My favourite part of the list was this, because it was what I get like doing once I'd found out all these films were that old!

"Neu! has to represent Cluster, Conny Plank, Kraftwerk, David Bowie, Brian Eno. It's an extraordinary piece of work. I was introduced to it when I first went to art college. There was a guy called Tony Fowler who was the polytechnic DJ and he was a little bit older that everybody else. I wheedled my way in and became the sorcerer's apprentice or whatever, thinking I could get my taste on there instead. He played me this and at the time I was very confused by it. I thought I was quite... I listened to Captain Beefheart and Pink Floyd and good stuff, but this was really challenging, the minimalism I guess. I can honestly say it didn't make me go, 'Aha! This is ze future!', but many years later, after I'd had it in the car stereo, I remember Klara saying, 'Papa, you've been playing 'Hallogallo' for two years, can we hear something else?' I was going: 'But it fits! It fits! It's perfect every time!'"

Not a Good Follow Up

I enjoyed the first Ultimate Avengers Animated movie but the sequel seemed to lack the punch the first the one did. There were a couple of story lines I did not care for. The first one was Captain America and Black Panther having the same antagonist. That part of the story seemed weak to me. The next was not an enough Hulk for me. Yes I am a big Hulk fan and I am little biased when it comes to him. They killed off Antman and Tony Stark wore the War Machine armor. Two more aspects of this movie I did not like. The most intriguing thing to me was Thor and his vision of the Avengers all dead. Overall you don't have to watch this movie as a sequel to the first. It's not the worst movie but I can do without it.

12 Strong tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11; under the leadership of a new captain, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down the Taliban.

This was definitely a film for the guys... and I say that because it was me and about ten lads in the cinema for this screening.

The cast of actors were brilliant, and it really felt like the story was performed with respect. It showed the sides of missions that we can only speculate about, so I really hope this one was done accurately.

One thing I did wonder... did they give Hemsworth coloured contacts for after his first battle? Because after all that talk of seeing the toll war takes on a man in his eyes I really felt like I could see the difference... so if they didn't, that script sure was good at sucking me in.
