There's a
new teaser out for Joss Whedon's
The Avengers movie, and yes that means it's an advertisement for an advertisement. Whedon also revealed that there will be no Spider-Man cameo in the movie, which suits me just fine.
A new trailer for
The Cold Light of Day looks quite interesting, starring
Bruce Willis,
Sigourney Weaver, and the new
Man of Steel himself,
Henry Cavill. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one later this year.
We got ourselves a new fryer and we may give it a test run this weekend to see if the charcoal filter actually works. Then maybe the house won't smell like fries for two days afterward.

Act Of Valor draws near, and you can bet I'll be there to check it out, especially since Red Tails is turning out to be a bit of a dud. I'm jonesing for a good war movie, and what's better than seeing some active duty Navy Seals in action?
We watched the pilot for
Kiefer Sutherland's new series,
Touch, and while it is quite similar to 2009s'
Knowing movie with Nicholas Cage, it's still quite good. We'll have to check out a few more episodes to see where this is all going, but so far, so good.
