Movie Buffs Associated - Arnold Schwarzenegger Logic Puzzle

A five-member panel, determined by a ballot of members of the local Movie Buffs Associated at the Annual General Meeting, select a series of movies, starring a particular actor/actress, to be shown in the Municipal Offices function room each evening from Monday to Friday. The panel of Sally Boyden, Mark Thomson, Jessica Farmer, Laurie Davison and Mary Peters were re-elected for 2015.

Last week their choice actor/actress was Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the films chosen - one per member - were True Lies (1994), The 6th Day (2000), Total Recall (1990), Red Sonja (1985) and Eraser (1996). The films chosen were not respective, and neither were they shown in that order, nor in the order in which they were released. Showing time differed each evening. From this information and the following clues, for each member, can you determine who chose which film, the day on which it was shown, and at what time?

  • 1. The only 20-hundreds release was shown at the earliest time, but not on an odd-numbered day.
  • 2. Of the two showings after 8:00 pm, one was Sally's choice and one was the 1996 release.
  • 3. Miss Farmer and Mr. Davison had consecutive days showings, as had Mark, Mary and Sally.
  • 4. Total Recall and Eraser were not the choices of any of the women.
  • 5. Miss Boyden's choice was shown at a time 1 hour and 15 minutes after Mary's choice.
  • 6. True Lies showed mid-week.
  • 7. Red Sonja opened the week at a time 10 minutes before that of the 1990 release.
