Movies in Sep & Oct

In September, I caught two films screened by the Design Film Festival - 1. Hand Made with Love in France and 2. The Salt of the Earth. 

I watched "Hand Made with Love in France" as my debut movie in a refurbished Capitol Theatre. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and the venue. 

As for "The Salt of the Earth", it was a movie I caught together with Imel on 27 September. She gave me a lunch treat that day as well because it was her birthday month and she had a special discount at Coffee Club. That was really sweet and generous of her. 

Tonight, 23 October, I caught "The Martian" starring Matt Damon with Doris. It was a movie treat from her as she received movie vouchers from NTUC and kindly offered to share her complimentary movie vouchers with me. I treated her to a MacDonalds Samurai burger in return for dinner. 

I wanted to catch "The Martian" coz Troy has caught it a few weeks back and so has YK. It seemed to have received pretty decent reviews and turned out to be a decent film. However, in view of all the three films I've caught these two months, my favourite is "Hand Made with Love in France". Perhaps it's the theme of fashion, artisans, art, luxury and time honoured tradition that so captivated my attention. Or it could simply be the romantic, iconic backdrop of Paris which made it quite unforgettable. Either way, that's a film which I will remember for quite some time to come. Or so I hope.
