We Now Return to our regular scheduled programming.....

Sorry Avid Readers, I've been otherwise preoccupied lately and haven't had a chance to chime in. Lots going on - not just with me, but with MOVIES!! Here's a neat clip from Avengers of Thor fighting Iron Man to start us off:



More cool expensive stuff...

Hot Toys is known for its top-notch collectibles. Coming out this fall are two pieces that are simply jaw-dropping. First, a brand new Superman figure based on Chris Reeve's appearance. Stunning detail and likeness. Secondly, a new Indiana Jones figure referencing the Idol Temple scene at the start of Raiders. From what I read, proceeds from the sale of the Superman figure will go to Chris Reeve's foundation for spinal cord research. Kudos to the company for doing that! Both of these are on my want list...

Chris Reeve Foundation

Best scene in "Superman: The Movie"

While we're on the topic, here's the best (in my opinion) scene in the original Superman film. Chris Reeve's look when he sees the phone booth, combined with Lois' "You've got me - who's got you??" is priceless. It's just a shame they had to re-use the dialogue in the Superman Returns film....

My Favorite Scene in "Batman Begins"

As I noted in my review earlier in the blog, "Batman Begins" is in my opinion one of the best superhero films ever made. There is one scene in particular that stands out as one of the greatest. Another part that always makes me grin, is just after Batman crashes through the window of the subway car. The "I'm going to kick your ass" look on his face is priceless!
