With advance ticket sales breaking the one-day record originally held by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Hunger Games is predicted to be the next teen cinema sensation. Sexy young cast? Check. Kick-arse leading lady? Check. Love triangle? Check. All the ingredients are there with a healthy sprinkling of hype… but does the flick live up to expectations?

A love story is both a physical and emotional tale, one that can be deeply personal and heartbreaking for an audience to experience. Director Drake Doremus’ film Like Crazy beautifully illustrates how your first real love is as thrilling and blissful as it is devastating. When a British college student (Felicity Jones) falls for her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) they embark on a passionate and life-changing journey only to be separated when she violates the terms of her visa.

Charting the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other mutants to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
