Media Blog Introduction

Introduction My name is Ben Metcalfe, and I am a media student. This blog will document my work and what I get up to in Media Studies. My favorite film is Hot Fuzz, because it tells a funny story, and is not without excitement, action, and courage. A few actors in this move also take the lead role in another film, "Shaun Of The Dead". This is also a great movie, and maybe my #2.
