The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Get ready to bleak it up once again as some teenagers are forced to commit mass murder!

This time, however, the two surviving teenagers from the first movie have to mass murder a bunch of experienced mass murderers instead.

Isn't the "young adult" genre fun?

Catching Fire picks up almost immediately after the end of the first Hunger Games film and spends very little time rehashing or recapping - if you've forgotten something or are inexplicably starting the series at the second film, you're likely to be extremely lost extremely quickly.

Thor: The Dark World

Out of all the Avengers I think Thor probably has to be my favourite, which is why I was so excited to see the big beardy hammerman get a sequel.

Thor: The Dark World follows directly from The Avengers and beardface's first film, with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) crusading around outer space/the Nine Realms cleaning up after his brother Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) mess.

For those not in the know (which is weird. Who goes to see the sequel of two separate movie franchises without seeing both said movies?) Thor was forced to destroy the main mode of transportation around the Nine Realms at the end of the first Thor film.

Elysium

For an original sci-fi blockbuster, you absolutely cannot go past Neill Blomkamp's sophomore flick Elysium.

Set roughly 150 years in the future, Earth has turned into a big smelly dust hole. The natural resources have been used up, there's massive overcrowding, and the poverty line is so high that the only people living above it are in space.

Max (Matt Damon) lives in Los Angeles and dreams of getting into Elysium, the giant orbital station on which the world's elite live.

Problem is, he's an ex-crim who works a factory job, which probably doesn't pay particularly well. Also, he ends up getting a full blast of radiation, which as you know, can seriously put a dent in your five-year plan.

The World's End

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have gone closer to their roots with their venture, The World's End, than either of their previous entries into the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.

The World's End keeps the references to pop culture coming thick and fast while while delivering a slew of laughs wrapped in a narrative inspired by old genre movies.

It's no surprised I loved The World's End, as it has so many similarities to the late 90s sitcom Spaced, which first introduced the world to the combination of Wright, Frost and Pegg.
