 I went to Cineworld Loughborough to see Avengers Infinity War. It was showing at 7pm. Obviously there would be ads and trailers. If was busy. The ticket machines were occupied. £6.50 for an adult. £7 for regular salty popcorn and Pepsi Max. It was busy. I was in Screen 4. There wasn't much choice in seating as most were booked up. I had an awkward one C6. Near to the screen and at an angle. Strain on my neck and eyes. A long film. Over 2 hours I estimated. Carries on from where Ragnarok left off. Plenty of action, swearing, violence, humour and special effects. It is darker than the previous films. Blows Justice League out of the water. Thanos is after the remaining Infinity Stones. Each controls an element. There are many characters from the Marvel universe. Lots of locations. The Guardians and Avengers want to stop Thanos and save the world. Not everyone will make it out alive. Surprised at how it pans out. I recommend that you go see it. I will watch it again on DVD sometime. The post credit scene is short. See my Coheed And Cambria - Welcome Home post for other comic book films. Excellent cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Josh Brolin, Karen Gillan, Samuel L Jackson, Don't Cheadle, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Benedict Wong, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper. Amazon Asia



 I rented Thor Ragnarok. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Karl Urban, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Jeff Goldblum, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, Benedict Cumberbatch. I was impressed with the trailer. Nice soundtrack and a different theme to previous Marvel films. Impressive special effects. A funny film from the off set. There is a character made of rock that has really good dialogue. See more of Hulk. Great banter between characters. Take a look the reaction videos once you have seen the film. Hela hath no fury like a woman scorned. Asgard is in mortal danger. On another realm The Grandmaster is holding a tournament. I like this the best out of the trilogy. This film leads onto Infinity War. I recommend that you see this.
 I am watching Thor which I had seen before. Just revisiting it as I had seen Ragnarok and Infinity War.

12 YEARS A SLAVE. cert 15 drama 2014

I've just seen some great trailers for films I'll indeed be catching up on: Dallas Buyers Club, Tracks, Calvery. A film by Steve McQueen. Based on a true story. You might like Bamboozled, Amistad, The Butler. Won some awards. 1841 Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejifor) a free black man, that'd been kidnapped and sold to slavery. The plantation owner (Michael Fassbender) has purchased Soloman. There is a chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt). A steller cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o. Music by Hans Zimmer. I'm liking the theme song. Special Feature a are a doc looking at the creative team behind the film and also watch Han Zimmer as he composes the soundtrack. There was a mild sex scene. Shot from a sideways position. The book is for sale. Solomon a violinist is offered a job in Washington. There are flashback scenes. Transported to Georgia. Strong language and violence. Solomon's message is delivered to future generations. I wonder what he'd make of President Obama. 

Twelve Years A Slave by Solomon Northup. I'd seen the film and so decided on the book. This is a true story. Solomon's memoirs will leave a message to future generations. Obviously it goes into more detail than the film. I recommend you check out both. A young violinist is under false pretences taken to Washington DC to perform at a circus. But he had been kidnapped and sold into slavery down south. I'm selling this on Amazon/Ebay in a few months. Kept in mint condition. First published in 1853. EAN 9780007580422 paperback published by Harper Collins. Was £2.50 in Waterstones. Pollypunk:No Prejudice.
