Star Trek - First Contact
A wonderful gift of a movie for this fan of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Directed, written, and acted smoothly and confidently, featuring the cast from the TV series classy as ever and two perfectly chosen 'guest stars' making significant comedic and dramatic moments extra special.

Exciting, imaginative, thoughtful, funny, and warmhearted like the best episodes of the series, while also bigger and better in terms of music, make-up, production design, and special effects.

I've tried to carefully read and consider criticisms of this movie because I think maybe I'm too generous in my praise, but my affection for it is implacable. I can't help but love every minute of it. Resistance is futile.

Halloween 1978,  R)
Halloween
My favourite horror movie, but not just a horror movie - an astute portrait of suburban life as well. Before the violence and menace even starts, it's already a pleasure to watch, as lively, yet organic conversations make the people feel far more real than most movie characters.

Jamie Lee Curtis is immediately appealing as a lonely, romantic bookworm who is far more responsible and mature than her friends, but likes them anyway. With fierce intensity and dread in his voice, Donald Pleasence makes every word of his character's dialog hit hard.

John Carpenter's direction of the movie is mesmerizing with impeccable use of foreground in shot compositions for maximum creepiness and suspense. His assured visual strategy makes the movie gripping from the first minute to the last, no matter how many times I watch it.
