Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is the latest movie to grace the Harry Potter Universe. Focusing on the adventures of Newt Scamander, this installment introduces a magical world outside the London world that we’re used to, opening the doors to a new realm of magic. Set in New York in the 1920’s, Newt Scamander arrives to America for his own reasons, only to have some of his creatures accidentally set loose in the city, threatening the exposure of wizarding folk. 

The Danish Girl

After Eddie Redmayne wowed critics in his award-winning turn last year, everyone was tuning in for his next project. It finds him in The Danish Girl, where he played Einar Wegener, a painter who realizes and unearths his true being in the form of Lili. This revelation plays a big part in his relationship with his wife, played by Alicia Vikander, and how it affects her.

The Theory of Everything

Making my way through the list of nominees, The Theory of Everything immediately screams ‘Oscar bait’. It’s a biopic about one of the most renowned minds of science wrapped in an emotional, personal basket as his life with his first wife was explored. It’s very worthy of its nomination, as it boasts a well-rounded film with wonderful performances from the leads, as well as their supporting characters.

Why do the people I love always leave me?

This movie has been on my to-watch list for an awfully long time and it’s only now that I had the time to sit through a biopic about one of Hollywood’s iconic celebrities, Marilyn Monroe. She led a rather eventful life, which came into an end when she died at a ripe age of 36. Even as years past, no one could forget the blonde bombshell that made her name in Hollywood’s limelight.
