New Look at Captain America in full costume

It has been a big week for Marvel on the interwebs. To the delight of geeks everywhere, yesterday saw the release of the first glimpse of Andrew Garfield in his new Spidey suit. Details were scarce, and by scarce, there were absolutely none, but it still was a cool look at the superhero icon in his costume.

Also released yesterday was a glimpse at Chris Evans in the Captain America costume that he will be wearing to fight the dirty Ratzis, as well as the Hydra organization headed by the Red Skull. The original images were fairly low quality, but today a new, higher quality version of the same image was released. The pictures are part of an upcoming article in the print edition of Entertainment Weekly, while this photo comes courtesy of Comingsoon.net.

In the picture above, Chris Evans is standing in front of two Hydra soldiers, undoubtedly about to serve them some good ol’ American justice. Beyond that, there isn’t much more to say. The Captain America costume is possibly the most difficult of all superhero costumes to recreate in a live action movie without it coming off as…well, stupid, for lack of a better word, but the filmmakers seem to have found a solid formula that shows some realism while still honoring the character.

Still no images of Hugo Weaving in full Red Skull makeup (or full CGI as the case might be), although a few concept art drawings have been released of the Red Skull holding the cosmic cube—check them out below.

Directed by Joe Johnston, Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters in 3D on July 22, 2011.

What say you, readers.  Do you like the look at the costume?

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
