Screenbuzz – Writer and Editor.
Hi there! I’m James Eastope, and I run this film and TV review blog. I’ve always been passionate about watching movies. However, I don’t consider myself a ‘movie expert.’ I believe that with any form of art, everyone sees something different. If you think the Spice Girls Movie is great, then it is great and there’s no need to change your mind. This blog reflects my personal opinions on the films and TV shows that have either impressed me or conversely, left me disappointed.
Why I Started This Blog
Back in 2022, I graduated with a Masters degree in Creative Writing. I chose this subject because I am fascinated with how to tell a great story. I’ve spent my whole life watching movies, you would think that I would know by now how to write one myself. Of course, it’s hard. And sometimes you need to look at the mechanics under the story to figure out how or why things work. Or to put it clearly what are the elements needed to entertain a reader or a viewer. When I watch a movie I have two mindsets: turn off the brain and become submerged in the story or analyse what is or isn’t great and try to articulate why. Its very easy to say, ‘that films sucks’ but explaining why it sucks can be an art-form in itself.
