For the last two years, I haven’t had much of a chance to go to the movie theatre, but if there is one film that is high on my list of movies to watch, it’s Dune by Denis Villeneuve.

I’ve always been a huge fan of the Dune series by Frank Herbert, and I also loved the 1984 Dune move directed by David Lynch. There’s something unique about the world and characters in the books that isn’t present in most other science fiction universes. The themes and topics touched on in the books are still as relevant today as they were back in the 1960s when the first book was published.

Whenever the weekend approaches the first thing I always think about is what movie I can watch. There’s just something soothing to me about unwinding after a long week by watching a movie.

One of the things that I wanted to take advantage of on my trip back to South Africa was the chance to watch the new Deadpool movie that released 14 February. The timing was perfect for me as that was the very day that I would arrive from Japan!

On December 18 I was one of millions of moviegoers around the world that headed off to see the first showing of Star Wars Episode VII.
