The “MarvelUK” channel on YouTube was kind enough to post the trailer for the Captain America: Winter Soldier film. Looks good and it if I’m not mistaken it has one of my favorite characters in it, Falcon! Check it out below:

Once Upon a Time GN
Here is where you know Marvel Entertainment is owned by Disney. It has been announced that on September 4, Marvel will release an original graphic novel based on the ABC series Once Upon A Time. To be honest April and I love this series and the graphic novel will be added to the collection at the library because titles like these are great to use for cross-promotion within a library, because we will be adding the first season of Once Upon a Time to the library’s collection as well.
Oz the Great and Powerful Trailer
You know where all of the Oz fans will be this weekend. Oz the Great and Powerful opens Friday. It makes you wonder, if this movie does well, if a remake of The Wizard of Oz could be in the works with updated technology that is used in this movie and if Disney will try to continue with the rest of the novels by L. Frank Baum. Thanks to YahooMovies for the following trailer:
Marvel Romance Novels
Disney is trying to reach out to the romance readers with Marvel Heroines, through it’s Hyperion Books publishing branch. This new venture will hit shelves in June with She-Hulk Diaries by Marta Acosta and Rogue Touch by Christine Woodward. You might check them out to and see if they are something you want in your collections.
AMV Spotlight of the Week
This weeks AMV Spotlight is on YouTuber “dragonchic721”. This is an older AMV and centers around Superman. This individual took clips from the series Justice League and edited them to the song “Go the Distance” performed by Michael Bolton. I know it is a slower song and it is from a Disney movie, but the AMV is well edited and the lyrics really fit the images as they are advancing through the video. The opening is my most favorite part with the instrumental and seeing the Justice League Tower and then Superman flying around the edge at the crescendo, very nicely done. I enjoyed the AMV and thought it should get some additional looks from people. You can look up the AMV on YouTube under “Justice League – Superman – Go the Distance” or check it out below:
Wreck-It Ralph
Disney’s latest animation film is Wreck-It Ralph. Besides appealing to the animation fans, Wreck-It Ralph will draw in the gamers I believe, just to have a fun time. Thanks to YouTuber “ENTV” for the following trailer:
Is This a Halloween Treat or Trick?
This is a strange one. If true it will have the Star Wars fan community in a buzz. Yahoo has an article from the Associated Press, by Ryan Nakashima, that says George Lucas has sold his film companies to Disney to include the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises. The sell is reported to be for $4.05 billion. I’m not sure if this excites me or not. With Disney’s track record with Science Fiction movies I don’t know. Check out the article by following the link below.

Update: I guess this is a done deal. I’m excited about this and hesitant as well. My feelings lean more to the excited part of it with Episode 7 in theaters in 2015.
