New Trailer: “Avengers – Age Of Ultron”

The second trailer for the upcoming Marvel flick Avengers – Age of Ultron dropped yesterday and we get a look at how artificial intelligence bad guy Ultron (voiced by James Spader) plans to take our down favorite super-hero team.

Starring Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth – in theaters May 1st.

Parody – New Avengers Movie Trailer Set To “My Heart Will Go On”

Towleroad points up this high-larious mash-up of the new “Avengers: The Age of Ultron” trailer with Celine Dion’s “My Hear Will Go On.”

With attention to detail like Chris Evans’ “Captain America” kicking open a door (“Once more, you open the door…”) to Elizabeth Olsen’s “Scarlet Witch” screaming on her knees (“You’re here, there’s nothing fear…”) you’ve got to love the juxtaposition here.

Avengers Assemble for dying fan’s wish

Chris Evans (“Captain America”)

Stratford Caldecott, dying from prostate cancer, had a last dying wish – one that became one of the greatest superhero gifts ever.

Stratford, a big Marvel comics fan, wanted to live long enough to be able to see The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. So his daughter Sophie, with nothing to lose, posted the following request on her personal blog:

“We’re going to try and get in touch with Marvel to ask if they can fulfill dad’s dying wish by sending us a copy of the film for him to watch at home. But I think we can go further than that. We’re also going to tweet the Avengers actors and see if they will take a picture of themselves holding a sign saying ‘Captain America/Thor/Iron Man [insert name of character here] for Strat!’ so that we can surprise him with their messages of support and encouragement.”

So what happens next?

Shortly thereafter, a Marvel executive arrived at her door, followed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely with a promise to deliver a copy of the movie to her dad.

But – it gets better. Look below…

Heroes do sometimes appear in the nick of time.

I loved the movie this summer.  I thought it had just the right balance of action and humor.  Loved the dialogue between the heroes.  And they’re not hard to look at either.

My copy in on the way! Love Amazon shopping.  It’s like gifts just show up at the door 🙂

THE AVENGERS movie grosses over $200 million in three days

THE AVENGERS movie grossed an unprecendented $200.3 million in its Friday-Sunday box-office debut, its studio estimated.

The film is the first to break $200 million in three days. It smashed the mark held by the previous weekend record-holder, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.”

I loved the film.  It was exactly what it needed to be.  The action sequences were fantastic and the use of humor between the characters made the movie that much better.

I may go back again but at an IMAX theater.

Go see it if you haven’t already.
