NEW THIS WEEK
The
smash hit Marvel series continues in this latest cosmic adventure. Picking up
where the first film left off, Volume 2 follows the Guardians as
they continue to travel the galaxies as defenders and guns for hire. When one
job goes south, the team is force to go on the run. Along their journey they
finally meet Peter Quill’s (Chris Pratt) long lost father (Kurt Russel) who
seems to have mysterious secrets of his own.
We Said: “Guardians
of the Galaxy Vol. 2 wanders, but that doesn't mean it's lost. [Writer/Director
James] Gunn has a lot to say about the families we are born with and those we
choose, a theme that's likely to carry on to the inevitable sequel. Of course
there will be a sequel. Fans would riot if there wasn't, and Gunn has done a
pretty good job of giving the fans everything they could want while telling a
story that builds on what came before. Most of all, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
is summer blockbuster fun done the Marvel way.” Rating: 3.5 out of 5
AMC’s
massively popular zombie survival show returns more brutal than ever. Season
Seven not only reveals the cliffhanger question of who Negan (Jeffrey Dean
Morgan) killed, but follows its fallout, as the Survivors are rocked to their very
core and must reluctantly serve their new vicious leader. Of course Rick
Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) won’t stay down for long, and soon an all out war
begins to build for control of their forged community.
In
the second season of the DC Comics adventure series, Kara (AKA Supergirl) and
her team face a whole host of new problems. Not only does the powerful
LuthorCorps’ Project Cadmus build power and threaten the future of Metropolis,
but a near constant string of
extraterrestrial threat put earth in jeopardy too, and its up to Kara to stop
them. Adding to the drama is Mon-El, a survivor and prince from Krypton's
neighboring planet Daxam, who’s interested in Kara for more than just her
powers.
