“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.

  1. Far too young.

    I was surprised how much I enjoyed 13 Going On 30. To be honest the name doesn't ring any bells but the body of work speaks for itself.

    1. Yeah, I didn't go for Suddenly 30 either. I half-watched Lisa watch Letters To Juliet, and it seemed quite good, but I wouldn't watch it myself.
