WHAT IS IT YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THE MOVIES?
I love the fact that I can various memories in my life and particularly my childhood to films I saw at the time. When I was growing up both my Papa's were huge fans of films, one comedies and one more war films. Staying with them for weeks during summer holidays allowed me to immerse myself in films. Even now, like songs, watching a film can immediately evoke the feelings I had at that time in my life.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE FILM?
Jaws. In my opinion the finest film ever made. For me it is the perfect film. There is not one second of it I would change.
WHAT'S THE LAST FILM YOU WATCHED AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
At the weekend I watched The Wolf of Wall Street. Superb film. A lot funnier than I expected and very stylish. Di Caprio is just phenomenal in it. Another great Scorsese film in which he manages to make you root for morally reprehensible characters. And once again the music in it is awesome.
HAVE YOU EVER WALKED OUT OF A FILM? IF SO, WHAT WAS IT AND WHY?
I don't think I ever have if I'm honest. Although I didn't see The Happening at the cinema. I'm pretty sure if I'd paid for that I'd have burned the place to the ground.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY FILM, WHO WOULD YOU BE?
James Bond. I have been a massive, borderline obsessive Bond fan since I was about 5 years old. I love the character and would probably saw off both my testicles to be him. Which I imagine would drastically change the character's success with women.
IF YOU COULD RECOMMEND ONE ‘HIDDEN GEM’ FILM THAT PEOPLE PROBABLY OVERLOOKED, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Swingers which was directed by Doug Liman and stars Vince Vaughan and Jon Favreau. Really cool, funny film and I can still watch it time and time again. Also check out one of Liman's later films, Go.
MANY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEIR FAVOURITE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES OF ALL TIME BUT WHO DO YOU CURRENTLY GET EXCITED ABOUT SEEING WHEN THEY HAVE A NEW FILM OUT?
At the moment probably Michael Fassbender. Great actor and a handsome big bastard. Responsible for probably my favourite scene in a film in the past decade which is the bar scene in Inglorious Basterds.
SOME PEOPLE SAY, “THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TO?” – DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS SENTIMENT AND IS IT NECESSARILY A BAD THING?
I certainly agree with it but I don't think it is a bad thing. For me the period of the late 70's is when the film's were truly great. Largely due to the power directors had rather than studios. You had these guy's like Spielberg, Scrosese, Coppolla who were mavericks. With the money involved in Hollywood now you would never get an Apocalypse Now and all the shit that went into making it.
MOST PEOPLE HAVE A GUILTY PLASURE. A FILM YOU SHOULD PROBABLY HATE BUT YOU CANT HELP BUT ENJOY IT. WHATS YOURS?
Cocktail starring Tom Cruise. Love it.
PITCH A FILM IDEA IN 10 WORDS!
Stand up comedian answers film questionnaire, gets part as Bond.
