The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
After seeing The Avengers twice, it seems like the entire concept of combining the Iron Man, Thor, and the Captain America franchises along with all of their supporting characters into one massive movie seems like a kick-ass idea with no chance of failure. But back in the late nineties that concept represented some pretty audacious […]
As a non-comic book reader, my history and knowledge about The Avengers and its characters isn’t that great and often consists of only one viewing of each of their individual movies. On the way to the theater my husband was quizzing me about the other movies so he could make sure I understood what had happened […]
I love it when a plan comes together. In one of the most ambitious film proposals in recent memory, The Avengers has finally arrived and paid off greatly. Setting itself up back in 2008 with Iron Man and adding on layers through the other four Marvel Comic films that have come since, the massive gamble […]
It’s easy to write off sentiment. Having a sweet-natured sensibility is apparently a negative for films that wear their hearts on their sleeves these days. I don’t feel this way when the film is both effective and presents more than just these qualities. Before seeing Spielberg’s beautifully made War Horse, I had recently seen The […]

Called “spectacular” (USA Today), “thrilling, entertaining and cool” (Ain’t It Cool News) the phenomenal screen debut of the legendary God of […]
Summer, 2011, is an important time for Marvel Studios. Both Thor and Captain America are going to hit theaters, and they have been designed to build into the Avengers movie that will be released in 2012. A dense movie universe, with so much history and comic mythology behind it, has not been attempted before, so […]
As I mentioned before, Marvel Studios owned Hall H Saturday night at Comic-Con 2010 and they followed up the Captain America panel with a little film about the mighty “God of Thunder,” Thor. I have to admit, at first I had my reservations about how they were going to pull this mythical film off, but […]
