101 Must See Films

Take 7: From Here to the Future

One of the reason I like Sci Fi is because of my mom. She loved it. I came to love them too. When I came out of the hospital, I remember that I had my Netflix account. I decided that I was going to watch all the Sci Fi I wanted. So I watched Gattaca, Dune, Bladerunner, The Matrix and many more.


Dune - the best film I've seen in 2021. I liked the first film with Kyle Mac Lachlan, Sean Young and Sting. I was glad that it was made. But this second one is better. I can't wait for the sequel.

Elysium - this film is about a boy who wants better things in the future but he wants a better future for all the people in this world.

Oblivion - in this film a man who is guarding the present is thinking about the past. In it he remembers a person who he should know. But his present partner says its best if they forget the past and remember what their future holds.

Gattaca - a man wants to make himself the best he can be so he can be an astronaut. But in this future, he will have to be what the future wants or he'll get caught.

The Old Guard - this is a film when the main part is played by a woman. This woman has been there through thousands of years and she'll be there through thousands more.

Jumper - a boy becomes a man (David Rice) and he can jump from his life into another life and back again. But he is in love with a girl and he wants to protect her. But there are bad men against David and he tries to flee them.

Divergent - in this film a young girl (Tris) becomes something she's not entirely sure of. Because of this, she's capable of being the most important thing.

Insurgent - this is the sequel to Divergent. Tris is becoming who she wants to be. 

Allegiant - the final movie in the Divergent series. 

Bladerunner 2049 - this is a film where a Bladerunner (K) comes across a secret. It could cause chaos. Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford are amazing.

Guest Post: Creative Recharge

Lindsay Bamfield started writing fiction about 10 years ago. She has written a number of short stories and flash fiction pieces and has been published in Greenacre Writers Anthology , Voices from the Web 2012, The Best of Café Lit 2012, Mslexia, Writers’ News and Writing Magazine.  She has won prizes in Writers’ News , Writing Magazine and Words with Jam competitions and has been shortlisted in others. She is currently re-working her first novel with advice from an editor and has a second novel on the back-burner.  How do I recharge my writing batteries? I’m not sure I’m the right person to answer this as my batteries are still somewhat depleted after illness and debilitating treatment, but my writing activity, although still less than ideal has bounced back to some extent. It was only after being ill that I understood just how much energy writing requires. Exhaustion does not engender creativity. After a frustrating dry-spell when I wanted to writ...

Why I love living in Herne Hill

While chatting about current reads with my friend Bev, she mentioned how much she enjoyed reading Bill Bryson’s The Road to Little Dribbling .   And how too it had made her think about the reasons she loves living in the UK.   So, considering it a blog worthy idea, I asked her to write a guest post (to feature later this month). Now however, it’s my turn. My residency in the UK was totally unplanned.  Back in 1987 my parents and I were all set to move to Canada where two aunts and an uncle live.  But the Canadians decided not to grant us entry so hey presto, lucky old Britain got us instead. After our arrival we lived in a variety of areas: Edgware, Arsenal, Fulham and finally Herne Hill.  But it is most definitely Herne Hill where I find I want to stay.  When I’m on my travels it’s the place I get homesick for if things are not going according to plan on my journey. And why exactly is that? ONE I have 4, yes 4 parks in my...

#Amreading

So, it’s six months into this crazy Goodreads 100 book challenge I set myself and I’m happy to report that I'm now two books ahead.  This is largely due to the fact I’ve also been reading children’s books at breakfast.  Without this saving grace I believe I’d be whimpering in shame at this point.  “But is this reading of children’s books thing allowed?” I hear you all asking. The simple answer to that is: YES As I work with children, primarily instructing them on how to improve their creative writing, it is only fitting that I check out the books deemed to be totally read WORTHY by the kids and also by those who reckon they’re in the know. It will come as no great shock to you that I have disagreed with the Know-It-Alls from time to time but NEVER with the kids. However, this post is not about that.  What I would like to do now is give you a run down of the 5 books I’ve found most enjoyable thus far.  You would assume there’d be at ...
