    Marvel has released these promotional teaser posters for both Thor and Captain America that will be featured at Comic-Con.

The action film scored a 47% on Rottentomatoes.com, which is a bit surprising to me. Pastapadre reviewed the film and gave it only 1 1/2 stars, so needless to say it might not even worth a rental. Here is the full release schedule broken up by standard DVD and Blu-ray: (more…)...

    Inception made $61.4 million this weekend exceeding most expectations. The Christopher Nolan project starring Leonardo DiCaprio (review here) opened at the high end of industry predictions which had pegged it as heading for a $40-60 million weekend. While its take won't stand out as a huge number on its own consider that it is the 10th highest grossing opening weekend for an original film in history.

    Once it was confirmed that Edward Norton would not be returning as The Hulk in The Avengers the first rumor to make its way out on who could be the replacement was a bizarre one regarding Joaquin Phoenix. Now though we may have a better idea of who Marvel is looking to cast and it is someone that comes across as a more traditional fit. Mark Ruffalo is currently the target to take on the role of Bruce Banner which would bring him into the ensemble cast of The Avengers that includes Robert Do...
