### Updates

Back to the weekly routine, but nice to have some autumnal Dublin sunshine to accompany me on my commute. 

I was sad to see Claudia Cardinale die earlier in the week, an absolute beauty who is in my favourite film of all time - Fitzcarraldo. 

Have spent a little bit of down time working on some new projects, and completed a list of improvements to make to existing work - [startwriting.now](https://startwriting.now/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) continues to get some good traffic, and I have a plan for a V2 very soon.

### Movies

Watched a couple of movies this weekend:

[A ★★★½ review of Mr. Morgan’s Last Love (2013)I didn’t love the extra romance at the end of this, and Michael Caines accent travelled around like a Greyhound bus. However the story is lovely - and Clemence Poesy is excellent.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/2e/c22ecd6b-9412-4701-b914-97051141e207/content/images/icon/letterboxd-decal-l-16px-DorUFlWn-20.svg)Letterboxd![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/2e/c22ecd6b-9412-4701-b914-97051141e207/content/images/thumbnail/144481-mr-morgan-s-last-love-0-230-0-345-crop.jpg)](https://boxd.it/bbOOOR?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)

[A ★★★★ review of 28 Years Later (2025)A peculiarly British horror/thriller. Jodie Comer is excellent and a great turn from Ralph Fiennes.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/2e/c22ecd6b-9412-4701-b914-97051141e207/content/images/icon/letterboxd-decal-l-16px-DorUFlWn-21.svg)Letterboxd![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/2e/c22ecd6b-9412-4701-b914-97051141e207/content/images/thumbnail/Iw9jQe-1200-1200-675-675-crop-000000.jpg)](https://boxd.it/bbWg0J?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)

### Recommended Music

I've been trying for the last few weeks to listen to a new album every day, and sharing my favourites to [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/rutherfordmatt.bsky.social?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) / [Threads](https://www.threads.com/@matt.rutherford?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk). 

One of the best this week is The Importance of Birds by Snorri Halgrimsson, a modern classical piece inspired by the sounds of birdsong and a reflection on the fragility of life. 

It's a stunning album, gentle and contemplative and ideal for background music whilst working or reading. I immediately added this to my Flowstuff playlist. 

Highly recommended.
