He's the best at what he does, but what he does isn't very nice. He's Wolverine, an elite agent of Canada's top secret Department H, and he's been put on Hulk's trail with a single objective: stop the green goliath...at all costs. Hulk and Wolverine are about to enter the fiercest battle of their lives.

Hulk vs. Thor

Now, with Odin the almighty king of the gods deep in a regenerative sleep, and the forces protecting Asgard at their weakest, Loki is finally ready to spring his trap. In an epic battle that will pit gods against monsters, that will test a hero's limits more than ever before, only The Mighty Thor can hope to prevail.

Dark Knight to break Blu-ray shipping record
Sequel projected for 1 million units to retail
By Susanne Ault -- Video Business, 11/7/2008

NOV. 7 | Warner Home Video’s The Dark Knight is expected to ship more than 1 million Blu-ray Disc units to retail for its Dec. 9 street date, according to sources, which is believed to be a first for the format.

Warner execs declined to comment on the studio’s shipment plans.

Earlier in the quarter, Paramount Home Entertainment said its Iron Man sold 500,000 Blu-ray copies in its first week on shelves, but it’s unclear how many units the studio shipped.

Both titles underscore how far the format has come in a short period of time: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment set a record in March 2007 when it became the first studio to ship 100,000 Blu-ray copies of a title, Casino Royale.

For much of the past year, Blu-ray copies averaged 5% to 10% of a title’s sales. Recent features, including Warner’s Speed Racer and Journey to the Center of the Earth reached more than 10%, and Universal Studios Home Entertainment’s The Incredible Hulk hit more than 14%, according to VB sister publication Variety.

Iron Man’s Blu-ray version represented as much as 30% of sales at some retailers, though overall it was closer to 10%.

Warner knows that with Dark Knight’s wild popularity and Blu-ray-friendly special effects, the title should be a winner at retail. However, the studio will still be greasing the wheel with many software bundling promotions in order to encourage customers to buy Blu-ray players in time for the Dec. 9 Dark Knight bow.

“We have been working with key retailers to put together account specific offers, where we bundle a device or the PlayStation 3 remote with one of our titles, which gives the customers value in return,” said Dorinda Marticorena, Warner senior VP of worldwide marketing and high-def. “You will see a plethora of offers from Warner in November and December.”

She believes that consumers are now especially primed to purchase Blu-ray players, as manufacturers began offering models at new low pricing levels in October. Originally $399 for much of this year, Sony and Samsung BD Live-ready models fell to $299 at the end of September.

Regardless of a tightening economy, October set-top weekly sales are 25% to 50% higher than prior weeks, according to Marticorena.

“We are encouraged about the momentum we are seeing with Blu-ray players in October,” she said.

Overall, Marticorena is confident Dark Knight will shine bright on Blu-ray.

“Given its release date timing and our research, this indicates that a lot of customers are waiting to purchase this title,” she said. “If a household is on the fence about making a Blu-ray player or PS3 purchase, this title can be influential in making that happen.”

Synopsis:
Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family--squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers--a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister--he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.

Synopsis:
The story, unfolding over a 24-hour period, centers on Vinz, Said and Hubert--very close friends from very different backgrounds. Vinz is Jewish. Said, an Arab. Hubert is Black. They are three disenfranchised youths trying to find meaning in what appears to be an otherwise meaningless existence. During a riot the night before, a friend of theirs is arrested and then beaten while in police custody. He lies clinging to life in a hospital. One more riot in the drug- and crime-ridden housing projects, one more case of police brutality. Same story as always, only one big difference: a gleaming, chrome-plated Smith & Wesson 44 that falls into their hands, courtesy of the Paris Police Department. The weapon, which one of the riot cops lost during the previous night's chaos, becomes the catalyst for the story's climax.

Pinocchio redeems himself by saving Geppetto from Monstro, the whale.
