My life revolves around two things - the people I care about and the films I watch.
There are few things more enjoyable than a long and winding chat with a close friend, whether it descends into utter silliness or a raging debate - you can't beat interesting people.
A devout lover of film since my teens, I live to watch and write about films. Highly opinionated on them, but always willing to give anything a view. If you're thinking of a movie right now, there's a good chance I've seen it.

When I'm not out with a friend or watching a movie, I'm probably out for a run. If I'm not in the mood to run, I'll be out walking.

Dublin born and bred, I like to travel, but my heart forever belongs to Manhattan.

Easy-going and always up for a laugh. Lover of puns.

Making big plans for the rest of my life, and filling the interim with lots of writing and smaller projects.

Oh, and catching up on a few movies I've missed over the past 100 years or so.

Picking the right film for the right occasion.
Planning holidays.
Giving strangers directions (lost and confused people seem to home in on me as if by magic)
Making puns.
Kissing. (I have been told this now by enough people to convince me that it is not part of a conspiracy to raise my confidence to a high level before pulling some kind of Punk'd-like prank on me)

I am pretty tall, speak quite quickly and can get very enthusiastic about the simplest things with surprisingly little prompting.

I don't read nearly enough. For formative reasons I'd have to say The Lord of the Rings is my favourite. Currently reading The Great Gatsby, The Secret History and Manhattan Transfer, a little bit of each at a time (though flying through Gatsby).

Too many movies to list. Honestly anything, from 1950s Japanese dramas to 1990s Disney. Favourite film is Network ('76). Best film ever made is Lawrence of Arabia. Recent favourites are Side Effects, To the Wonder, Wreck-It Ralph and Reality. It's not been a good few months for new releases though.

Favourite shows range from The Wire and Breaking Bad to How I Met Your Mother and classic Simpsons. But give me a good mini-series like Band of Brothers or The Singing Detective any day.

I will listen to anything and everything, though right now my iPod is just full of running music. Adore Pink Floyd, everything else comes secondary.

Can eat pretty much anything as long as it's not too spicy.

Something to write with, somewhere to walk to, someone to talk to, my smartphone, Cadbury's chocolate, movies.

Movies, politics, the future, the past.

At the pub having a chat or halfway through a good movie.

Until I get properly chatty, I am actually painfully shy, and terrible at breaking the ice. On the plus side, I get chatty very quickly.

You want to chat a bit or meet up for a drink, a coffee or a walk.

Or if you just want me to recommend a good film you could watch. I'm good at that...
