Rodney Twelftree

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.

Just posted my thoughts today Rodney. I was most disappointed not seeing Joaquin Phoenix as Best Actor in HER, and Daniel Bruhl in supporting role for RUSH.

  I agree re Bruhl, I thought he was the leading light in Rush (a great film too, by the way), and I hope to see HER tonight (if the wife will let me). It's funny, I thought I was on track to see most of the Best Picture films, but of the 9 on offer, I've only seen four! I gots me some works to do!!!
