Is that films are a wonderful thing!
With all of the cinemas shut and me not willing to spend £18 on a 48 hour renting of a virtual film from Sky (Sorry to the Trolls World fans), we seem to have reached an impasse. I have nothing new to review, apart from Misbehaviour and Bacarau, although frankly I struggle to see the point if you can’t watch them. I’ve also been feeling rather desensitised. I’ve not been fully able to embrace the films I’ve watched with all the chaos going on around me. Then I realised what was missing…
I ran over to HMV and like a Karen in a Sainsburys, I stockpiled. Every happy DVD I could think of was added to my basket as I pushed a pensioner down the stairs to get to the last copy of *Generic Taika Watiti film*. I got home, put one of the films on and I smiled throughout.
Because that’s the thing. Despite films being able to take us into worlds and understand a different side to humanity, they can also provide an escape. A chance to forget about everything. Therefore, for the upcoming weeks, I won’t be reviewing the latest releases. I will be discussing some of the great feel-good films you can get and I really really hope you will give them a chance and let them take you away to a blissful place you deserve to be, even for a couple of hours.
