Movie Buffs Associated - Sandra Bullock 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 Sandra Bullock, and the films chosen - one per member - were The Net (1995), Two If by Sea (1996), Infamous (2006), Loverboy (2005), and The Vanishing (1993). 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. Of the two releases in the 20-hundreds, one was shown at 8:50 pm and one was shown on Tuesday.
  • 2. None of the women chose the 1995 release which closed the week.
  • 3. Mark's choice was shown on an odd-numbered day, as were the 7:00 pm and 8:15 pm showings.
  • 4. The latest of the 19-hundreds releases, which was Sally's choice, opened the week.
  • 5. Infamous was the latest, but not last, showing.
  • 6. Neither of the men chose The Vanishing or Infamous.
  • 7. Miss Peters' choice showed mid-week on the hour.
  • 8. Mr. Davison chose the earlier of the two 20-hundreds releases, which showed at an earlier time than that of Mark's choice.
