The new releases are pouring out again, the blockbuster summer in America always causes our winters to be very exciting. This week the big new movie is Captain America: The First Avenger, the last of the key Marvel superheroes to be introduced to audiences before the super mash-up "The Avengers" hits our screens next year. The full trailer to this that I saw last weekend looks so much better than the early ones. Something about the period '40s setting in an action film really appeals to me - there is so much style to it. The other big movie is Hanna (reviewed in a separate post a few days ago) which may get more attention than I thought - the early reviews are good, I thought this was really cool so go see it. In a big week for assassins, The Conspirator is new at selected cinemas, this time a a courtroom drama set around the assassination of Abrahalm Lincoln in the 1860s. Directed by Robert Redford, it may be worth a look. Palace Centro has an exclusive on "Of Gods and Men", a drama about a group of Trappist monks in a remote Algerian community who must decide whether to stay or go when they come under threat from fundamental terrorists. I haven't heard much on this.
DVDs out this week are Limitless (check my review from a few months ago) and The Way Back. The big news for Blu-ray owners is that Apocalypse Now has been released on deluxe BD. You get the cinematic release and the Redux version plus a tonne of extras.
