| What is the main focus of your site? | Semi-academic yet not-wholly-serious film criticism accessible to the casual reader. In reviewing films I tend to avoid subjective evaluations of acting and the like and tend to hone in on the empirical use/misuse of narrative techniques and cinematic style. The Reflections segment features more theoretically intense essays on a variety of areas like auteurism, mise-en-scene, psychoanalysis, and genre studies (I have written two lengthy historical analyses of the zombie and superhero genres, for instance). |
| What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog? | Firstly, as a platform for my own writing, to begin to build up my online profile with an aim of getting into freelancing. Secondly, having a website and the constant deadlines that come with weekly releases is a stimulating motivator. |
| Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students? | I would prefer an interactive audience, definitely. I don’t profess to know everything and act very suspicious around people who do. |
| How long has this site been active for, and how frequently do you post updates to your site? (Note: sites must be active for at least three months for entry to the LAMB.) | Started in July of 2012, and I try to update it a few times each week — time and other commitments permitting. |
| Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more). | Off the top of my head: Heat, Dawn of the Dead (the original), and Grizzly Man. |
| Name a movie you hate!! | The latest adaptation of Great Expectations was the worst two hours I can remember enduring in a cinema. And I went to see Gnomeo and Juliet alone in a screening packed with kids who were laughing at me. Yeah, it’s THAT bad. |
| How did hear about the LAMB? If it was a LAMB, do you recall which one? | Someone retweeted a tweet of yours. |
| Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above. (optional) |
