Captain Marvel (2019) Directors: Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck UK rating: 12A Length: 123 minutes Cast: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn I was lucky enough to see the first showing of Captain Marvel in my local cinema at midnight. I have to say thank you to Amelia for taking me, her boyfriend and her sister with her. The film is set in 1995 and is about Carol Danvers (also known as Vers to her Kree teammates, known as the Starforce). Vers lives on Hala and when the film starts she is in the middle of a battle with her people (the Kree) and the Skrulls. Vers has recurring memories of another life she lived as Carol Danvers, a US Air Force Pilot. With the help of Nick Fury and Maria and Monica Rambeau, Carol starts to remember her past. Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past all while using her superpowers to end the war between the Kree and the Skrulls. If you don’t want to read any spoilers I would click away now! Definitely see the film befo

Five Feet Apart (2019) Director: Justin Baldoni UK Rating: 12A Length: 116 minutes Cast: Haley Lu Richardson, Cole Sprouse, Moises Arias Five Feet Apart is a film that I've waited all my life for. The plot revolves around two teenagers with Cystic Fibrosis, Stella Grant and Will Newman (played by Haley Lu Richardson and Cole Sprouse), who start off as people who can't really stand eachother however end up falling in love by the end of he film. The majority of the film is set in their hospital, on what seems to be a CF ward. Stella is in for routine IVs, whereas Will is in for a trial of a treatment for B. Cepacia (a bacterial infection in the lungs). The two are told to stay over six feet apart from eachother at all times. The two become friends and start breaking the rule, choosing to stay only five feet apart. They do this against all advice from their nurse Barb (Kimberly Hebert Gregory), and with the help of Poe (Moises Arias), another CFer. If you know me then
