This week there is one big title on the radar and it is a big deal for Disney and their future superhero plans. Two smaller blips are also on the radar if you don’t want superhero fare, About Time and 12 Years a Slave are also in theaters, the latter of which is expanding its run this week.~Chris

Marvel’s Phase 2 kicked off earlier this year when Iron Man 3 opened to massive draws and it continues with the Chris Hemsworth led Thor: The Dark World. I wasn’t a big fan of the original Thor but The Dark World seems to be amping things up appropriately, bringing Thor and Loki back together to battle a new threat to Asgard and Earth. The bigger focus on Asgard is the big draw for me as the best parts of the original took place there but everything else looks like it is on a higher level than the previous iteration.

Are you heading out to the theater this week? What are you seeing? Let us know in the comments below.
