Superman vs. the Elite Promo Clips Focus on New Team

I suppose it makes sense that the images and video clips released so far to promote the next DC Animated film, Superman vs. the Elite, revolve around the Elite, since everyone already knows Superman. The original cartoon film is due out on home video June 12. For more information, I’ve previously posted the trailer and more information on the DVD and Blu-ray versions. The first clip released shows the Elite arriving, with a poor puppy dog getting the worst of […]

Jewel Robbery Coming From Relaunched Forbidden Hollywood Line

“Forbidden Hollywood” is such a fun title, suggesting all kinds of naughtiness in film. Most recently, it was used for a three-volume line of TCM Archives DVD collections with some of the best pre-Code movies out there, including the one that sums it all up for me, Baby Face starring Barbara Stanwyck. Now comes news (link no longer available) that the Warner Archive is reviving the label, with six DVDs coming out June 26. The high point for me is […]

Thor Whisky Debuts as Part of Valhalla Collection From Highland Park

I don’t have much to add to this press release, since I don’t drink Scotch, but I find this a clever idea for branding. “Thor” is the kind of name that makes sense for a manly product. Highland Park Single Malt Scotch Whisky just released its newest whisky, Thor, the first coming in the Valhalla Collection, a range of four unique whiskies, taking inspiration from the legendary Nordic gods. This limited edition release comes out just in time for Father’s […]

Avengers DVD Dates Announced

Ready to watch Disney’s Avengers movie over and over again? (It quit being just Marvel’s when it took in over a billion dollars.) DVD dates have been announced. The Avengers will be available in Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, Blu-ray 3-D/ Blu-ray/ DVD/ digital copy deluxe edition, and (I’m assuming) single-disc DVD on September 25, just four months from now. Supplements will include: * Audio Commentary by Director Joss Whedon * Disney’s Second Screen * Assembling the Ultimate Team * A Visual […]

Love and Capes Returns With a Baby!

As first mentioned last year, IDW has announced the fourth volume of my favorite superhero series, Love and Capes by Thom Zahler. After getting married in 2010 (reprinted in Going to the Chapel) and then settling into life together, Abby and Mark, the Crusader, are now expecting a baby! “I’m thrilled to be able to tell another chapter in Mark and Abby’s adventures. And there’s no greater adventure than parenthood,” said Zahler. “Except, of course, for a fight for existence […]

John Carter Blu-ray, DVD Announced

Disney has announced that John Carter will be coming to DVD and Blu-ray on June 5. It will be interesting to see if, as many are predicting, the over-two-hour movie finds more of its audience on home video. It’s possible that this could become a perennial favorite, especially since science fiction fans who’ve seen it generally liked it. Here’s a release trailer: The movie is pitched as “a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars)” […]
