What Are You Watching (July, 2017)

Perhaps a little more active on the film side this month than last month as it has been an awesome month for brand new films coming at the cinema. I have been taking full advantage of my unlimited card this month with the amount of films I have wanted to see.

 TV
  • Tokyo Ghoul - I may have found another new favourite this month. This anime is beautifully animated and the character progression is immense, although not always good. I can't wait to read the manga next because as much as I enjoyed the series I felt like it was somewhat rushed and it may have fallen into the book into movie issues that a lot of the anime, I have watched, have not had a run in with. But highly recommend to people that enjoy character pieces with an intense narrative. You will need to not mind gore because it tends to be quite bloody. Review is available here if you want more in-depth thoughts: 
  • Natsume Yuujinchou - I've started to take my time on the longer ones so I don't end up hating them after a few weeks of literally only watching them and then needing to put them down for a month. It actually doesn't take too long to finish them this way compared to that way. Anyway, this show was very fun to watch. I loved Natsume and his development throughout the show, not only in himself but also the development of the relationships with everything around him (as it is not only people). There is also a cat as one of the main characters which makes me very happy when watching this show.

 Film
  • Baby Driver - Long story short, I love this film and think that everyone that can should go and see it immediately. If you would like the long story, you can check out my full review here: http://galaxysearcher.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/baby-driver-wright-2017.html 
  • Cars 3 - When I first heard this was coming out I was very disappointed in PIXAR because in my opinion Cars 2 is the worst PIXAR film they have made by a long shot which was very disappointing for me because I really love Cars (the first one in the trilogy). However, when the trailers started to come out I got more and more excited for it as it seemed to be all about Lightning and his racing again. My full review is here if you'd like some more in depth thoughts on this gem: http://galaxysearcher.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/cars-3-fee-2017.html
  • To The Bone - Mental health issues are being put in the limelight more and more often which is good as hopefully it is helping people to understand mental illness if they aren't affected by one. This film was very moving and thoughtful when discussing such a massive issue. The performances where very thoughtful and the narrative was very well done apart from the romance element which I felt like it could have done without. I thought the writing by Marti Noxon was very smart and Lily Collins' performance was very intense and believable. 
  • The Nice Guys - Very funny indeed. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are very funny in this 1970's set detective comedy. Highly recommend, again. Good one liners and killer scenes that will honestly make you laugh out loud. 
  • Dunkirk - Christopher Nolan's new blockbuster is thoughtful and intense in this WWII epic telling the story of the men saved by the people. It was very moving and very worth watching. Although it wasn't my favourite Christopher Nolan film to date I will watch it again and highly recommend it to others. Review shall be coming next week
This has been a good film month, with only one film leaving me a little bit unsure about it but that was mostly because of the subject matter and an unnecessary romance. I have held back a little on the TV, I've got a few currents that are currently being aired like Game of Thrones, My Hero Academia and a few others. I think only one or two aren't currently being aired/I'm not at that point yet. This month I really wanted to watch more films and I think I succeeded in watching at least one film a week, woo! and there actually like brand new, like came out this month apart from one so I am very pleased with myself.
  Ok, thank you very much for reading. If you would like you can leave me any recommendations for what I should watch next month or anything that was really good that you guys watched. See you next week!
