I grew up on a steady diet of war movies, adventure stories and epics and still love every one of them to bits -- Where Eagles Dare, Guns of Navarone, Lawrence of Arabia.
Sidney Lumet, Oliver Stone and David Lean are my cinematic idols. I enjoy constructing hardboiled genre movies and realworld espionage stories.
Captain Phillips is the best adult thriller I've seen for a very long time. Felt utterly real and terrifying in a non hollywood way. Greengrass is back.
