What I think about films, TV and celebs!
A lot of people have been doing their end of year lists since the start of December, but I like to wait a little longer just in case there is a late entry – I thought The Greatest Showman might have made it (it didn’t) – so here are my top 10 films of 2017.
I know the reviews for Murder on the Orient Express have been mixed at best but the cast is so incredible that I had to check it out anyway and I’m sorry to confirm that the masses were right – it is disappointing.
I love dogs and that usually translates to a love for dog movies, but also a sense of sadness when an onscreen dog dies, which is why I struggled with A Dog’s Purpose. It’s trying to be a sweet, sentimental film about a dog’s connection and loyalty to its owners but there’s a lot of dog death to deal with and I’m not sure kids will enjoy that. I certainly didn’t.
Just yesterday I wrote that the two films I’m most excited about are Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. This must be my lucky week as we got first-look pics of Kingsman and now the freaking trailer for The Last Jedi!
The live-action retelling of Disney classic Beauty and the Beast was under serious pressure to be good because the original meant a lot to my family growing up. Sure, we liked The Jungle Book and Cinderella but Beauty and the Beast is the first of the live-action reboots that I desperately wanted/needed to be good – and I thankfully wasn’t let down.
It’s the start of the month which means it must be movie preview time! I’ve got you covered from superhero movies, Disney live-action reboots to some awesome independent release. Check out my picks!
