7 Movies Still To Come in 2016

Blockbuster season may be done and dusted, but that doesn't mean we're short on movies to look forward to. Spring has sprung and that can only mean one thing - awards season is kicking into gear! 

So whilst we're all looking forward to films like Doctor Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and Rogue One, I thought I'd preview some of the smaller, more Oscar-centric films from the next four months that I'm excited for.

Which spring flicks are you pumped to see? Let me know in the comments section down below!

Top 5: Boxing Films

Few sports enjoy as rich a relationship with cinema than boxing. A sport that explores the entire human spectrum of emotion, from dizzying highs (Rocky) and spiralling, disparaging lows (Raging Bull), boxing isn’t just rich with tales of legendary heroes (We Were Kings), it’s also hugely cinematic in real life; how many other sports can draw crowds as far reaching and diverse as Mayweather v Pacquiao did in May earlier this year?

To coincide with the release of Antoine Fuqua’s new boxing drama Southpaw, I decided to take a look at some the greatest bouts ever put to film. So pull on your gloves, grit your teeth and step into the ring for my picks for Top 5 boxing films ever made.

Film Review: American Sniper

American Sniper is a biopic about the deadliest sniper in US military history, Chris Kyle. Across four tours in Iraq, Kyle (who is played by Bradley Cooper) racked up over 160 confirmed kills and saved the lives of countless American soldiers.

Directed by Clint Eastwood and nominated for six Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Actor for Cooper), American Sniper is a slick but simplistic look into the psyche of Kyle, one that feels a little too skin-deep to really hit home.
