Marvel's Avengers Assemble trailer! [video]

Marvel has just released the trailer for their another new animated series that will air on Disney XD, Avengers Assemble.

I'm not all together sure how I feel about this show just yet. I'm excited for a show based on the Avengers but this looks like it may be a little too aimed at kids. And why are they calling Thor the "Prince" of thunder? I'll give the show a shot though when it airs to see how it is. Take a look at the trailer below and let me know what you think of the show.

Avengers Assemble will premiere on Disney XD, Sunday, May 26th at 11 a.m. ET.

The TARDIS is not the only thing that is "bigger on the inside"!

Everyone knows that the Doctor's TARDIS is "bigger on the inside" on the British sci-fi show Doctor Who. However, the Doctor's TARDIS is not the only thing we have seen in movies and shows that has been bigger on the inside. Let's take a look at the various bags and homes that we have seen dating all the way back to 1934!

4 year old girl shows off her extensive Marvel knowledge! [video]

If you call yourself a Marvel super-fan then let me introduce you to Mia Grace. She is 4 years old and will school you in Marvel trivia! Don't believe it? Then just watch this video where her dad quizzes her in the care on things like, "What's Captain America's shield made out of?" and "Name some of the stones in the Infinity Gauntlet." I have no doubt that you will be deeply impressed. Let me say again, she is 4!

This video is just adorable and impressive all mixed into one. These parents are definitely doing a great job raising Mia. It's funny to listen to how excited the dad gets when Mia answers some of the questions. Like how she knew about the Soul Stone in the Infinity Gauntlet at the 2:12 mark.

"It's Clobberin' Time!"

Andrew Garfield takes a break from filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to play basketball with fans as Spider-Man! [video]

Spider-Man is possibly my favorite superhero out there and if I could have met him as a child I would have been through the roof. Recently two students outside P.S. 1 in New York City not only got to meet Spider-Man but had the chance to play some basketball with him! That's right! On May 18th Andrew Garfield took a break from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and walked over to a basketball court to shoot some hoops with two young boys (which I am sure is something that those boys will never forget!). What made this all the better is that Andrew was wearing the new Spidey suit the whole time and kept his mask on which really made it Spider-Man playing on that court. As Garfield walks back towards the set you can see Emma Stone walking back to set as well walking the dog.

It is truly amazing to see a video like this. This was just Garfield having some fun and hanging out with some fans. From everything that I have seen, he seems like such a down to earth guy and seems to be having a lot of fun while filming this movie. I am really excited for it!

Star Trek theme performed by the Harp Twins! [video]

The Harp Twins have done it again! They have just released another great music video of them playing their electric harps and this time they have boldly gone where no harpist has gone before! In this video Camille & Kennerly wear command gold Starfleet uniforms as they perform an original arrangement that connects the themes of the original Star Trek and The Next Generation.

The great thing about the Harp Twin's videos is that they always dress appropriately for the song they are playing (whether a regular outfit that reflects the music or a cosplay for a specific show or movie) and they always shoot on great locations that also reflect the song. Cannot wait to see what they come up with next!

Full length trailer released for Batman: Arkham Origins! [video]

WB Games Montréal has released the full length trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins and I am blown away from what I have seen. After watching the teaser trailer for the game I had said that it looked better than the current Batman movies that are out and after watching this trailer I can definitely say that I stand by that thought. This trailer gives us a look at the full fight sequence between Batman and Deathstroke and it is unbelievable!
The trailer is a bit longer at just under 5 minutes but when you are watching, you'll become so engrossed with the action that you will not realize it is that long.
"Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline occurring several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City's most dangerous villains and assassins, the game showcases a young, raw, unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, witness identities being formed and key relationships being forged."
Batman: Arkham Origins will be released for all major consoles on October 25, 2013.

Dan Aykroyd talks about the plot to Ghostbusters 3! [video]

Dan Aykroyd was a guest on Larry King Now and answered a few questions about the upcoming Ghostbusters 3 film!

As to be expected Aykroyd confirmed again that at the moment Bill Murray will not be involved in the film. But he does make a special note to say that if at any time Murray has a change of heart that they can fit him into the film in some way without question. The really cool part is that in the interview, Aykroyd reveals some information about the plot of Ghostbusters 3.
"We’re going to have to cast. We need four new ghostbusters. We need four new Columbia students.
It’s based upon new research that’s being done in particle physics by the young men and women at Columbia University. Basically there’s research being done that…I can say that the world or our dimension that we live in, our four planes of existence, length, height, width, and time, become threatened by some of the research that is being done. And ghostbusters, new ghostbusters have to come and some the problem."
This sounds pretty cool and reminds me a little of the storyline from the 1997 animated series Extreme Ghostbusters. It's sad that Murray will not be in the film but I am excited for it all the same!
