MY TOP MOVIE SELECTIONS FOR 2017 YOU NEED TO SEE IN CINEMAS!!

The coming year's superhero offerings will see Hugh Jackman back tearing shit up as Wolverine in Logan, a second "volume" of Guardians of the Galaxy and Tom Holland making his full web-slinging debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Gal Gadot, meanwhile, will be seen as Wonder Woman in both a World War I-set solo vehicle and alongside Ben Affleck's Batman in Justice League, DC Comics' riposte to Marvel's all-conquering Avengers films.
Two of those very Avengers, Thor and The Hulk, will team up in an epic Thor: Ragnarok, while the Caped Crusader will also be seen in The Lego Batman Movie.
There'll also be a double helping of monkey business in Kong: Skull Island and War for the Planet of the Apes, more Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge and more acid-blooded xenomorphs in what is probably my most anticipated film of 2017 Alien: Covenant. (Where is the trailer dude's?).

British cinema is also getting in on the act with T2: Trainspotting, Danny Boyle's 20-years-later follow-up to his 1996 cult film. There's also Paddington 2, a successor to 2014's hit outing for Michel Bond's marmite loving bear.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will also be doing his bit for nostalgia by bringing back Baywatch in May and a follow on for the classic Jumanji in December.

Sir Kenneth Branagh will be seen as Hercule Poirot in an all-star makeover of the brilliant classic Agatha Christie mystery Murder on the Orient Express.
Scarlett Johansson, meanwhile, will feature as a cyborg policewoman kicking ass and taking names in Ghost in the Shell, a remake of 1995's classic Japanese anime.
The Power Rangers will return in a live-action re-do starring Bryan Cranston, while CHiPs brings back everyone's favourite highway patrolmen.

There will also be comebacks for scary clown Pennywise and serial killer Jason Voorhees in new versions of Stephen King's It and Friday the 13th respectively.
Horror fans are well catered for by the likes of Insidious: Chapter 4, World War Z 2 and Saw: Legacy.
Once December rolls around, though, expect all of the above to be outstripped at the box office by Star Wars: Episode VIII, the next "official" chapter in the blockbuster space saga.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

Image
• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
