Backtrack: The Best and Worst of May Entertainment

So maybe it was the most predictable death in all of comic-book movie history, but it's still devastating when Gwen Stacy falls to her death and Spider-Man's web is too late to save her. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield's chemistry is the heart of this series, so hopefully we haven't said goodbye to all its appeal.

It was a bloody season for cancellations, but the saddest news was perhaps about Community. Perpetually on the bubble, it still seemed like the little comedy that could was going to make it toward its goal of #sixseasonsandamovie, but it was not to be. We feel your pain.

X-Men: Days of Future Past could have been a big mess, what with the most recent generation of mutants meeting the original cast. But the plot made sense and didn't feel too forced, and it was a delight to see the mix of actors like James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman, and Patrick Stewart all in one place. And we didn't even mention the other movie MVPs: Jennifer Lawrence and Evan Peters. Long live the X-Men!

We're still in hard-core denial over Damon's death on the season finale of The Vampire Diaries — so much so that we're still questioning it. We're reflecting on how much we love Ian Somerhalder's character, but the hardest thing is still ahead of us: we have to wait a whole Summer before we find out his fate.

The Cannes Film Festival isn't just a photo op for beautiful people on a beautiful background, it's also where the buzz for a lot of big movies begins. This year, the most praise came for Foxcatcher, a thriller that had people raving over Channing Tatum and Steve Carell's performances. But not all movies were as lucky: Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, Lost River, earned the infamous Cannes audience boos.

We get that Frozen is a huge pop culture phenomenon right now, but in the realm of fairy tales, it's a newbie, and it doesn't really fit in the world of Once Upon a Time. Still, Disney's latest heroine showed up on the season finale for no apparent reason. We love Elsa, but we aren't looking forward to how she'll be shoehorned in — it's time to focus on Hook and Emma, not a new character!

Congratulations, reigning champion.

The first half of Mad Men's final season, was, not surprisingly, not so bonkers, focusing more on Don's struggle to reclaim his place at the agency. The one crazy moment? When Michael Ginsberg, once a brilliant creative, succumbs to his paranoia over the office's new computer. In an effort to reclaim his manhood, he gives Peggy his nipple. Which he had cut off. Yep.

Re-creating fairy tales is all the rage these days, but Angelina Jolie makes the latest storybook reboot worth seeing. She's so chilling, so menacing, and so beautiful as the Sleeping Beauty baddie. It's like she was born for this.

Modern Family closed out its most recent season with a wedding, and sure, it's rare to see a gay wedding on TV, but that's not why this one was so special. These are two characters we've come to know well and a relationship we love to watch, so we felt like we were at a friend's wedding. And when Jay decides to walk Mitchell down the aisle? Crying like a little girl.
