Batman & Robin (1997): Figures and Vehicles Sold Separately. Batteries Not Included.
This is part of my “Batman on Film” blog series. To read other entries in this and other Batman-related blog series, head over to my Batman page.

Running time: 131 minutes
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Rogue Nation starts with the IMF team intercepting an A-400 that is carrying nerve gas to be sold to terrorists. Running out of time to stop the airplane, Ethan Hunt, finds himself hanging on to the side of the plane as this takes off, while his tech guy, Benji, has some difficulty opening the door for him.

The new Alice through the looking glass posters
Your opinion?
Looking at these posters I felt a profound sadness.
The Mad Hatter is saying to everyone good-bye, leaving the scene with, behind him. a lot of wasted and broken time,
in a desert land without serenity, but also the poster with Alice as protagonist is incredibly sad.
The girl is walking on these clocks, the term of our human measure for the Time but she doesn’t appear joyous at all. The uncertainty of life…
