Yesterday we got the first sneak peek at the official Thor poster, and today the trailer is upon us in all it’s glory. It’s pretty much the same trailer they showed at SDCC, but everything looks more polished and there is a bit of new material. I think it looks very promising, but what do you think?

It’s really nothing we haven’t seen yet visually, but it is the first official Thor poster. It should be in theaters this weekend, and the first trailer will probably be before Tron: Legacy (which John and I get to see early, expect our reviews early next week).
I’m officially pumped about Thor and Captain America. What about you?

I missed The Sorcerer’s Apprentice in theaters, mainly on purpose, but I watched it on Blu-ray last night and it was actually an enjoyable movie. It’s not great cinema, but it was a pretty good adventure with great special effects and a healthy dose of Nicolas Cage scowling at the camera. So in other words, there’s something for everyone!
To be honest, the story was very predictable and cliche, and besides the fact that they tried connecting magic with science, the actual use of it was very very Harry Potter influenced.
Jay Baruchel is still fun to watch, and until Hollywood typecasts him into oblivion I think he will be for a while. Still, that’s not enough to save a movie with a laughable plot, Nicolas Cage as a Sorcerer, and a boring, tacked-on, love interest subplot.

It can get boring being a freelancer for a living (trust me), but I feel a little better today knowing that everyone’s favorite Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett, was a freelancer too. And in case you missed it a few weeks ago, he even has some snazzy invoices.

Now that Tophat Sasquatch is officially in business (formerly Saturday Morning Central, if you’re new), I can finally start reviewing the Blu-rays and DVDs that have been piling up over the past few weeks. The one I am probably most excited about is Toy Story 3.
I’m a huge Pixar nut, and the Toy Story trilogy practically defines my life as a movie fan. I saw the first in 1995 when I was just ten, and instantly fell in love with Pixar’s ability to tell stories (and this fancy new CGI thing). Toy Story 2 came a few years later and was one of the first movies I took my first niece to see. I think TS2 surprised everyone.
Fast forward eleven years and the Toy Story characters are back on the screen for the third and final part of the trilogy, this time helmed by Lee Unkrich.
