Minority Report (About You): Broadly speaking my film viewing tastes can fit into two different moods; there are times when I am alert and want something to engage me and give me reason to think or immerse me in some other world, which is usually where my interest in drama kicks in. The other side is when I’m tired or with company and the very notion of thinking gives me a headache, and it’s this point where I usually reach for my collection of action, B-Movie and splatter horror films. In both cases I hold the quality and originality of the script, and the manner it is directed and executed far higher than the abilities of the actors as time and time again have small budget productions proven to be more immersive than their bigger brethren. I also have developed an immense interest in Asian cinema, in particular the genres of ‘Pinky Violence,’ Thai Horror and Adult Animé.

A Man For All Seasons (About You): Well, when it comes to film I tend more for dramas in its sub-genres. I especially enjoy those with existentialist themes. I am also a big fan of relligious films in horror and in drama. I can tolorate comedy and action films, but I can't see myself searching for them. I most of the time take the film for what it is, yet if it tries to be more... let's say I won't be pleased. I enjoy horrors and thrillers as well, especially the plot driven ones focusing on psychology, There is always room for some eccentric works like those of Tim Burton whom I verily enjoy his works.

About You: I have a very indiscriminate taste regarding motion pictures. I can enjoy 3-hour, multimillion dollar epics and 55-minute, no-budget quickies alike. In essence, I do not let "good" taste get in the way of a perfectly entertaining movie. I am a horror fan all the way, and my DVD collection can attest to that. I hope that I can find enough time and cooperation to make a movie of my own, and I am ever awaiting the day for Tim Curry to accept a lead role in a feature-length film again.
