A Resurgence in Motivation! Well more like attempted to correct monumental stupidity.

To be fair to myself at this point it wasn't as though I was not actually properly motivated before. There is a perfectly valid excuse for the gargantuan delay between my first post and my second. Simply put, I lost my details to this site therefore rendering it useless to me as a way to dispense my weekly reviews. As a result I started using a different blogging service with the same principle and even the same title, it was modestly successful for a few weeks if I do say so myself!

However, tragedy does in the way that it so often seems to in my life, through my own sense of negligence. While I was taking a brief leave of absence from the blogging world in order to focus upon my research for my university degree I made a point of filling all my most visited sites on Google Chrome with academic resources. (I'm sure you can all see where this is going) While this benefited me in the long run especially regarding my education, it did mean that when I was free to continue my reviews I could no longer remember what the backup site was...It had completely slipped my mind! How? I'm not sure, all I know is that all the reviews and debates I had posted are now lost to the cyber world. This may seem like an idiotic thing to do but I would like to add at this point that I am a technological simpleton so any pathway open to those with a reasonable command over the internet is firmly shut to me.

So I'm back, to attempt to alleviate my plight I believe I have managed to find the saved documents containing my previous posts and am making the effort to have them posted here as soon as I can. Please ignore the fact that they are horribly out of date :).

Thanks

Let's get started

Hey there one and all! My name is Elliot Cheall-Sharp and I'm a student of Journalism, Film and Media at Cardiff University in Wales. For as long as I can remember I have a general love (some say obsession) with films of any kind, and so i thought to myself the time has finally come in which to do something about it, this came to me for two reasons, one it will look good on my CV ;) and two, I just have far too much time on my hands!

Generally I will be offering honest, non-biased reviews of films that I have seem recently, and I must say that is quite a lot, they won't all necessarily be newly released films...just ones that I see. Every now and then I will deviate from this in some way, shape or form, but we shall deal with that when we come to it.

As I am in the middle of an essay assignment (ergo making this procrastination at its best) I will not be posting my first review for a few days...Until then I leave you with these words:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends" - Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole) Ratatouille (2007)
