Running on Empty – Sidney Lumet (Friday’s Finest)
Running on Empty (1988) is another under the radar movie which I picked up for pittance here in Bogota. I hadn’t seen it since my youth, but I was very fond of it. So you can imagine my surprise when…
Tokyo Story (1953) – Yasujirô Ozu (Friday’s Finest)
There are few other movies whose legacy to the history of cinema are as substantial as Tokyo Story. It tells the simple story of an aging couple who travel to Tokyo to visit their grown children. All of their children…
Once (2007) – John Carney (Friday’s Finest)
Once is an Irish romantic drama that had a very modest budget (and ‘approach’ if I might add) and found Oscars success at the 2008 awards season. I have great affection for this movie not only because I had just…

Paris, Texas (1984) – Wim Wenders (Friday’s Finest)
Paris, Texas was one of the first indie movies I got addicted to watching….. although it kinda ripped my guts out. This film is an early warning to us all of how life can easily overwhelm without us realising it.…
A Separation (2011) – Asghar Farhadi (Friday’s Finest)
I had A Separation on the back-burner to watch for far too long and when I eventually saw this Academy award winner for best foreign film, I was kicking myself I hadn’t seen it sooner. It is currently sitting 9th…
