Films to look forward to

I love film and tv, Its one way I relax, I especially like going to the cinema getting a large box of popcorn and watching a film. So this weeks blog is about films I'm excited to see this year, OK so it is March but you'll soon find out timing isn't my strong point.As part of my review I will include what my girlfriend (Katie thinks, you can find her blog HERE. So here is my five films to look forward to.


Noah 

Noah looks like it is a serious version of Evan Almighty. As the title suggests its about the bible story of Noah and the ark. If you know the bible, you will find it amusing that Hollywood are starting at the beginning,so we will have Revelations by 2020. Russel Crowe is playing Noah. Ray Winston and Anthony Hopkins are I think playing the baddies, but I'm not entirely sure the trailer hardly gives anything away, apart from the fact the graphics look amazing!!  And it won't hurt to see Emma Watson back on a film screen. 

Katie's quick thoughts
4/10 interesting look at traditional story bit darker but love the idea, a manly version of Evan Almighty!  

Captain America: The  Winter Solider

Now I've been excited for this film for along time. The first film was my favourite Marvel Film, I have a secret Marvel obsession. However I do have this thing with sequel I never tend to like them, well apart from James Bond, Starwars and Lethal Weapon. But I get the feeling the Captain America films might be added to this list. It's bound to be full of explosions and fight scenes but the first had a story behind it. This film is bound to be a box office sensation. 

Katie's Quick thoughts
8/10 I may have a secret love of super hero's after watching the avengers, love the fact it has a story not just mindless violence and a hot superhero helps ;) 

The Railway Man

This film is about a world war 2 prisoner of war, who was captured by the Japanese. Not wanting to give you all a history lesson, but the Japanese forced their prisoners to work on projects to help the war effort. This story follows the horrific conditions those men went through, it focus' on Colin Firth character and his search to get revenge on his captives. His wife (Nicole Kidman) tries to support him through this ordeal. Its a perfect love story with a hard, upsetting edge to it. I'm really looking forward to this film being released. 

Katie's Quick thoughts
9/10 Interesting, historical, heartfelt and sounds brilliant! With brilliant actors/actresses and a true story!

22 Jump Street
The first film was absolutely hilarious, as much as I love serious films with a hard hitting story, comedies like this just cheer you up. By the looks of the trailer its the same story as 21 jump street, just at college. Jonah Hill is one my favourite comedy actors at the moment and Channing Tatum is one for the girls to go and see, Ow and Katie mentioned Dave Franco? so I think this is a definite date night film. 

Katie's Quick thoughts
10/10 Jonah Hill = Hilarious  Channing Tatum = Beautiful Oh and was that Dave Franco I saw! I'm in! 

Sin City: A dame to kill for

I am so excited for this film. The first one was my favourite thriller a couple of years ago... not that I watched it at the time. I really can't say how excited I am to see this film. Based on the book this films trailer looks amazing! So amazing you need to watch it:On youtube here

With a cast that features; Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jessica Alba. You just know its worth paying to see. 

Yeah I disagree with Katie on this one.

Katie's Quick thoughts 
3/10  seems interesting but scary and at over 2 and a half hours long could get bored 


So that's my five films to look forward to, go out and enjoy the cinema this year.

Have a great week

Thanks for reading 

Sam:)
