Welcome

Welcome to my film Blog. I am Natasha, a 21 year old British Film, Radio and Television university student and I like going to the cinema and reviewing films but I have never put my reviews online till now. So welcome to my new blog. I also occasionally stand outside film events to meet actors/ actresses I like in those films. This blog will be mostly (spoilry, you are warned) Film reviews with the occasional television show review and anything else to do with film really.  Enjoy
