Since the Marvel comics movies backlash shows no sign of beginning, multiplex filler of the week is yet another superhero sequel from Kevin Fiege. This time it's Thor 2, or rather, as the core fan base of 11-year-old boys would have it, Loki 2. (The Avengers, of course.) Genre movie back up team member Christopher Ecclestone represents some sort of ancient orc-a-like with a grudge against Norse Gods thereby forcing Thor and Loki into close cooperation.

A marginally more believable superhero, Lance Armstrong's secret sauce turned out to be exactly that and in The Armstrong Lie his fall from grace is played out in the documentary equivalent of real time.
