  Rowen and Citra were two ordinary teens living their lives. They came into contact with scythe Faraday (in a world where there is no natural death, they have scythes to “glean” people, which means they can’t die on their own).  He couldn't make up his mind between the two prodigies. He took them both on and trained them, he would decide which one to make a scythe, at an end of year gathering called “conclave” which happens every solstice. Scythe Faraday chose Rowen and Citra, because he knew that they would do their job the right way, and not use the power for their own self-gain or prowess. Faraday knew that Rowen and Citra wouldn’t take any joy in gleaning.  This would affect the way they gleaned as well as the way they would become scythes themselves.  There was a lot of tension between Rowen and Citra at first, but eventually, it ironed itself out.  Scythe Faraday made it very clear that there was to be no romantic feeling between them.  It was hard for both of them at times,

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 The Guardians are back in a fun-filled sequel, with lots more humour and attitude then before.  This movie is more centered around Star Lord (Chris Pratt)and the background of his father.  In the last movie, we heard about how Yondu didn't deliver Quill to his dad, and this movie builds on that. After saving the Galaxy from Ronan, the Guardians decide to be "help for hire," and that usually means that they destroy or get rid of aliens or some other being that is stealing or killing people.  They are hired by the ruler of another planet (Elizabeth Debicki) to kill an alien who is stealing batteries. Unfortunately Rocket (Bradley Cooper), with all his character quirks, steals one of the batteries and then the whole fleet goes after them. Then a mystery star ship takes out the whole fleet with one blast; they crash land on a planet; and they meet Quill's dad.  Ego (Kurt Russell) is a celestial being who seemingly wants to improve th

Their job description is breaking the law,  but just the same, they save the galaxy and they don't have to go to jail.  Despite the rocky road, they become friends, and work together fairly well, all without killing each other.  The Guardians Of The Galaxy is a humor-filled film about five people that meet because a something called the Infinity Stone. This stone seems to be wanted by everybody in the galaxy, specifically Ronan (played by Lee Pace) and some one called The Collector (Benicio Del Toro). Ronan (who is a revenge crazy Kree rogue general), wants to destroy a planet call Zandar, and probably a few other solar systems along the way.  Thanos (Josh Brolin), on the other hand, is an evil titan, who is obsessed with death, which
