Here's a wrap-up of the films we've seen this fortnight:

- The Other Woman: It's like a pre-menopausal First Wives Club. Despite this, the film has a heap of LOL moments & will make a great date night movie!

- Captain America The Winter Soldier: An awesome sequel that sets up the 3rd film nicely. Keep watching after the credits for a few Marvel secrets.

- Fading Gi**lo: Written & directed by John Turturro, who also stars as a gi**lo that gets pimped out by Woody Allen. It's a light-hearted film that an older audience will appreciate.

- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Rise Of Electro: A cinema full of Spidey Fan-boys were applauding at the end of this screening! Must be good if you can keep these guys happy. I thought it was fun, but a little paint-by-numbers.

Next fortnight we have preview screenings of Transcendence, The Double, The Zero Theorem and Bad Neighbors.

Centurions, your pics have been released! (Underground Cinema never fails to impress!!)

Underground Cinema’s 2014 season began with a visit to Ancient Rome where over 2,000 Melburnians and Sydneysiders took up the call to join the Empire.

Melbourne UGCers adventured through a Roman market place, created in the secret location of ACCA, Southbank, where they browsed and bartered, then leisured in the lap of luxury at Pontius’ Palace, while some even joined a Secret Sect plotting against the Roman occupation before they congregated in the arena for a gladiatorial spectacle, the secret film; Monty Python’s cult comedy classic: Life of Brian.

With laughs a plenty, UGCers were definitely able to look on the bright side of life!

Valete citizens, and see you next time, but remember, shhh…it’s a secret!
