A new week and a new batch of releases – I’m freshly back in the saddle from a quick trip and ready to get to it…so here are this week’s new releases.

This Week's Big Releases

Home Screening Room - The Vow, Beautiful Wave and a Fantasy Island

This week's Home Screening Room takes us to the Underworld with a Vow to return to Fantasy Island.

The Vow (Rachel McAdams)

This Week’s Big Releases

Underworld: Awakening  – Rated R  (Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, Stephen Rea)
You’ve see the Underworld movies. You know Kate Beckinsale is hot. Since they didn’t show this one to me…that’s all we are going on.

The Vow – Rated PG-13 (Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum)
A tragic accident leaves a new bride struggling to remember her husband and the person she used to be. Two beautiful actors in a story of hope that makes everyone yearn for the best.

After the Jump...trailers for Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, Beautiful Wave AND....a reel with many of the guest stars in Fantasy Island Season 2 (psst...it's worth the watch) - PLUS my pick (or not quite pick) of the week and a tidbit on the release date for another one of Channing Tatum's films on DVD and Blu.

Review - The Avengers

Summer Assemble!

Assembling May 4, 2012

It’s been years in the making, and now, it is here. We’ve been teased with an Avengers film for years as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) found his way into the end of Iron Man, Captain America and more throughout the years. Now it’s time for the Avengers to assemble as Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is here to create chaos here on Earth.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury has brought together the best super heroes in the world. There is the cocky but confident Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) that takes the leadership role within the group. The confident and always American Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans). They have to dig deep to find Bruce Banner aka The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) finds out. (sheesh…I’m saying AKA a lot) Don’t forget Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Clint “Hawkeye” Barton (Jeremy Renner) even though at least one of these spends most of this movie on the wrong side of the group.

The movie follows a quick look at the back story of our hereoes as they come together to fight Loki. Once they are together, it will take some additional cajoling from the likable Fury to give them the last push they need to get the job done. Now can the Avengers save us from Loki, or are we destined for failure?

Home Screening Room goes Haywire!

This Week’s Big Releases

Go Gina Carano - NOW on Blu-ray.

Haywire  – Rated R  (Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum)

Director Steven Soderbergh gives us probably the most realistic feeling action film to come down the pike in quite some time. Carano is the aggressive Mallory Kane and will have you believing ever bone break and the like. Worth checking out on DVD for action fans.
