Because getting the Spider-Man: Homecoming dvd has put me in the mood. Incidentally, one of the extended scenes is an "Extended Cut" of Peter's home movie that sums up his part of Civil War, and in which we find out that, since as opposed to everyone else involved this wasn't an angsty occasion for him and he was still on an adrenaline high post- ( Read more... )

Bruce Banner themed Avengers recs:

Flavor Name Pending: takes a bit of amusing trivia from Infinity Wars - the ice cream flavors named after various Avengers - and uses it for a lovely character study of Tony Stark and his friendship with the absent Bruce Banner.

Rome

Quid pro Quo Antony/Vorenus is my slash pairing of choice in Rome, and this is a both funny and sexy example of why. Premise: a young Vorenus asks his new superior for permission to marry Niobe. Icing on the cake: the mystery author actually uses the fact ( Read more... )

The hype being that it's completely unlike other superhero based tv and movie versions of recent years and takes a truly original approach to its subject while also ( Read more... )

Never having watched one of the Wolverine solo movies before, it was the trailer which made me watch this one, the trailer promising a) Charles Xavier as played by Patrick Stewart, b) Logan & young girl, which is the most appealing aspect of any incarnation of Wolverine, both in comics and on the screen, and c) road trip.

I'm loving that Mystique is so prominent (Raven's arc through these movies is probably going to end up as my favourite, unless this one is radically different from the two previous ones; also, I love Jennifer Lawrence in the role), and that Moira is back ( Read more... )

Courtesy of dvd releases and the extreme heat meaning lots of time in doors:

Aka the one with 30 additional minutes, of which those featuring Anna Paquin as Rogue are actually not that many. (It's still only a cameo appearance.) This said, there's some good additional character stuff in both time lines there. ( All of which is spoilery for DoFP. )
