I took a break from my Mad Men re-watch marathon to check out this 2010 documentary about the career of Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian Formula One champion, who died at the age of 34 after a crash in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Pink Floyd: The Wall – Film Review
With Lockdown No. 4 restrictions easing, I went to the Astor Theatre to revisit the movie that scarred my childhood.
Legally Blonde – Film Review

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg – Film Review
Delightful and enchanting French musical with breathtakingly beautiful Catherine Deneuve in her first major film.
