When it comes to movies, what’s your thing? Are you a rom-com fan, a sci-fi buff, a thriller thrill-seeker, or do you prefer action movies such as one of the many recent comic-book-superhero offerings? I have to admit that I am partial to a bit of escapism in the form of Batman, Superman and Spiderman, but none of these match up to the recent excellent Wonder Woman movie (if you’ve not seen it yet, give it a go!). Yes, I know they don’t compare to the ‘classics’, but it was a breath of fresh air to enjoy a fi lm where the woman sorted out the bad guys and saved the day – my apologies if that’s a bit of a spoiler for you. What makes a really good fi lm? Is it the CGI effects, the music, the scenery, the plot line, a favourite actor or actress or something else? One of my fi rst cinematic experiences as a child was to see Disney’s Bambi in the 1970s and I can remember loving the sheer magic of the beautiful animation. Going to the cinema in those days was a rare treat. Last Christmas my parents bought me the best present ever – one of those unlimited cinema cards – so throughout this year I’m sure that the cinema has made a loss as I’ve been to see just about every new fi lm that’s come out (well, the superhero and sci-fi fi lms anyway). My unlimited card only permits one person, so for most of the fi lms I’ve seen this year I’ve gone on my own. Going to the cinema is great, but I have to admit that going on my own just isn’t the same as sharing the experience with someone else. So what is it that makes a really good fi lm? I wonder if it’s having someone to hold onto during scary moments, sharing the laughs and tears, and talking about it even days later when you remember funny or sad or exciting moments from the fi lm. I wonder if what makes a really good movie is not just the fi lm itself but rather enjoying it in company. Just like real life I suppose. At St Chad’s we have recently been delighted to host a number of Film Club evenings which have been hugely popular. If you enjoy a good fi lm, why not come along and share the experience with others in good company? As you read through the rest of this magazine you will see that at St Chad’s, your local parish church, there are lots of events and activities for all ages, such as the Natter coffee morning for anyone over 50 on Tuesdays from 10.15-11.15am. If natter or movies are not your thing and you are looking for a quiet space to refl ect and pray, you are more than welcome to come into St Chad’s during the week when it is open. Why not join us at one of our Sunday services where you can hear about the greatest story ever told, and share the experience in company with others? Maybe we’ll see you soon.
