Movies Of 2017 - December Recapped!

Image
As you can imagine, December is massively seasonal based in Chez Emma. If you haven't watched Die Hard, Home Alone and Muppet's Christmas Carol by December 3rd then you're slacking... and you know I got the Christmas party started right. --- The Man Who Invented Christmas ★★★★★ Two years after the success of Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens is suffering financial hardship from the failure of his last three books. Rejected by his publishers, he sets out to write a new book to restore his finances. Seeing inspiration around London, most notably a rich man's funeral that is largely unattended, he begins writing A Christmas Carol, due in six weeks in order to be published by Christmas. As Charles begins to develop his story, he interacts with the characters he is writing about, most notably Ebenezer Scrooge. Christmas spirit abounds this month, and I was so happy to see it start with this film. I'm fed up of saying "I hadn't heard anything about ...

Movies To See In 2018

Last year's movies to see was short and disappointing... I honestly don't know how I couldn't find more films coming out. So... must try harder. Here we go I'm going to go all out for this (if I can). Show guide: One Star ★ : I'm really looking forward to it. Two Stars ★★ : If you invite me to do something on opening day... I will be telling you I'm sick and can't make it. January Arctic Justice - Puffin henchmen and an Arctic fox with a dream. Blame - A taboo relationship leads to a vengeful chain of events. The Commuter - A businessman is caught up in a criminal conspiracy during his daily commute home. Early Man - An Aardman production where Early Man is about to be evicted, by a Bronze Age city. Molly's Game - Done and dusted thanks to Cineworld's last Unlimited Screening of 2017. February ★★   Black Panther - After the death of his father T'Challa returns home to take his place on the throne. Den of Thieves...

Movies Of 2017 - November Recapped!

November, or as some have called it, the month of the Unlimited Screening. Five hot off the reel films to sink out teeth into, and plenty of others besides. One thing is for sure, I have probably met every single Unlimited Card holder this month, and they really are a varied bunch! --- Bad Mom's Christmas ★★★★★ A whole festive light display, matching hair styles, and a request for money. When Amy, Kiki and Carla's mums (sorry moms) turn up out of the blue they quickly realise that this time they need to take back Christmas. First Christmas film of the season... if we're not including the fact I watched Die Hard the other day. The first one was such fun that I had to go and see this one. This one is perfect girl's night viewing. I don't know what to say to this one, it's funny, and it's got a gorgeous stripping Santa... ladies, if that doesn't do it for you then I don't know what will. (Oh wait... Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot in Justic...
