© 2008 Directors Notes. 
So I was giving my WordPress Dashboard a finally look before bed - don’t pretend you don’t do exactly the same thing - and noticed an incoming link from Podfinder UK for a film and TV podcast special episode which included our own humble Directors Notes! I’m not sure where in the UK host Josephine [...]
I’m sorry about the lateness of this list but if the truth be told I hate writing my top ten. I don’t mind weeding out the films I didn’t like and whittling down the amount of good films to a number resembling ten but it’s the ordering that I detest. Who’s to say that if [...]
Why do I feel the unhealthy, compulsion to spend days obsessing over what 10 out of the 123 films I watched this year (told you I was obsessive!) were my favourites, and why do I have to wait until every day of previous year has passed to ensure I’ve truly seen all the films I’m [...]

I’m quite proud of myself for seeing as many films as I did do last year seeing as I was busy being very large and pregnant for most of it, and trying to sit still in a cinema seat for an hour or so was one of the most uncomfortable things ever! I don’t think [...]
For me, writing a top ten list always starts off as a fun little way of reviewing all the films (or music) I’ve enjoyed throughout the year, but then somehow always evolves into what seems like one of the most important decisions of the year….What films to include? What films to leave out? What order [...]
