New Clip for Thor: The Dark World

My family is starting to get excited for the November release of Thor: The Dark World on November 8. This weekend we re-watched Thor and are planning to re-watch the Avengers before the movie releases. Our schedule over the next few weeks is pretty busy so we wanted to make sure we had time to watch both movies.

 The new clip:


My daughter will be happy to see Loki and have more information about his role in the new movie. She was confused with one clip where it looked like he was a "good guy".

The official boilerplate summary is below:

Marvel’s "Thor: The Dark World" continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself.

Pre-Order LEGO Marvel Universe Video Game Now - Save $10

Since summer began my daughter has been on a LEGO Star Wars kick for Wii. It is definitely her favorite game. She also loves the Marvel Universe, so we were very excited when the trailer for the LEGO Marvel Universe Game debuted.

However, our excitement was short-lived when we discovered that the game would not be available for Wii. I am quite disappointed that a LEGO title which has a strong following of children is not being released for the Wii which is primarily a family gaming system, yet is being released for the other legacy system (Playstation 3 and XBox 360). The PS 3 and Wii were both released in November 2006 while XBox 360 was released the prior year (November 2005).

This has only increased my daughter's lobbying for an XBox Kinect, but I am hesitant to spend that kind of money when the XBox 360 is already 8 years old and XBox One is releasing this fall. I am not excited about the Wii U, I think Nintendo had a few flaws in the design fi their target market is family gamers. With only one fancy touch screen controller and no ability to add a second, it is sure to cause an issue with kids about who gets the "good" controller.

Marvel's Avengers Assemble Premiers This Weekend

My husband and daughter loved watching the cartoon Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on the Disney XD Channel and have been missing the show since it ended in November. We have all 6 volumes on DVD and they re-watch the episodes frequently.

My daughter is looking forward to the new Marvel cartoon series that are coming to Disney XD this summer. She loves the Hulk, so she is really looking forward to Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. which will air beginning in August. Tonight she was excited when I showed her a sneak peek at Marvel's Avengers Assemble which will begin airing regularly on July 7 at 11a. The first two episodes will be airing this weekend, on Sunday, May 26 at 11a. I have already set my DVR to record the episodes for my daughter.

LEGO Batman The Movie: DC Super Heroes Unite

LEGO Batman The Movie: DC Super Heroes Unite is being released on BluRay and DVD on May 21.

Shared by LEGO on their Facebook Page

My daughter loves LEGO movies. She would be thrilled if this was a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes movie as she is more familiar with those characters and has several Marvel LEGO sets. She got hooked with LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace and then we found LEGO Star Wars: Empire Strikes Out on Cartoon Network this fall. She was thrilled when it finally came out on DVD in March since it never re-aired on Cartoon Network. The Padawan Menace Blu-Ray includes bonus features that we recently discovered. These are well worth watching - especially the Star Wars in 2 Minutes Part 1 (Original Trilogy Ep 4-6)  & Part 2 (New Trilogy Ep 1-3). Unfortunately Empire Strikes Out did not include any of the bonus footage. She could browse through YouTube for LEGO videos for hours.

LEGO Batman The Movie: DC Super Heroes Unite is already available to purchase in digital format from iTunes and Amazon Instant Video. The BluRay Combo Back will include the BluRay, a DVD, an Ultra-Violet digital copy (allows streaming) and an exclusive Clark Kent/Superman mini-figure. The DVD Package includes the DVD disc and the same Clark Kent/Superman exclusive mini-figure. When I first saw the BluRay included a Digital Copy, I was going to recommend that. However, since it is not a real digital copy that can be downloaded to a mobile device. I lean towards buying the DVD. I would select the DVD over a digital copy in order to have the exclusive mini-figure.

Also, check out the iOS LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes Unite app.
