Avengers: Age of Ultron

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Age_of_Ultron
♣♣♣♣♣/♣♣♣♣♣

The Avengers charge into Eastern Europe to retrieve Loki’s scepter in war-torn Sokovia, where they come face to face with Hydra’s secret weapon, the twins Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pietro Maximoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). To quote Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), “He’s fast and she’s weird”, and she effectively utilizes this weirdness to play a key role in manipulating the team by giving them a glimpse of their greatest fears. So strong is that of Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) that it prompts him to pursue his Ultron initiative, an AI defense system that will put the weight of the world’s worries out of their shoulders. Proving to be hostile and overwhelming JARVIS in the process, Ultron goes rogue and decides that it’s time to cleanse the Earth of what has been plaguing it since forever: Humans. But first, he must get rid of everyone in his way, mainly The Avengers.

You're My Boss

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You're_My_Boss
♣♣♣♣/♣♣♣♣♣

When her infamous breakdown video at the airport goes viral, Marketing Head Georgina (Toni Gonzaga) sets out to salvage what is left of her reputation, whatever the cost. In her last ditch attempt to seal a critical deal with an important client, she makes up for the absence of the company president by forcing his assistant, Pong (Coco Martin), to pretend to be him, spinning an intricate web of lies that will probably come back to haunt them later on. As the two of them switch roles, what starts off as mutual hatred slowly turns into admiration, but their blossoming love affair does not come without obstacles. She is still hung up on her ex-obsession, and when he comes back for a second shot, she is forced to choose between something that she has always wanted but never had and something relatively new yet real enough to be called love.
