With Scott Derrickson tapped to direct “Dr. Strange,” one of the key films in place for Marvel Studios’ Phase III lineup of “Avengers” films, the next important key is deciding on a lead and two very strong candidates are in the running.

New to Blu-Ray/DVD for Dec. 4, 2012 – Complete the Dark Knight trilogy
TOM HARDY as Bane and CHRISTIAN BALE as Batman clash.
The Dark Knight Rises – Christopher Nolan’s amazing trilogy wrapped with this immensely satisfying conclusion featuring Batman (Christian Bale) teaming with Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) to save Gotham from Bane (Tom Hardy). If “Marvel’s The Avengers” was the popcorn summer blockbuster, this was the more sophisticated comic book movie epic. Despite the Colorado shooting tragedy undoubtedly keeping some audience members away, the film still reached #7 on the all-time highest grossing charts with $448 million. If for some reason you missed it during its theatrical run, make sure to check out easily one of the year’s best films that will no doubt get snubbed come award season.
Cindy (Jennifer Garner), Timothy (CJ Adams) and Jim (Joel Edgerton) Green give an impromptu performance at a family gathering.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green – I really enjoyed this family-friendly Disney film starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton. It’s an easygoing film that’s ideal for the holidays to watch while you’re wrapping gifts or just want something relaxing to watch while sipping on eggnog.
Hope Springs – Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones play a married couple looking to bring back their spark with the help of a counselor.
New on Blu-Ray/DVD for Nov. 27, 2012 – third time easily a charm for “Men In Black”

Men In Black 3 – While “Men In Black 2” was an awful, terrible, abysmal sequel (could you tell I hated it?) this installment was surprisingly fun, backed by a great performance by Josh Brolin channeling Tommy Lee Jones.

Box office roundup – Sept. 16, 2012 – “Resident Evil: Retribution” has enough bite to top box office
Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) opens fire on the deck of the Arcadia in Screen Gems’ action thriller “RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION.”
1. Resident Evil: Retribution – $21.1 million [debut week] – The fifth installment of the series rose to another box office leading win even if it’s by far one of the weaker openings of the series. The second and third film in the series — “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” and “Resident Evil: Extinction” — $23 million and $23.6 million respectively had comparable opening weekends, but the fourth film “Resident Evil: Afterlife” had a better haul of $26 million in its opening weekend. Considering there was little real competition at the box office, this has to be a minor disappointment for Screen Gems.

“The Dark Knight Rises” sends “E.T.” to a new home on the all-time highest grossing list
Bane (Tom Hardy) prepares to clash with Batman (Christian Bale) in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ action thriller “The Dark Knight Rises.”
“The Dark Knight Rises” grabbed about $850,000 on Friday, which was good enough to get past “E.T.” for the #8 spot on the all-time highest grossing list at $435,110 and bring its total to $435,414.
It trails “Shrek 2’s” $441 million take, but that seems to be a formality now although I can’t see it knocking out “Star Wars,” which sits at #6 with $460 million.
Internationally, “TDKR” has earned $1,013 billion and moved up another notch to #12. The film it beat out? None other than “The Dark Knight,” which has $1,003 billion.
It could catch up to “Alice in Wonderland’s” $1,024 billion haul to reach #11 and has an outside chance of catching “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” at $1,027 billion. “Phantom Menace” is interestingly enough the only “Star Wars” movie on the all-time worldwide list. That could be interesting in the next few weeks.

Box office roundup – Sept. 9, 2012 – “The Possesion” inhabits the top spot again
Natasha Calis stars as ‘Em’ in “THE POSSESSION.”
1. The Possession – [$26.7 million total; 2nd week] Broken record time again. September is a miserable, awful, completely worthless month for anything close to quality movies and with less than stellar new options, last week’s champ didn’t have to struggle too hard to retain its title. Look for the new “Resident Evil” to take the top spot next week if only because it has a devoted fan following and offers something audiences want to see this month.

Natasha Calis stars as ‘Em’ in “THE POSSESSION.”
1. The Possession – $20 million [debut week] Lionsgate’s horror/thriller easily took the box office title in its opening week. September is a bleak month for movies so this could have some staying power it might not otherwise have had any other month.
