Film #39: IRON MAN 3 (2013)

This was a good film but it definitely wasn't Marvel's best and wasn't the best in the Iron Man series. They definitely should stop now but I fear they have already began the journey into making another Iron Man movie.
The film was good and had a good plot however there were certain elements of the plot that I disagreed with for example Tony spent a lot of time out of his suits and focused more on him surviving without them. However the reason he  has the suits is because they are what give him the ability to do his super actions and so he felt too ordinary in this film, which I know some audience members would like but I disagree with that as he's meant to be better than the ordinary as he's a superhero. Also I didn't like the amount of complaining that Pepper did in the beginning of the film. She made Tony look like a bad guy for wanting to work on his suits which then actually save her life! Back off Pepper!
However ranting aside it was a good watch, although X-men is a lot better...just saying!

Film #38: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (2002)

This was a really good film, well that was obvious from Tom Hank's presence in it! The film was based around Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) being a wanted criminal for forging cheques and stringing multiple identities to suit the lifestyle that he visions for himself. Hank's character then ends up chasing after Frank to arrest him as part of his job at the FBI. This was a great watch and was beautifully shot by Spielberg.

Film #37: THE ENGLISH TEACHER (2013)

This was pure American cheese, the plot isn't as predictable as normal American romcoms and it took me the whole film to realise that one of the  main characters (Michael Angarano) was in Sky High! I wouldn't watch this film again.

Film #36: BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961)

This is an extremely iconic film and so I know I should do a detail review but I liked the film and can understand it's importance to society. This is short but sweet!

Film #35: ANNA KARENINA (2012)

What a peculiar film! It was a strange narrative but made sense. However the filming was so symbolic that at some points it became confusing to watch. There were some amazing performances from Jude Law and Keira Knightly. Also the costumes and shooting of the film were breathtaking, although this hasn't been my favourite period drama/romance film to date.

Film #34: CASTAWAY (2000)

This was a beautiful film that was amazing to watch. Of course it was though, any film that Tom Hanks does is awesome and always really good. The film is based around Hanks' character being cast away (hence the title) after his plane crashed, he's then left alone on a deserted island and battles to get home. However he finds some washed up packages that drift ashore from the crash and in one of the packages contains a Wilson ball which he then starts talking to and goes a little bit mad from having no company and from living in horrible conditions for almost a year before he devises a plan to go home. I honestly loved this film, Hanks' emotions were completely felt by the audience it was a truly mesmerizing performance!

Film #33: MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1944)

This was a strange film, it was a lovely romance but was extremely bizarre as everything happened in the last 5mins after a long time of nothing major happening. It was beautiful music with the wonderful voice of Judy Garland. I'm kinda at a crossroads as to whether I enjoyed it or not, as on the one hand I wouldn't mind watching it again but on the other hand I thought it dragged and I can't see myself being in the mood to want to watch it. However I thought it was really nicely shot and constructed and was definitely easy to follow, as well as it not containing too many songs, which can often be a problem with some musicals as there are so many songs that it then makes the narrative hard to follow.
