"Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" is available on Blu-ray/DVD today and I highly recommend that if you haven't seen its predecessor "Justice League: War" that you watch that and follow it up with this one. Really good fun.

"Fantastic Four" teaser recently hit the internet courtesy of 20th Century Fox. This new version of Marvel's first family caused quite a stir when the cast was revealed and as well as some story and character elements. This movie will be hard pressed to find success in a year that already belongs to the highly anticipated "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
 
                                                                                 

"Peanuts" return to the big screen this year in their first animated feature film in over two decades, This feature will bring us the favorite lovable characters in a CG animated feature. Looking forward to watching Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang as they take on a whole new dimension.

"iZombie" is another DC Universe character that is making the jump to the small screen. Liv is a young woman who works in the coroners office which is ideal since she's a zombie and it gives her easy access to fresh brains. She also helps solve murders since the brains give her flashes of the victim's memories.

Weekend Box Office - “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” was number one for the third weekend in a row bringing in $21.7 million, "Into the Woods" the fantasy musical based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm was second with $18.7 million, followed closely by "Unbroken" the true story of Olympian and WWII prisoner of war Louis Zamperini with $18.2 million.

                                                                              

"Terminator Genisys" is the latest offering in the franchise, and this time they have completely flipped the script. Arnold is back as variety of  Terminators and as Sarah Connor indicates in the trailer "The rules have changed." No kidding!

                                                                                  

                                                                               

"Strange Magic" is an animated fantasy adventure that can hardly be described as typical. Despite a premise that we are all too familiar with the movie goes off on all kinds of tangents. Be warned! This story came from the mind of George Lucas. Draw whatever conclusion you need to from that.

                                                                           

"Ant-Man" had a previous teaser trailer that had to be seen to be believed. I'll just say that unless you could radically increase the magnification on your television or computer screen you wouldn't see no squat. Nice gag, Marvel! Here's the new teaser that's much easier on the vision.
