Marvel has just announced that their latest blockbuster, Iron Man 3, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 24th. The film will also be available for digital three weeks earlier on September 3rd. It is the sequel to 2008’s Iron Man and 2010’s Iron Man 2, and the seventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being the first major release in the franchise since the crossover film The Avengers. Shane Black directed a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce and which uses concepts from the “Extremis” story arc by Warren Ellis. Robert Downey, Jr. reprises his role as the title character, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle reprising their roles as Pepper Potts and James Rhodes, respectively. Jon Favreau, who directed the first two films, serves as an executive producer and reprises his role as Happy Hogan. Having previously entered another dimension in order to save New York City, Tony remains deeply haunted by the experience. Unable to sleep, he throws himself into his work with such intensity that it begins to take a heavy toll on both his mental health and his relationship with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Tony has only started to appreciate the gravity of his problems when an enigmatic terrorist named the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) hijacks the airwaves and threatens to bring America to its knees with a painful series of “lessons” that even President Ellis (William Sadler) won’t be able to ignore.
With this movie at home, you will have the most memorable scenes with unforgettable characters, and special effects. Even the script is ambitious the result is edgier, sexier despite of Tony Stark’s arrogance but highly enjoyable with the Black/Downey Jr partnership which is like a marriage.

For the first time in DC Comics’ history, Batman – the world’s most popular DC Super Hero – is now an all-new, live-action arena adventure. BATMAN LIVE – World Arena Tour is a 15 million dollar stage production with an engrossing and original story featuring a cast of 42 actors and circus trained acrobats, a 3D Gotham landscape, a symphonic score recorded by a 92-piece symphony orchestra, custom-built and state-of-the-art stage, a 100-foot bat-shaped LED wall, big flight sequences, illusions, pyrotechnics and the impressive BATMOBILE designed especially for the show by legendary race car driver Professor Gordon Murray. It’s a colorful, loud, funny and theatrical show with different characters involved such as The Cat Woman which first trapeze fight scene was dire, the joker all of them full of magic tricks, stunts, lighting and sound effects. So it’s great enough to entertain anyone who attends.

A great storytelling comes with a teeny-size 14-year-old girl who lives with her family beneath the floorboards of a big house and the human-size boy who befriends her, is adapted from British author Mary Norton’s wonderful children’s fantasy novels, The Borrowers. The lyrical animation, with its meditative attention to nature, bears the unique stamp of Japan’s Studio Ghibli, cofounded by the great Spirited Away animator Hayao Miyazaki.
The entire family will enjoy a beautiful scenery along the way, full of fascinating insects, mice or a cat as well as humans may briefly frighten young children. Arrietty has to face a world full of complications so when she met Shawn, both realize there is nothing to be afraid of into a world bigger than life—literally. Their friendship shows a different perspective with awesome and intricate images. Shawn and Arrietty’s bond is unbreakable, and they are willing to sacrifice for each other. The idealism of cross-cultural, even forbidden friendship collides head-on with certain realities of the miniature world that have been long maintained, presumably for logical reasons. This movie is highly recommended and will be on DVD/Blu- Ray.
