Marvel just released one of last years biggest hits, Thor: The Dark World, now available on DVD and Bluray.  I had a blast attending the Red Carpet premiere of the movie last fall, and I was excited to review the DVD and see it again!

The movie picks right up where The Avengers left off, as Thor has to join forces with his treacherous brother Loki and battle to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself.

Learning to Draw Dusty from Planes #DisneyPlanesBloggers

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

While visiting Disney ToonStudios I got a chance to meet with quite a few members of the team who are responsible for the successful Planes movie. I talk about my meeting with the Flight Team here, and the producer and director here.  I also get to meet some of the artists involved in the film, Dan Abraham, head of story, and Art Hernandez, story artist.  They talked about the long process of making the film, and even taught me how to draw my own Dusty!

Vince Vaughn Interview #DeliveryManEvent

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

I recently traveled to Los Angeles to attend the Red Carpet premiere of Delivery Man, which opens in just a few days on November 22nd.  While I was there I had the chance to sit down for a group interview with the film’s star Vince Vaughn!  This was very exciting, since I love so many of his movies.  He was very funny and thoughtful to interview.

Disneyland – Thor: Treasures of Asgard and Winter Holidays #ThorDarkWorldEvent

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

While in LA early this month I had a chance to visit Disneyland and see the new Thor: Treasures of Asgard exhibit, which opened in November!  If you have seen the movie you know that the Bifrost or Rainbow Bridge is a cosmic bridge that allows Thor to travel between the Nine Realms, including Earth.  Well the Bifrost has opened again, and the opening is conveniently located in the Innoventions building at Disneyland!

So naturally my fellow bloggers and I had to check it out while we were there and see all the genuine Asgardian artifacts like Loki’s helmet, swords from Sif and some of the Warriors Three, and even the chains used to imprison Loki. As part of the exhibit you can even choose to travel across the Bifrost and visit Odin’s throne room!

Interviewing Actor Zachary Levi #ThorDarkWorldEvent

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

While in LA last week I had the chance to interview Zachary Levi, who placed the Asgard Warrior Fandral in Thor: The Dark World.  Fandral is one of the fighters from the group know as Warriors Three, who defend Asgard and help Thor along the way. Levi was lots of fun to interview, and he was genuine, open and very funny.

A Visit with Planes Director and Producer #DisneyPlanesBloggers

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

One of the fun things I got to see in Los Angles a few weeks ago was a behind the scenes look at Disney ToonStudios, where I was able to meet and talk with Planes Director Klay Hall and Producer Traci Balthazor-Flynn. This was a fascinating way to hear about all the planning that goes into making a motion picture!  Both were very enthusiastic about their jobs and proud of the movie that they made.

Hall grew up in an aviation family, with a father who flew Naval aircraft in World War II and a grandfather who was a pilot.  So his two great loves growing up were airplanes and drawing, and with the Planes movie he was able to combine them!

An Interview with the Jaimie Alexander #ThorDarkWorldEvent

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

As part of my trip to Los Angeles to attend the red carpet premiere of Thor: The Dark World I was able to interview Jaimie Alexander, who plays the Asgard powerful and beautiful warrior Sif in the movie. Sif is one of the defenders of Asgard, and fights to defend the realm from all kinds of enemies.

This movie has quite a few strong female characters, including Sif, astrophysicist Jane Foster, Foster’s assistant Darcy Lewis and Thor’s mother Frigga.  It is nice to see a superhero movie where the women have some meaty roles and are part of the action!  And when it comes to battles Sif is at the front with all the other warriors.

Celebrate Aviation History Month – Giving Disney’s PLANES Its Wings #DisneyPlanesBloggers

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles.  All opinions are my own.

As part of my recent trip to LA I had the opportunity to visit DisneyToon Studios, and get a behind the scenes look at Disney’s Planes! The lobby of the building was setup to look like an airport runway, how cool is that? This visit was a chance to see how animated movies are made, and I was amazed at how complicated and time consuming the process is.

Tom Hiddleston Interview about Thor: The Dark World #ThorDarkWorldEvent

I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to attend the premiere of this film. All opinions are my own.

One of the many exciting parts of my recent trip to LA was the chance to interview celebrities, like Tom Hiddleston.  He plays Loki in Thor: The Dark World, and if you have seen the movie you know he is amazing in it!  Loki is the god of Mischief and Lies, and Hiddleston has lots of fun with the character and makes it one of the most interesting and compelling in the movie!

The other bloggers and I were able to interview Hiddleston just a few hours before the premiere, and despite his busy schedule he was extremely gracious and funny.

Thor: The Dark World Red Carpet Premiere and Movie Review #ThorDarkWorldEvent

Two red carpet events in two days?  Seems unbelievable, and yet 24 hours after my first red carpet premiere for Delivery Man I was back at the El Capitan Theatre for the premiere of Thor: The Dark World!

The atmosphere was electric, and the crowds were even bigger and louder. Stars were everywhere, and we walked right by Chris Hemsworth while he was on the red carpet! The red carpet was divided with motorcycles and velvet ropes, with celebrities on one side being photographed, and the rest of us on the other side.  It was exciting to walk past so many famous people, even I mostly just saw the backs of their heads!

I just returned from a whirlwind four day trip to Los Angles, and can’t wait to share all the details with you.  One of the highlights was attending the Delivery Man red carpet premiere at the legendary El Capitan Theatre.

The experience of actually walking the red carpet was surreal!

Delivery Man Movie Red Carpet Premiere #DeliveryManEvent

I have been posting about my upcoming Disney sponsored trip to LA which includes attending the premiere of Thor: Dark World, but my trip just got even better!  Originally the 25 bloggers on the trip were supposed to see a screening of Delivery Man, the Vince Vaughn movie which will be released on 11/23.  But on Friday I found out the red carpet premiere has been moved to next weekend, so I will get to attend the Delivery Man Red Carpet Premiere also!  Two Red Carpet Premieres in two days, sounds amazing!

I love Natalie Portman’s silver skirt, it looks very futuristic, perfect for this kind of movie.

Heading to Hollywood for #ThorDarkWorldEvent and #DeliveryManEvent

I am working with Disney, Marvel, and Dreamworks as part of this event and they are providing the trip in exchange for my coverage. Opinions are always my own.

I am super excited to tell you all about the trip I will be taking next month with 24 other bloggers to LA for the red carpet premier of Thor: The Dark World at the #ThorDarkWorldEvent and #DeliveryManEvent! When I first got the email inviting me I kept closing it, re-opening it, and then reading it again to make sure I had read it correctly!  A trip to Hollywood is like a dream come true!

And while any trip to Hollywood would be fun, Thor: The Dark World is one of the movies I have been most looking forward to this fall.  I loved the first movie, and have always been fascinated with the Norse mythology the series is based on.
