SIDELINE: MORE REVIEWS FOR 4/12

IN THEATRES...

* The Avengers, the film at pole position for the summer blockbuster season. Joss Whedon delivers a big budget aventure with great characters and even better action.

* The Cabin in the Woods, a fun puzzle of horror and comedy. Avoid info on this one, just go! (Whedon also writes this one.)

* Damsels in Distress, it's Whit Stillman to the rescue in the director's first movie in 14 years.

* The Deep Blue Sea, beauty and heartbreak in a new film from Terence Davies. Starring Rachel Weisz.

* The Five-Year Engagement, an uneven romantic comedy with genuine laughs and heavy sentiment. Starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt. 

ON DVD/BD...

* Roadie, Michael Cuesta's middle-aged rock 'n' roll drama has sharp writing and sharper performances.

* Something to Live For, featuring Ray Milland in an unofficial sequel to The Lost Weekend.
