Transformation Tuesday: Week 101

Welcome to post 101! Triple figures seems ridiculous: how have I managed to get this far?

Transformation Tuesday: Week 100

Here we are: 100 Transformation Tuesday posts!

Coming Soon: May 2016

As ever, May's a bit of a mixed bunch film-wise!

There are comedies (Bad Neighbours 2 and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot); animated family-favourites (Angry Birds and Robinson Crusoe); biopics (I Saw the Light and Florence Foster Jenkins) and CGI filled IMAX blockbusters (X-Men: Apocalypse, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Warcraft). Then there's the sort-of sequel to Dazed and Confused from acclaimed director Richard Linklater, Everybody Wants Some!!, a college comedy that has been met with multitudes of 5* reviews but left me cold as it reminded me of everything I detested about university...

Also of note is Patrick Stewart's villainous turn in violent drama Green Room; Jodie Foster's latest thriller featuring veterans George Clooney and Julia Roberts alongside 2014 golden-boy and up and coming star Jack O'Connell, Money Monster; Terrence Malick's bizarre-looking drama with an astonishing cast Knight of Cups; Jane Austen period drama Love and Friendship; and John le Carré espionage thriller Our Kind of Traitor.

While there might not be as many films opening this month as there have been previously this year, I think it's safe to say there'll be something for everyone!

Transformation Tuesday: Week 99

I can't quite believe I'm careening into 100 of these posts without a huge update to speak of, and I have to say - yet again - things are pretty boring round here at the moment.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 98

I think I work best when I'm busy.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 97

In a stark contrast to last week I didn't forget about this post, however I still don't have much to say...

Quarter-Life Crisis Challenge: May 2016

I knew I loved a challenge!

Transformation Tuesday: Week 96

I totally forgot to write this post, so it's a good job I have very little to say this week...

Transformation Tuesday: Week 95

I feel like I'm on a roll: it's been a good week.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 94

Oh, I have definitely turned a corner.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 93

I feel fantastic (and that's not just because I saw Adele last night).

Quarter-Life Crisis Challenge: April 2016

Last week I had a combination of a quarter-life crisis and an epiphany.

Coming Soon: March & April 2016

Once again, my Coming Soon post is more of a 'what you could have seen this month' as it's so late... apologies! In an effort to make up for this, I've combined March and April, so you'll hopefully be able to catch a couple of films from March that are still in cinemas and mark your calendars for those up and coming in the next few weeks. May will be better, I promise!

March was packed with horror films - 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boy, The Witch; sequels - The Divergent Series: Allegiant, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2; and stunning animation, from family favourite Kung Fu Panda 3, to the astonishingly brilliant Anomalisa, and new Disney classic Zootropolis (I've already seen it twice and tell everyone I meet to head to a cinema immediately. The Breaking Bad joke in particular shouldn't be missed!). Then there was the latest Coen brothers' masterpiece in the form of Hail, Caesar!, Ben Wheatley's faithful adaptation of J.G. Ballard's dystopian novel, High-Rise, and the highly divisive - but no where near as bad as critics have declared - superhero behemoth Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

April, on the other hand, is a little more varied. It kicks off with British feel-good film Eddie the Eagle; showcases a couple of documentaries - I am Belfast, The Last Man on the Moon; and takes a historical turn with World War One drama The Man Who Knew Infinity, Cold War spy thriller Despite the Falling Snow and tales of tense Middle East drone warfare Eye in the Sky. There's the hotly anticipated live-action remake of The Jungle Book; Tina Fey's latest comedy Whiskey Tango Foxtrot; Miles Davies biopic Miles Ahead, directed by and staring Don Cheadle; intelligent and gripping sci-fi Midnight Special; and battle lines are drawn when Marvel's favourite superheroes clash in Captain America: Civil War. Perhaps most exciting of all are the foreign films making their way to cinemas in April: the winner of the Palm D'Or at Cannes, Dheepan, and Best Foreign Language film everywhere else including the Oscars, Son of Saul, finally come to the U.K., and given their rave reviews over the last few months it looks like they'd be well worth seeking out.

As ever, all synopsis, release dates and trailers are below, along with star ratings for the films I've already seen. Hopefully this will throw up a couple of films to seek out from March, and those to look out for in April!

Transformation Tuesday: Week 92

Last week I forgot to weigh myself, but this week I actively avoided the scales. Maybe I'm a step away from a break through and throwing them out altogether?

Transformation Tuesday: Week 91

For the first time in weeks, I forgot to weigh myself this morning. As it happens, it hasn't been the end of the world.
