"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.

       A movie debuted last weekend outside the top three that definitely deserves honorable mention that movie is  "Dead Man Down". The movie stars Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace and is directed by Niels Arden Oplev, director of the original "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

   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.

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.

"Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome" newly released on DVD/Bluray shows how Adama, fresh out of the military academy, undertakes a perilous first mission into Cylon controlled space that could change the course of the of a war that humanity is losing.

   The 3D animated family comedy "Escape from Planet Earth" opened this past weekend just outside the top three movies, yet I feel it deserves a mention because the he clever twist on the classic sci-fi tale of aliens coming to the planet.

 "Silent Hill: Revelation" is a successful horror movie based on a successful video game franchise. The movie is disturbing as the video game especially since much of the imagery used in the movie is pulled from the game, definitely the stuff of nightmares.

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                    

 

 

 

     Arrow, the most-watched series on the CW network has been renewed for a second season. The show is that rare gem of a show that while based on the character from the comics, it does not follow the comics. This is the character from a fresh perspective and it works like a charm.  The recently released Mid Season trailer is an action packed look at scenes from the show, some which have yet to be aired. The trailer ends with the jaw dropping scene from last week's episode where Oliver confronts the one villian he never expected or imagined, his own mother.
