It won't be surprising for anyone to hear that I am a massive fan of Quentin Tarantino, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are in my top 20 favourite films and I don't think I've seen a bad film of his. With that said, what did I think of Django Unchained? It's his best work since Pulp Fiction, even better than I thought it was going to be.
Hi there, thank you for reading my blog and I hope you enjoy reading all my views. Please comment on my posts, I would love to read your thoughts on the films I review.

So it's that time of year again to give my thoughts on the BAFTA nominations released. As usual, my thoughts will be shown in the Will Win, Should Win and Missing sections and I will be discounting the short film nominations. With that out the way, let's dive in.
