So, my dissertation has been submitted and I can now regain control of my life. Hurrah! One way that I plan to utilise my new found time is by going to the cinema and checking out the films I have been wanting to see for weeks and weeks! There is so many films I want to see but below are a few of the films that I REALLY want to see within the next few weeks.

| Avengers Assemble (2012) |
The first film that I plan to watch is the superhero manifesto, Avengers Assemble. I never watched Iron Man or the Hulk when the films were released. To be honest, I wasn't really ever a fan of superhero movies; they were so predictable and had such a repetitive narrative. But, alas, I found myself converting after watching Thor and Captain America. I loved Thor. And the movie. Definitely one of the best films I watched in 2011. So I was immediately wanting to watch Avengers and have waited patiently since last summer to see this film and cannot wait to see if it lives up to all of the hype surrounding it. But I can't lie, I'm ridiculously excited about seeing it this week.

| Dark Shadows (2012) |
The next film that I'm not sure if I'm excited about or just intrigued about seeing is Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. This film's directed by Tim Burton and nobody creates Gothic creations as well as Tim Burton. I'm pretty sure that the premise of the movie is something along the line of Johnny Depp, who's a vampire, being buried centuries before by a witch and being unearthed and resurrected in the present day. I'm not sure and I can't say I have a burning desire to see this film, but I do enjoy Tim Burton's films so I figure it's worth a watch. I like watching movies that I can just sit back, relax and enjoy. After all, what else is a movie for if not for escapism?

| What To Expect When You're Expecting (2012) |
If there's one form of movie that I love the most it's a good comedy. I love a film that physically makes me laugh out loud. I have a feeling this film could make me do just that. Cameron Diaz does comedy fantastically. She was hilarious in Bad Teacher last year. Although some people question Jennifer Lopez's acting ability, she is a good actress. I think she was best in Monster-in-Law opposite Jane Fonda. Fantastic film. This film features an ensemble cast including Matthew Morrison, Chace Crawford as well as a cameo appearance from Cheryl Cole. That should be interesting. But again, this film will pacify me I think. I'm not expecting Oscar-worthy performances from this movie, but I am expecting great comedy.

| SWATH (2012) |
Now this film has got me SERIOUSLY excited. This movie has been publicised for months, with various trailers circulating the internet. From what I have seen, Charlize Theron looks like she is going to be fantastic as the Evil Queen. She exudes cruelty and malice but in such a seductive way. Chris Hemsworth stars as the Huntsman; my second dose of Chris Hemsworth in less than two months. He's making his mark in Hollywood. Not bad for a former Home & Away export. My only criticism is that Kristen Stewart stars at Snow White. I really do not know how out of all the talented, Hollywood actresses Kristen Stewart was the ONLY one that fit the criteria the director was searching for. I think she's a terrible actress and she seems so miserable all of the time. Maybe this could be the film to change my opinion on her? Chances are slim but stranger things have happened.
So, that's the four films that I'm determined to see within the next few weeks. Now that I've regained my life, I look forward to blogging my verdict.
