Released 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws forever changed what a summer movie was and what horror movie was capable of. Far more successful than anyone could hope, Jaws captured the hearts and minds of audiences making it the most profitable movie ever released in theaters (at least until a certain sci-fi fantasy hit theaters two years later).

For their latest, Pixar delivers a story about a young boy who has to be abducted by aliens to learn about friendship and family.

New Avengers #1

/ / Comics

While not being all that sure about the current state of the Marvel Universe, although it seems that Doctor Doom has become a major player again just in time to lead into some cross-promotional movie tie-ins, we start with Black Widow recruiting the Winter Soldier to look into a former lumber camp turned experimental laboratory in the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. And for added backup, Bucky enlisted the help of the less-hairy Wolverine and his old war buddy Namor. For a guy who says he hates teams, Bucky sure knows how to assemble deadly ones.
