5 CINEMA HIGHLIGHTS

What’s a movie you saw as a child that has left a lasting impression on you? It’s got to be Star Wars (specifically A New Hope ). It’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. We used to have a recording off the TV on VHS (yes I’m old) before getting the Original Trilogy box set on VHS before the ‘97 re-release.

Sense and Sensibility Oct 15

What’s one of your all-time favourite films, and why? Minority Report . The first collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise, with music by John Williams. It just has everything I love in a movie: sci-fi, action, suspense, and the classic Tom Cruise run. Mad Men is a series that I’ve revisited from start to finish three times now. It’s easy to romanticise that period of time (the clothes, the cars, and that mid-century modern aesthetic), but the series also shows why we shouldn’t romanticise it. I am constantly conflicted about how to feel about Don Draper, admiring his work and tenacity while also being disgusted by his actions. What’s one of your all-time favourite TV series, and why? What have you been watching lately that you’d recommend? I have been recommending Project Hail Mary to anyone who will listen. I read the book prior to seeing the movie and the movie is just as good. I also saw The Odyssey at the cinemas recently, which will be a day one purchase for me once the 4K is available next month.
