Me...

Hiya this is my new blog, and to start off I'm gonna say a little about myself. I love music but I don't have one particular style that I only listen to. As a result I don't have a favourite band or artist and most of my favourite songs are ones that I have good memories or associate with people rather than simply liking the song on its own. Saying that I will listen to most music anyway.
My favourite songs are miracle man- Oliver Tree, should have taken acid with you- Neon Indian, Whatever it takes- Convolk, Nightmares- Easy life and many more...
Donnie Darko (2001)

I tend to watch films that are not always new but ones that I get told about or recommended and often become some of my favourites. However I don't watch them that regularly, because I don't want to get bored of a film and no longer enjoy it. Two films I enjoy is Bee movie and Donnie Darko. Bee movie to me is just a classic from my childhood and as a result a film that makes me feel good, which I always think is really important to not always feel sad or scared when I finish a film. Having said that Donnie Darko is my current favourite and I think will be for a very long time, there are so many ways it can be interpreted and leaves the audience wanting to watch it over and over, making not only an amazing story line but leaving an amazing effect on the audience that has lead to so many theories and interpretations and has built such a large community that still continues today despite being released 18 years ago (2001).
