It’s days away from the card-giving consumer fest that is Valentine’s Day, and so here at FilmFile HQ I’m getting a little emotional, and a more than a little romantic. However, I don’t want to come across too mushy, so feel there always needs to be a bit of wit and japery involved….much like a rom-com.
So, this Sunday at 8pm on Twitter we will taking a look at the world of the Rom-Com, and maybe, just maybe, I will be convinced of a few films to watch over the Valentine period…or maybe I’ll be put off rom-coms for life…who knows. Either way, I wholeheartedly expect at least one person to turn up at my door holding a boombox in the air, blasting out an iconic tune.
Join me Sunday 10th February, and follow the #MTOS as we talk Rom-Com.
