My weekend is starting early this week as me, Jess and Einstein head to the New Forest for a mini getaway – the puppy’s first stay away from home since we first brought him back to ours over a month ago.
There are lots of long walks and pub lunches in store which I’m very excited about – though I am slight gutted I won’t get to see Birds of Prey on its premiere night. Why aren’t doggy cinema’s a thing?
Still, it’s something to look forward to next week, and it’s not the only film on my radar. There are so many movies coming out this year that I can’t wait to see. I’ve made a little list of them all below. Which ones are you most excited for?
