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.

MOVIE REVIEW: CHEF (2014)

From IMDB:

Storyline

Carl Casper is an acclaimed chef with a family life that seems as decaying as his artistic freedom. Those frustrations boil over into a raucous viral-videoed public confrontation against a restaurant critic who panned his cooking of food that his boss ordered him to make against his instincts. Now with his career ruined, Carl's ex-wife offers an unorthodox solution in Miami: refit an old food truck to offer quality cooking on his own terms. Now with his young son, Percy, and old colleague, Martin, helping, Carl takes a working trip across America with that truck to rediscover his gastronomic passion. With Percy's tech savvy and Martin's enthusiasm, Carl finds that he is creating a traveling sensation on the way home. In doing so, Carl discovers he is serving up more than simply food, but also a deeper connection with his life and his family that is truly delicious in its own way. - Ratings: 7.5/10 from 20,607 users Metascore: 68/100 Reviews: 144 user | 187 critic | 36 from Metacritic.com
