Marvel Studios
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Starbucks of film franchises, a brand that became famous for giving the public what it wanted while using its huge profits to spread its influence across the globe. Whether in print, on television or at your local multiplex, the Mighty Marvel is inescapable.
This is both a good and bad thing. Good because, at the time of writing, Marvel Studios has yet to produce as soulless a picture as George Lucas’ Howard The Duck. Bad because, as Jennifer Lawrence fans know, familiarity breeds contempt.
Since 2008, there have been 11 McU features, with another 11 slated for future release. 2014 gave us Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians Of The Galaxy, which between them grossed $1.5 billion. If the McU were sugar, your mother would freak out.

★★☆☆☆ Released today on DVD, Tim Burton's Big Eyes (2014) stars Amy Adams as Margaret Keane (née Ulbrich), a woman we first encounter on the brink of divorce. It's the late 1950s and, with her daughter in tow, Margaret forsakes the colour-coded conformity of suburbia for a new life in the big city, painting furniture during the week and selling her own art at weekends. It's at an art fair that she first meets Brian Keane, played by Christoph Waltz, a charming charismatic salesman full of the giddy enthusiasm of art, the happy amateur brimming over with his time on the Left Bank in Paris and vaguely ashamed of his day job as a successful realtor.
