Bring on the bad weather, we’ll be in the cinema!
October is an interesting month for movie fans.
Not only are things getting closer to Oscar season, so you’ll have the early arrivals for the awards magnets, but it is also heading towards Halloween, so there should also be one or two scary movies on the horizon.
And chances are, if you’re a proper movie fan, you’ll want to see them all.
