Movie Minds with Michael

Merry Christmas everyone! Today mark's the 1st of December, which to some people means we can now officially say it's the Christmas season, though personally I've been in that mood for weeks! Anyway, seeming I'm really feeling that festive spirit, I thought it would be fun to write a blog about my top 20 Christmas movies. Now before we get right into it, I thought I would just say that the only rules for this list is that each film has to feature scenes taking place during the Christmas season, so there may be a few surprises on the list, and before you say it, no, I've not included 'Die Hard' on the list, though many would! I've also not included 'Frozen', which appears on many modern Christmas movie lists. I mean come on guys, it doesn't even take place during the Winter but actually Summer! So now you know the rules, why don't you sit back, pour a glass of mulled wine and enjoy my top 20 Christmas movies list! 20 - Black Ch...

Will Smith's Genie performing Prince Ali is one of my film highlight's of the year!  Hey guys! We're almost half way through 2019 and I've already seen 21 new films. 2018 proved to be a good year for films but this year has really surpassed it already. So being the film buff I am, I thought I'd rank the films I've seen so far this year, each with a little short and sweet summary. So here it goes! 21 - THE AFTERMATH Dreadful. Just dreadful. I know it's a cliche when people say that they fall asleep at the cinema when watching films they don't like but this really did happen to me while watching The Aftermath. I've never seen such a full film and the acting from the whole cast was so wooden! 20 - ESCAPE ROOM I couldn't wait to ESCAPE from the screening room myself! It was a pretty dull affair and not one character was remotely likeable in the slightest.  19 - THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA More like 'The Curs...

2018 proved to be a massive year for film, seeing many career-defining performances from actors and even one musician, yes, I'm sure you know who I'm talking about! Having seen so many fantastic performances, I thought I would write a blog about the 10 stand-out performances I witnessed on screen. There were so many fantastic people to choose from, making it hard to choose just 10 but I think these are pretty well justified. Then again, this is just in my opinion, though I'm sure you may agree with some of my choices. Anyway, let's get rock on! 10 - Lucy Boynton, Bohemian Rhapsody So kicking off my list is Lucy Boynton, one of the stand out performers from one of my favourite films last year, the totally epic Queen biography, Bohemian Rhapsody. Now I can't go on without saying just how perfect the whole cast of Bohemian Rhapsody were. I'll be totally honest, I didn't know hardly any of them before seeing the film, heck, I'd never even seen...
