Quick question though, even though Guardians of the Galaxy is part of the MCU is it in the same timeline, do I need to see it to make sense of things in Avengers 2 and moving on to Civil War, same with Ant Man I guess but that seems like it at least has connotations of SHIELD in it.

Winter solider is great my second favorite Marvel film after guardians of the Galaxy

I seriously do hope Nord decides to do Comic Book/Superhero films one week for TT. I'd love to see what you do pick.

Tbh a lot of these type of films have less than zero interest to me, have no apeal or interest what so ever like iron man as well.
Ok i like the bag of shite apeal but i cant comment cos ive never seen alot of them, and trailers etc doesnt do anything at all for me to even watch and see if they are shite, but if they go by any of the ones ive tried to watch and turned them of, then the bag of shite makes sense

SYMPTOMS
Jose Larraz's 'lost' film makes it to blu ray and dvd thanks to the BFI Flipside's fantastic range of releases.
Angela Pleasance stars as a woman staying in a country mansion with her friend, who starts to notice Ms Pleasance's increasingly odd behaviour, together with strange sounds and voices at night.
Although there are some shocks, this plays out as more of a slow burning psychological thriller that is a joy to watch.
Fantastic to see the Flipside series back again, particularly with such a strong release.

CROSS ROADS
The late great Christopher Lee is the focus of attention here, in an eerie short tale of revenge that has somehow been unearthed by the BFI.
A real find for fans of Mr Lee and a nice precursor to his imminent shooting to stardom with Hammer ( there is even a Dracula style close up of his eyes at one point! )
Another terrific 'extra' for the Flipside.

I've been fancying that one myself. Even more so now Mojo.

Well, there's a bunch of stuff I need to review (coming soon-ish) but thought I'd jump forward a little to

Captain America: Civil war

Our VUE had a triple bill of all three Cap films so went last night.

All I can say is that its terrific, much better than Age of Ultron and lives up to it's hype. It has similar themes to batman V superman yet it manages to deal with these subjects in a much better way, it didn't feel at all boring in spite of its running time and all character motivations make sense within the film itself.

Also.... BEST.....SPIDEY........EVER!!!!

[Justin101]

I still have to watch Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron before I can go and see it, but I was planning to go On Monday so I have plenty of time, I might even fit Guardians of the Galaxy in as well

Our Vue is doing a Captain America marathon. Both Avengers and all three Cap films in chronological order. Something like 9 in the morning til 10 at night.
