Resolutions

This year I promised to myself that I would see as many new films as they came out as I could. So far so good it seems. This month I watched six films that came out in the months of December and January (mostly January).

This Month I have seen:

  1. Room (Abrahamson, 2015) - This was the first film that I saw this month and it was just lovely. Brie Larson in her most moving role yet, just a beautifully made film with terrific performances from all involved.
  2. The Danish Girl (Hooper, 2016) - Alicia Vikander needs to win the Oscar for her performance in this gorgeously made film. Her character is really the star of the film, and her performance was just so moving.
  3. Joy (Russel, 2015) - I'm not the biggest fan of Jennifer Lawrence but this film has made me rethink my stance on her as an actress. Whilst watching this film I honestly just forgot that it was Lawrence, and I was just immersed completely in her performance. Also, great for a girl power boost.
  4. Dirty Grandpa (Mazer, 2016) - Just a super fun and silly film that features Zac Efron naked or half naked a lot. Also, Robert De Niro is just amazing, any film with him cannot go badly, right?
  5. The Big Short (McKay, 2016) - The editing, oh my gosh the editing! This film is just put together so beautifully, and uses such quirky techniques to talk to the audience directly.
  6. Spotlight (McCarthy, 2015) - This film is just perfect. The way it handles such a subject is done just so perfectly. As much as I would love for Inside Out to win best original screenplay the script for this film is how this it creates the impact that it does on the audience. 
All of the films that I have seen this month were just great films for different reasons. The Best release is Spotlight (McCarthy, 2015) in my opinion, it just left me both speechless and motionless. 

I hope that this resolution continues throughout the year, I know it will at least next month as I already have five films booked already! I would have more but I reached my booking limit, oops!

p.s. hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a very Happy new year!
