I am a freelancing film critic for screencrave.com and my University Magazine, "OMG". I am currently living in Cambridge, England, but I go to Staffordshire University, which is in the Northern Part of England. Here are my 5 favorite films: "Goodfellas", "Manhunter", "Dirty Harry", L.A. Confidential" and "The Shawshank Redemption". I am hoping your leave comments after my "First Look" insights, so I can see if you agree or disagree with my opinion, and so I can respond to your opinions and your possible questions you have for me. Many Thanks.
