TOP 2017 MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR

Hello Everyone. I'm back. I've been busy with work and exams. I promise to post as often as possible from now on.

So I decided to write something on movies to look out for in 2017. Most of them are remakes and sequels though. Here goes:

1. The Fate of the Furious aka Fast 8 - So you know how Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) emphasizes on the importance of family and how you can't turn your back on them even when they do? Well, Dom turns his back on his family and I can't even think of any reason why he would do that except there's a bomb in each one of his crew's heads. The Fast and Furious series has improved over the years especially with the action scenes and I can't wait to see what Fast 8 has in store for us.

2. Spiderman: Homecoming - Watching Tom Holland's performance in Captain America: Civil War is enough reason to want to watch this movie. He has a great sense of humor and is able to portray Spiderman as a typical teenager with teenage problems. Oh and by the way, Ironman stars in the movie.

3. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper make an incredible group of superheroes and it'd be nice to see them work together again. Groot (Vin Diesel) has more "I am Groot" lines as he's young and has more energy than the lazy and slow Groot in the prequel.

4. The Space Between Us - A boy who was born on Mars and has lived all his life on Mars gets to come to Earth for the first time, explores the world and falls in love. The problem is his body system cannot withstand Earth's atmosphere and he has to go back to Mars so he breaks out of the medical facility where he's under observation and runs away with the girl he's fallen in love with. It's always a delight to watch Asa Butterfield; he makes acting seem so effortless, with his distinctively blue eyes and his British accent.

5. Dunkirk - Directed by Christopher Nolan, Music by Hans Zimmer and starring Tom Hardy. If those aren't enough reasons to see a movie, I don't know what is.

I hope you enjoyed a review of my top five 2017 movies.

Merry Christmas and have a beautiful 2017. See you in the new year.

The Trial of the Chicago 7

I had been hesitant to see this film since it came out because I thought it was going to be one of those movies that was boring and typically portrayed black people as victims/slaves, because I'm honestly tired of all that but then someone convinced me otherwise and well it was so damn worth it. An historical legal drama, this movie takes us through the trial of activists; Abbie Hoffman , Tom Hayden , Rennie Davis , Jerry Rubin , David Dellinger , Lee Weiner and John Froines , after the American government charged them with conspiracy to incite violence across state lines at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 1968. Originally called the Chicago 8 because Bobby Seale , the national leader of the Black Panther party was one of the defendants but was eventually given a mistrial during the trial. In 1968, the DNC is about to take place in Chicago where the presidential candidate for the next election was going to be nominated. The President at the time, Lyndon B. Johnson h

BLENDED

Blended is about a father of 3 girls, Jim Friedman ( Adam Sandler ), who recently lost his wife, and a mother of 2 boys, Lauren Reynolds ( Drew Barrymore ), who’s recently divorced. They go on a blind date that turns out terrible and somehow they end up in South Africa for a 1-week trip, both families. They even share the same suite. Basically, the movie is about both families trying to blend together while on the trip. It reminds me of Just go with it starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston . It’s the same plot because they go on a trip and end up falling in love. Bella Thorne , the gi rl from Disney’s Shake it up plays the oldest daughter of Jim Friedman, she’s really grown from the little girl she used to be. Terry Crews plays the African performer Nickens. It was a terrible role for him to play. I mean they could have used a less popular actor and he still would have pulled it off. I really don’t know whether Shaquille is trying to enter the movie industry becaus

Cruella

I was not exactly excited to see this movie as the last major film released by Disney ( Mulan ) ended in tears. Nevertheless, I went ahead to see it and I was not disappointed. Set in the 70s, Cruella is a girl whose dreams of being a fashion designer come true after she redesigned a dress for the Baroness, one of the big names in the fashion industry at the time. She ends up working for her until she finds out that she's a narcissistic bitch who would do anything to remain in power. Kind of like the Nigerian government. This movie gave me The Devil wears Prada vibes, but less enjoyable. Cruella is based on the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith in which she steals dalmatian dogs in order to make fur coats with their skin. I think this is supposed to be a prequel of sorts as it tells of the origins of Cruella. The idea of trying to create a backstory as to why a villain turned out the way they did is honestly getting tiring. I'd be much happier knowing that
