Kern: Like I mentioned in our previous In Conversation, I think between the two of us, we’ve been to a fair number of Q&As, so I wanted to really talk about some of the more interesting ones we’ve seen. So many of them are utterly forgettable. For instance the one we saw after The Report…
A selection of some of the films we’re most looking forward to seeing this year. Or next year. Or whenever they finally come out. Hopefully this year. Last Night in Soho Is there a part of me that wishes to have a more interesting most anticipated than putting a new Edgar Wright film on here…

Everything has led to this, and the time has finally come. I’m a major Star Wars fan, and have been since elementary school. However, I feel that I’ve always been critical of the series. I never look forward to watching the prequels, though I don’t turn them off at first glance and I’m not even…
Investigative journalism films directly appeal to me, mostly because I love movies about everyday people being good at what they do for a living – the first horse training sequence in The Rider brought me to tears, for instance.

Rick and Ilsa, Jack and Rose, Mia and Sebastian, and now Nicole and Charlie. Sometimes the best couples in film just aren’t meant to be together in the end.
