Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Another marvellous masterpiece from Marvel. If you're a fan of the genre I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did, if not, well I guess it's your loss. When Tony Stark convinces Bruce a banner to help him kick start an unfinished peace keeping programme called Ultron all kind a of hell is released and it's up to our favourite team of superheroes to restored order to the world. These films are some of the best kind of escapism you can imagine, it's all totally unbelievable but so terribly exciting to watch. Someone once asked me which was my favourite Avenger and I thought about that as I was watching tonight and I've come to the conclusion that's a question that should never be asked. Although the actors are looking somewhat older these days I am convinced there are another couple of Avenger films In all of them, after all Han Solo is about to return in Star Wars. I reckon this film is worth another watch, shame I missed it in 3D.



Furious 7

This was a really good movie, kind of made me tear up at the end because how Paul Walker lost his life during the making of the film. And I love how all of the characters were in this one as well. It is probably best to see these movies in the theater with all that surround sound to keep your blood pumping and on the edge of your seat... Or if you have surround sound in the comfort of your home that is even better!! I would definitely recommend this movie to other people. Was really worth my time, the film was kind of long, but it still was a good movie! Normally I'd hesitate to watch movies when they have more than 2.. But all of the fast and furious movies were great. Hope that they come up with another one.



Fifty Shades Of Grey

I think this movie has been greatly misunderstood. I absolutely loved this movie! I enjoyed the book, but like many thought it was very badly written and the whole 'inner goddess' think kind of ruined the story. Besides that, I wasn't a fan of Anastasia, but I rarely like the main character in a book. I think the movie is the best possible version of the book. The director did a great job - eliminating all the annoying stuff from the book and turning it into a fantastic love story with just the right amount of sex to spice it up. I believe there is no other movie like this out there and I'm sure I'll watch it many more times in the future. I agree that the acting was bad at times, but I loved Dakota Johnson overall - she actually made me like Anastasia. I was very disappointed at first when I heard Charlie Hunnam was replaced by Jamie Dornan, but I was pleasantly surprised by him. He might be a bit 'goofy' at times, and not dangerous enough to play Christian Grey, but I still think he added just enough 'darkness' to his character - in particular in the final scene which I thought was incredible. Yes - you could argue that the movie is controversial in terms of abuse, although it was consensual,(I disagree completely with rape - Ana was never raped) but it's a work of fiction and if you've read the books, you know the dynamics are going to change.
