Guest Review: The Avengers

Written by: Rainbow

I have to digress briefly and mention my increasing intolerance for fellow moviegoers.

Throughout the entire film I had a fellow patron rattle her and her child’s hands in chip packets. Seriously these things should be banned from cinemas. They are distracting and heavily impact on the enjoyment of the film for others. I am taking a stand. No chips. No slurping your drink – if it’s empty, slurping won’t create any more Coke, either buy a bigger one or drink slower. No sniffing, coughing or TALKING! If you want to chit chat, LEAVE!

I am disgusted with the constant disregard for others enjoyment. I hate having to get up mid-movie and dash to the toilet but if it’s necessary it must be done. I don’t stomp up the stairs like a hippo from Fantasia, I like to think I … Read More »


‘The Avengers’ Concept Art

Yes, I know I am late.

I am very sure that everyone has already seen these images for the forthcoming epic that is The Avengers on pretty much every other film, comic, fan site out there BUT I don’t really care…because these are just too cool and look amazing not to have on my site.

So here they are, fresh from the Marvel website!

This is the official landscape poster that features all the players in one glorious image!

Let’s take roll call. And look at the images up close!

Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)

To be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of this character in Iron Man 2 so here’s hoping…

Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr)

I really dig the background images behind Iron Man, a combo from both films.

Bruce Banner aka The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)

In his very … Read More »

Thor Movie Premiere

19th April

On Sunday 17th April 2011 Thor had its world premiere at the Event Cinemas in George Street Sydney Australia.

My girlfriend and I were EXTREMELY lucky enough to score some passes to attend the event!

To say it was a dream come true would be an understatement because I have been looking forward to Thor since I heard that they were doing a big screen adaptation. I was planning on just heading down to the cinema just to take some photos of the event and never planned that I would be able to watch it on opening night!

We headed down George St and could see the lights calling our names…well ok I could SEE the lights…and as we edged nearer to the cinemas we were confronted with a crowd…a rather larger crowd!

So we dove right on in, fighting the crowd for the … Read More »


Thor – “A film worthy of the Gods” Review

Posted by Russell_Oz in Movie Reviews, Superhero Stuff. 3 comments

17th April

Tonight I attended the world premiere of Thor at Sydney’s Event Cinemas in George St Sydney!

The girl and I were lucky enough to score passes to attend the premiere and it was better than we could have ever hoped for! It was a brilliant night and I will post some pics from the exclusive access that we had before the film screening!

On to the review now,

Thor, directed by Kenneth Branagh (Hamlet, Frankenstein) and starring home-grown hero Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) as the title character, the latest film from Marvel Entertainment and Paramount Pictures brings to life the story of the Mjolnir wielding God of Thunder.

Thor is an interesting choice for the big screen because he is not as well known as Spider-Man, Batman, or Superman to the average cinema goer, which presents a challenge – how do you make an origin story that … Read More »

Thor Posters – Poorly Designed?

Posted by Russell_Oz in Movie News, Superhero Stuff. No Comments

30th March

Greetings all,

You know I am pumped for Thor!

I’ve written about this before and I am absolutely pumped to see the God of Thunder in action!

Um…however…don’t these posters look a little weak? Is it just me or do the words superimposed over the faces of the actors that we are paying to go SEE just take away from the impact of the poster?

I thought that a picture says 1000 words…apparently not…

In case I forgot to mention, the Thor premiere takes place in Sydney’s George St cinema’s on Sunday 17th April!!!

Greetings all,

According to the Event Cinemas website, Thor will be released on the 28th April 2011.

This is brilliant news for 2 reasons;

1. It’s only 7 weeks away…and I can only watch the trailer so many times…

2. It’s my birthday! That’s right, the Taco turns 30!

So what better way to celebrate than to head off to the cinema and check out the newest comic book adaptation from director Kenneth Brannagh and starring Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman!

Here are the latest Thor posters;

For those of who are unfamiliar with the story of the Norse God, Thor is the story of the fierce but arrogant warrior who is cast out of Asgard and exiled to Earth where he must live with the mortals. When the most dangerous villain of his world sends the warriors of Asgard to invade Earth, Thor … Read More »

Greetings loyal constituents of Earth,

Well hasn’t it been an exciting week now? What? You didn’t hear the news?

My friends, take a seat and let me share the wondrous news with you all.

This week saw the release of some brand new images from the upcoming (as yet) unnamed ‘Spider-Man’ reboot, ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, and ‘Thor’!

Ok so the big one that set the Internet ablaze was the first look image of seeing Andrew Garfield in the Spidey suit! I first saw the image on http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/113727-first-shot-of-andrew-garfield-as-spider-man so go and check it out NOW, I’ll wait.

So what did you think? I think the suit looks great and Andrew Garfield makes a great Peter Parker! I am a fan of the latex looking suit, I think we need to see a different interpretation of the suit just so we can get away from … Read More »



From the Blog!

1:37 exactly is a website designed to share movie reviews, trailers, and assorted bits n pieces that I find interesting, and hopefully some of you too.

In fact, if you ask me I will provide a list of them to you! Hopefully there is something on the site that you find interested and want to engage in a discussion on, if not, thanks for stopping by.
