So it's been 22 years since the first one, 18 years since the second one and 14 years since the third but doesn't tie-in with the second and third. Been a dinosaurs age in coming...

So this is the last time we'll see the Avengers as we know them...

Yes, you read that right. Which if it surprised you then that fact surprises me. Although, I guess only hardcore fans of Marvel and the Marvel movies would know this. Me, I just kept reading up on stuff. So yeah, this is the last time you'll see the Avengers as they are now. The next time there's an Avengers movie, it'll be a different line-up. So no more of Tony Stark's wisecracks or Thor's weird way of saying things or misunderstanding our earthly ways and customs. As for who joins up as the next Avengers? Well, you can find that out yourselves.

I HAD A CHOICE BETWEEN WATCHING THE PREVIEW SCREENING OF DEMONIC OR DIVERGENT. I CHOSE THE ONE SHOWING ON IMAX...

So yeah, Divergent was showing on IMAX also I checked out the IMDB page for both movies and both had early ratings out and Divergent was much higher. Also I'm sort of tired of watching horror movies because they're pretty much the same thing, same story, same scare tactics. And since Demonic was done by pretty much the same folks that did a number of horror movies I saw last year I figured might as well try for something new or new-ish.

Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy

What’s it about?

 They don't really look like this in the movie..

 

From IMDB : 

“After stealing a mysterious orb in the far reaches of outer space, Peter Quill, a half human/half alien is now the main target of a manhunt led by the villain known as Ronan the Accuser. To help fight Ronan and his team and save the galaxy from his power, Quill creates a team known as the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to save the world.”

What does this lowly terran think of this space romp?
