Coming Soon: June 2017
There are significantly more films on my 'to-watch' list this month than I anticipated, and as such narrowing it down to around 10 was pretty challenging... I've ignored most of the obvious ones and just highlighted those that may have slipped under your/my radar!

Quarter-Life Crisis Challenge: June 2017
It's nice to finally know what the fuss is about with TED talks...

The Ciné File: May 2017
I feel like I haven't seen many films this month - including an entire week when I didn't see any at all - so the list of reviews isn't particularly long. However, I have managed to see most of the major new releases so it's not too bad!

Coming Soon: May 2017
May is a pretty interesting month for film, with small British independents dotted in amongst blockbusters, sci-fi, a reboot of Baywatch and the latest Studio Ghibli animation.

Quarter-Life Crisis Challenge: May 2017

The Ciné File: April 2017
This month has consisted of yet more foreign films and all 8 Fast and Furious... It's been a mixed bunch!

Coming Soon: April 2017
Rather ridiculously, I thought that since awards season is over and it's the Easter holidays there would be a slight lull in cinemas as screens filled up with animations and family-friendly crowd pleasers. It turns out that this is not the case at all as April is full of foreign films, documentaries, a couple of horror films, British indies, and period pieces, alongside the latest instalments in huge blockbuster franchises.
It's a wonderfully mixed bunch with something for everyone: perfect for times when the weather can't decide what to do with itself and the best course of action is escaping it all in a cinema!

Finally: I'm actually seeing foreign films and documentaries as they're released and not years later!

Coming Soon: March 2017
Well, the Oscars last weekend were exciting weren't they?!
Given the hullabaloo surrounding the Best Picture mix up, you'd be forgiven for wanting to go and see La La Land and Moonlight again in March (particularly the latter: it's been rolled out to 200+ more screens this week as a result of the win, so you have no excuse to miss seeing this absolute masterpiece) rather than seeing something new. However, March is full of absolute corkers. Other Oscar nominees are finally hitting UK screens this month, in the form of Elle (Best Actress nominee, Isabelle Huppert) and The Salesman (Best Foreign Film winner). There are also highly anticipated blockbusters - Logan, Kong: Skull Island, and Beauty and the Beast - a horror film that's taken the US by storm, Get Out, and the latest movie from Ben Wheatley, Free Fire (which I saw at the London Film Festival and can confirm is rollicking good fun).
There's truly something for everyone this month, so start planning those cinema trips now...

I said it would take another viewing of The Lego Batman Movie to sort my head out and I was right. Thanks, Batman!

Coming Soon: February 2017
Awards season is pretty spectacular and simultaneously really odd. The films on offer at the moment range from blatant Oscar-bait fully deserving of 5* reviews to awful sequels that really shouldn't have been green-lit for production. As such, cinemas are flooded with films at the moment, with many successful box office hits from January (see, for example: La La Land and Manchester by the Sea) still widely available. However, they'll have to make room for the constant barrage of excellent new content reaching audiences over the next month as February has plenty to offer in terms of astonishingly good new films.
I've already broken my 2017 rule of only highlighting 10 films each month as there are just too many unmissable films out over the next 28 days... oops!

The Ciné File: January 2017
In another effort to increase my film watching over the coming year, I've resurrected my previous long-standing series, The Ciné File! On the last Sunday of each month I will be doing mini reviews of the films I've seen over the past 30 days, from cinema trips to see new releases, classics on Netflix and Sky Cinema, and advance screenings. It'll depend on what I've seen throughout the month, but I'll try and review as much as I can, and hopefully it'll be pretty varied.
One of my vague New Years resolutions was to watch more films - particularly across lots of different genres and often out of my comfort zone - so hopefully this will help keep me on track! I've seen nearly everything on my Coming Soon list for January, plus lots more at home. I really want to try pushing my boundaries in 2017, so here goes...

Coming Soon: January 2017
Welcome back to Coming Soon!
Sadly these posts dropped off the radar in the middle of last year, but as I felt like I missed so many films in the latter part of 2016 that I wasn't aware of, I thought it would be a good idea to start compiling these monthly lists again. I like knowing what's coming up so I can plan my cinema trips accordingly, and I always found it helped to have a list of films to work with in order to ensure I don't let any slip through the net. I'm planning on venturing further afield this year if my local multiplex doesn't offer particular films, so I need to know in advance when the best ones are released!
As such, on the first Friday of each month I will be outlining the top 10 key films to try and catch throughout the month. I'll include release dates and trailers, so hopefully I won't be the only one inspired to head to the cinema multiple times!
