"Zero Dark Thirty", a candidate for a Best Movie Oscar also releases on DVD/ Bluray today. The movie is lauded for being a whole lot more than anyone expected. Especially, when you consider we all know the ending to the story.
There is another movie that features magic, a really impressive cast, and is not a comedy. The movie "Now You See Me" has a cast which features Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo and also includes Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. Nuff said.

This May, almost coinciding with the theatrical release of "Iron Man 3", Disney XD is debuting "Marvel's Avengers Assemble".The show will debut with a special one hour preview on May 26 followed by the series premiere on July 7 Unlike the previous series, "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" which was extremely popular among the fanbase. This animated show will focus on characters from the movie "The Avengers". Added to that mix is The Falcon a character from the comics with strong ties to both Captain America and The Avengers. No indication at this time if we will be seeing fan faves from the previous series like The Black Panther, Ms.Marvel, The Vision, or even Ant-Man and the Wasp.
"Upside Down" starring Jim Sturges and Kirsten Dunst is about a forbidden romance between two people from two different worlds ... literally. This is a brilliant concept and the trailer looks amazing. Check it out.

According to Latino Review, the guys who broke the news when Brandon Routh was cast in "Superman Returns" and Heath Ledger was cast as 'The Joker' in "The Dark Knight", Director Christopher Nolan has been asked by Warner Bros. to take over the troubled "Justice League" film project. The word is that Nolan who directed "The Dark Knight" trilogy and is producing "The Man of Steel" will produce the film and turn to directing over to Zack Snyder who is already at the helm of "The Man of Steel". There are also indications "Dark Knight" trilogy writer David Goyer will provide script and story. Imagine the excitement at the possibility that Christian Bale will return as Batman. Bale had said he was done with the character unless Christopher Nolan was involved. Latino Review has a really good track record so this news has created quite a lot of excitement among the fans.
