Site Name: Screen Addict
Categories: Reviews, General, Classic Film
Rating: PG-13

What is the main focus of your site?
All manner of current, classic and cult cinema and the odd bit of moving image art. The rough premise is that I write about basically everything I watch, with the exception of (most) television.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t writing partly for my own ego and to show off my knowledge and get my own opinions and ideas out there, but the biggest motivation was a desire to use the written word to help me remember more about all the films I watch.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I haven’t promoted the site very much, as yet, so I haven’t had much interaction, but there are few things I enjoy more than getting into heated arguments on the internet. 😀

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I started Screen Addict in May 2009 and, with the exception of a couple of slack months when I had way too much work to do for a Masters degree, I usually update at least three or four times a week.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
I usually say I don’t do favourites, but when pressed for an answer, my favourite film is undoubtedly Francois Truffaut’s Les Quatre Cents Coups [The 400 Blows].
