So now that Year Who Should Not Be Named is behind us, I thought I'd take a brief moment to reflect on my favourite films of the year. In years gone by I tried to catch as many new releases in cinemas, but the emergence of the streaming platforms has made that almost impossible. I'm still wrestling with the concept, so I can't appreciate if I like it or not. Surely it must be a good thing, but a part of me gets overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content blasted towards us. Maybe we're not meant to catch it all.  I’ve missed more films this year than I'd care to admit, hopefully I'll grab them in 2021. Would love to hear what films tickled your fancy this year. Hit me up in the comments below or as always come and play on our Facebook page . Without further adieu here are my top 10 favourite films of the year: The Last Black Man in San Francisco  American Utopia  Sound of Metal  Da 5 Bloods The Way Back   Mank   Bill and Ted Face the Music  Th...

Hornsby Odeon Cinema holds a special place in my heart, as I experienced so many movies here as a child. Nothing beats seeing Hook with some friends for my 10th birthday. As silly as it may sound, heading out to see a film you love, goes a long way to returning to some kind of normality in this crazy year. “The Odeon team worked tirelessly during lockdown to repaint freshen up and throughly clean everything. In addition we have also recommissioned our state of the art 35mm equipment with features such as Dolby SRD 6 track stereo sound system with EX extension.
