Seeing Tomorrowland caused a realization of how much Disney’s taken over cinema (particularly from viewing its trailers).

Quick Update (Ideas & Thoughts)
Hey there readers, I've been really

week! As an extra bonus, here’s the
release schedule, plus which films I’ll be reviewing:
Tomorrowland
(Sunday, May 31st)
Clouds
of Sils Maria (Tuesday, April 2nd)
Pitch
Perfect 2 (edit: sorry, but it'll end up being Sunday rather than Thursday)
See you then!

Avengers: Age of Ultron (Film Review)
Ah, The Avengers; the glue that holds the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU) together. Marvel Studios took a risk creating such a connecting franchise, but it’s paid off both critically and financially, with the MCU ranking as the highest-grossing franchise in the world. Now after three years of waiting, plus 4 in-between films, the much anticipated sequel has finally arrived; yet the question remains, does it hold up? As of now, if I were to make a scale of my favorite to least favorite MCU films (with The Avengers/Iron Man on top, and Thor: Dark World/Iron Man 2 at the bottom), Avengers: Age of Ultron would find itself in the middle. It’s definitely good, perhaps even very good; director Joss Whedon maintains the core ingredients to an effective MCU film: a solid amount of action sequences, balanced alongside unique character interactions/developments and a healthy dose of witty comedy. Yet, yet there’s something off with Age of Ultron which prevents it from achieving the same impact its predecessor has. Whether it’s the film’s darker atmosphere (both cinematic and plot-wise), or how similar the story follows the first’s structure, Avengers: Age of Ultron falls flat in areas it shouldn't.

Top 5 Favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe Films (Film List)
In honor of Marvel Studios releasing Avengers: Age of Ultron, I made a list of my five favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU) films. For clarification, only films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe can qualify; so film series such as Spider-Man (Sony) and X-Men (Fox) are ineligible. As of now (excluding Age of Ultron) there are ten films in the MCU, from Iron Man to Guardians of the Galaxy.
So without further ado, LET’S BEGIN!!!
