get the appeal for.
Julia Roberts: Appeal can refer to sex appeal or acting ability, sorry Julia, I just don’t see either.
Actor/actress, living or dead, you’d love to meet.
Clint Eastwood: With a career as both actor and director that spans generations and genres he is the ultimate movie star.
Sexiest actor/actress you’ve seen. (Picture required!)
Dream cast.
Not sure I have one, Mamma Mia (see above) has a pretty impressive cast, it doesn’t want to make me see it. A film where every actor is perfect for the part they play would have to be 12 Angry Men.
Favourite actor pairing.
Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in Some like It Hot.
Favourite movie setting.
Monument Valley: I grew up watching John Ford westerns and was intrigued by the setting, it doesn’t matter that it is hundreds of mile from where the movies were set, it is such an iconic location.
Favourite decade for movies.
Not sure I have one but will say the 70’s it was responsible for many of my favourite movies, it was probably the decade when the modern movie was born and it was also the decade I was born in.
Chick flick or action movie?
Hero, villain or anti-hero?
Black and white or colour?
I love both, if I have to choose I would go Black and White.
Finally, the tagging. Being a little late to the party I know a lot of people have already been tagged, I have tried to avoid them.

Uh-Oh I’ve been tagged! I’ll try and get round to this but hopefully ending a long abstinence from the cinema this week with X Men so that will come first.
And never watch Mamma Mia. It literally gave me a headache.
Interested to hear your thoughts on X Men. Its getting mixed reviews but I realy enjoyed it.
I admire your devotion to Some Like It Hot. It too is one of my faves.

Yikes, two days late to the party…this seems super fun. I’m on it, thanks!
Good call on Green Andy. And yes Custard….sooooooooo sexy is right:) Do yourself a favor and watch The Dreamers; odd and some scenes may irk you, but you’ll thank me later for the Eva Greenness of it all:P
