Lion (2016)

This tells the true story of a boy, Saroo, who got lost when separated from his brother and he ended up 1500km from his home in Kolkata, a place that he didn't speak the language and where grown men tried to kidnap him. But, eventually he was put in an orphanage until Sue (Played by Nicole Kidman) and her husband, from Australia, adopted him. Then, they adopt his brother who has rage and self-harms. Then, twenty years late you see Saroo as an adult (played by Dev Patel) going to school to be a hotel manager, he meets Lucy (Played by Rooney Mara) which intern endears him to find his family using Google Earth. The film which is dramatic throughout , which did make me cry, but, when watching it with my mum there wasn't any subtitles, and so we watched a good hour of the film just pondering as to what they may have been saying in Hindu and Bengali, it wasn't until after we realised we forgot to press that button.
I rate this film a 17/20.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)

This remake of the classic Disney princess film is what was needed for young girls to aspire to a strong independent woman, the strong undertones between La Feou and Gaston and some otheres make the film have a lighter heart when in the face of mena characters such as Gaston. TO which Luke Evans triumphantly played it in a way which made it a convincing narcissism and near psychopathy. Emma Watson's Belle truly shows what was mssing with the Disney Princesses, women can be intelligent as well as beautiful which has always been a strong supporting feature of her personality  to whihc made her my favourite Princess as a child, that and the DIsney channel program 'Sing me a story with Belle'.
Ewan Mcgrgor definatley added to the film in creating one of the best song sequences in CGI and Real picture combination with 'Be our Guest' and Stephen Chbosky, writter of 'Perks of being a wallflower' wrote the film in such as way as to not to deivate fromt he original that much howeve,r with more tension and dramatic that I ended up crying when the servants devolved into objects as well as when I thought Gaston had got Adam AKA The Beast for good. With songs sung so well that I was singing them for the next couple of days I totally commend Disney for this some-what masterpiece.

I rate this film a 17/20.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (2017)

If you haven't seen the first film all you would be missing is a man who can hold an Infinity stone without blowing up, a group of unlikeliest characters getting together and forming the Guardians.


This time you see the adorable Baby Groot dancing to Mr Blue Sky - E.L.O. and you see some absolutely mind blowing CGI which make it seem so realistic and colour it just looks like you are tripping of some really Groovy psychedelic. The new Marvel formula for a brilliant film is clearly evident here, a wrong was done, the joining together of probably unlikely characters, a kidnapping of a character leads therefore to an epic battle scene with yet again an incredibly empowering soundtrack including 'The chain'- Fleetwood Mac, 'Fox on the run'- Sweet and 'My sweet lord'- George Harrison.
Chris Pratt looks hotter in this film, Gamora's hair still makes me more jealous than Mary Kate of Ashley, Drax still has his annoying attitude to which allows him to take most things literally or to find the most peculiar things hilarious and Rocket still is Baby groot's translator yet still like to walk the line of Ethics.




I rate this brilliant film a 8/10.
