Description

Superheroes are popular and abundant in comic books. Now we find many of them making it onto the big screens, followed up by DVD release for home entertainment. Just as Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor have made a big splash in the live action arena, The Avengers looks to be a big hit and huge money maker for its distributor Walt Disney Pictures. "Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction, Iron Man) is director of S.H.I.E.L.D., an agency for international peacekeeping. When an unexpected enemy threatens global security and safety Fury decides to call on a team of superheroes to save the world. Among his choices are Iron Man Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey, Jr. from Iron Man, Tropic Thunder), the reclusive billionaire industrialist who invents a mechanical suit of armor. Also summoned are Captain America Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans from Captain America: The First Avenger) who's experiments with serums led to his super human physicality, and Dr. Bruce Banner who is the Hulk. Played by Mark Ruffalo from Shutter Island, The Kids Are All Right) the Hulk is somewhat of a "loose cannon" making the other team members leery of his participation. Rounding out the dream team of Avengers is Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth from 2009's Star Trek and A Perfect Getaway) Norse's God of Thunder.

Robin Hood

Robin Hood

Action & Adventure

Robin Hood is a new attempt to take the height set by "Gladiator." And this time the attempt was successful! It has been a long time since such historical thriller of the same ideal proportions, as the "Robin Hood" appeared in the theatres. The movie features fierce battles, which are perfectly balanced by the intrigues of public policy, revenge, romance and pastoral rural life in the family estate. Actor's work by Russell Crowe is perfectly good. Ridley Scott lovingly and painstakingly recreated on screen, the smallest details of everyday life of the Medieval. "The untold story of how man became a legend" - the slogan reads "Robin Hood" and the movie really tells how to become a legend. It's about how a true knight, the best economic manager and a standard of masculinity learned and continued to develop the big ideas of his predecessors.

Bullet to the Head

Bullet to the Head

Action & Adventure

Bullet to the Head is the next Sylvester Stallone's attempt to revive nostalgic feelings of steroid-action movies of 80'. Based on Alexis Nolent's graphic novel Du Plomb Dans La Tete (which could be translated from French exactly like "Bullet to the Head" or "Lead In The Head" as per Google Translator's version) movie's script was rewritten for several times (Sylvester Stallone's is one of the co-authors of storyline) until it was accepted by Warner Brothers. The film's cast is well-thought-out too; while Sylvester Stallone plays Jimmy Bobo a New Orleans hitman witnessed murdering of his partners, Sung Kang plays a cop Taylor Kwon, whose partners were killed too. Teamed up with each other in a kind of unnatural but tough alliance they seek vengeance for these deaths and finally discover a powerful MOB group well accreted in corrupted authority bodies of United States of America. If you've ever thought that 66 is the age closer to cemetery than to Hollywood, you have to take a look on Sylvester Stallone's body – he looks even more "in mood" than at the dawn of his fame. As for Sung Kang, you are probably familiar with most of his filmography which includes such well known films like Fast Five and Fast & Furious 4.
