I thoroughly enjoy watching movies daily and going to the cinemas weekly to watch the latest releases. Furthermore I have an interest of collecting physical media from an array of genres I love to watch.
Reading is another essential hobby i partake in, a good book never fails to amaze me. I look out for thrillers, crime and murder genres as that's what peaks my interest when watching movies.
