Fast Cars
Sometimes you don’t know what to choose. Ever had that problem? I always am ambivalent when choosing an in-flight movie. And it isn’t just the wealth of choices. Some movies you know demand a theatre experience. Watching them on the back of an airplane seat isn’t the best. Then there’s time constraints. If you only […]
Tolkein
Spoiler alert; the book became a hit. But probably anyone who watches Tolkein knew that already. I remember reading about this film when it was being made, but missed it in theatres. Thank you Lufthansa for showing it when Air Canada didn’t. (I should note, Lufthansa had no Canadian movies available. Sometimes hard choices have […]
The Accountant
I must admit, I chose this in-flight movie because I thought it wouldn’t be too demanding on my tired brain. It wasn’t. I took notes at the time, but was too tired after two weeks of travel to turn them into a review while still sitting on the plane. That is what I usually do; […]
Breath of Life
Delayed on the tarmac at Frankfurt Airport seemed like the perfect time to watch Breath of Life, a ten minute documentary about organ donation advocate Hélène Campbell. Hélène is well known for her campaign, to raise awareness of the need for organ donors both before and after she received new lungs. My connection to […]

Manchester By The Sea
Death. Family. Adolescence. Sin. Redemption. Hidden secrets. So many heavy topics touched on in one film. When you think about it, it can overwhelm you. I had read a positive review somewhere of Manchester by the Sea and was thinking about seeing it in the theatres, but I ran out of time. Then it received […]
The Girl On The Train
I read The Girl On The Train two summers ago when everyone on the beach was reading it. I thought I had shared my impressions of it with you, but a search of past posts doesn’t turn it up. The movie seemed like a safe choice for inflight entertainment, given that the flight was more […]
In-Flight Movies
I love movies, but never seem to find the time to go to the theatre. So I get caught up on the occasions when I have long flights. I don’t miss the days when everyone on a plane had to watch the same film, which inevitably was shown on a screen as far as possible […]
