Five Film Releases to get Excited for in 2017

 2017 is set to be an amazing year for cinematography. There are a few releases that we are looking forward to in particular. Here are the top five film releases to look out for in 2017…

1. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

Marvel showed us that we can handle talking raccoons and anthropomorphic trees a couple of years ago. Now, to crank it up a notch, we've got Kurt Russell as a planet and even more dry (read:arid) quips from Drax, new members of the crew and a sweet new fin for Yondu. Somehow, James Gunn has made 'The Empire Strikes Back' of the series so far, with this outing balancing the silliness and humour of the original with more backstory and emotional depth. Absolutely must see.

Watch this if: you’re a fan of the Marvel movies and alive.

5. Beauty and the Beast

This on-screen adaptation of the classic fairy tale features a dark twist. Unlike the story as we know it, the movie of Beauty and the Beast follows a similar style to other adaptations such as Maleficant and Snow White and the Huntsman. With Emma Watson as the lead, the movie has already generated a lot of talk and excitement, and is set to be released on the 17^th of March.
