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.

Bond, James Bond! Famous words that have surfaced in 22 movies that date back to 1962. The first film was titled Dr. No with the excellent Sean Connery portraying super spy agent 007 James Bond. Connery played the part for six movies and many still think he was the best Bond! Then came Roger Moore who did 007 proud for seven more Bond films. Titles have always been unique such as Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, Live and Let Die, Octopussy, and The Spy Who Loved Me. Since the last Roger Moore version of 007 back in 1985 there have been several more who took on the daunting task of playing James Bond but none can compare to Moore and Connery! Daniel Craig (The Golden Compass, Cowboys & Aliens) is a modern spy who has plenty to offer by way of sex appeal and Skyfall is his third film in the series. Joining him are Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men, Eat Pray Love) as the movie's villain, and Judith Dench (Shakespeare in Love) who plays "M" for this her seventh Bond film.

The cinematographic version of adventures of a character named Solomon Kane, invented by Robert Howard (author of "Conan the Barbarian"), is a thick mix of the mud, blood, religious fanaticism and the ever-popular theme of zombies. Solomon Kane, unlike Van Helsing, who is here hinted at, basically, a cloak and hat, posed in a much more serious condition: he does not fight with single semi-comic characters like philoprogenitive Dracula or shrek-looking Mr. Hyde. He is opposed to evil as such, evil emanating from the enemy of the human race. This struggle involves bonfires, crucifixion, and the maximum concentration, and the religion, which naturally excludes all there worldly pleasures like love, joy, and throwing in witty remarks.
