Stir crazy? Stuck at home? Take a trip via the movies By Diane Bair and Pamela Wright Globe Correspondent, Updated March 19, 2020, 4:51 p.m. The 1977 film "Annie Hall" is a valentine to New York. PHOTOFEST So, the opening of the new James Bond movie is being pushed back due to COVID-19, not to mention your vacation plans have blown up like MI6′s headquarters in “Skyfall.” We’re all in the same boat, kids, or rather we’re all stuck on the couch (wouldn’t a boat be nice?), oozing with pent-up wanderlust.

You’ve watched the movie for the plot; watch it again for the scenery (and no, we’re not talking Chadwick Boseman). In real life: Ready for adventure? Stay at Buhoma Lodge (www.ugandaexclusivecamps.com) for spectacular views of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and treks to see the elusive mountain gorilla; more than half of the world’s population of these primates lives in Uganda..
