This is a really cool idea, but is WAY to expensive. It's pretty much the same thing as the steel case mentioned a few days ago HERE. This set is just put into a limited edition humidor, and costs $700. It is a nice looking humidor that says "The World Is Yours" on it, and might actually be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 by itself, but it all just seems a little too much for me. Here's some details:
Inspired by the modern-day classic from acclaimed director Brian De Palma (Carlito's Way) and Oscar-winning writer Oliver Stone (Born on the Fourth of July), the Limited Edition Scarface Humidor is handcrafted by the world renowned Daniel Marshall for the ultimate collector and cigar enthusiast. A decadent collector's item limited to only 1,000 pieces worldwide, it pays tribute to Academy Award winner Al Pacino's (The Godfather) stunning portrayal of Tony "Scarface" Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted on film.
The humidor's exterior is hand painted and polished with Marshall's trademark ""1000"" coat brilliant finish, and its interior is made of untreated Spanish cedar complete with an analog hygrometer, guaranteed to properly condition and age approximately 100 cigars at optimal humidity levels. Expertly fitted with brass hinges in exemplary Daniel Marshall style and embellished with a custom medallion inspired by the iconic film, each humidor carries a numbered plaque, a certificate of authenticity with the designer's signature, and the Limited Edition Scarface Blu-ray encased in collectible SteelBook packaging with a digital copy of the film, a DVD of the 1932 version of Scarface plus 10 original art cards. The action-packed Blu-ray features an all-new eye-popping remastered picture, explosive 7.1 audio track and never-before-seen bonus features.
Lots of great stuff in this set. Also, if you like good movies at all, this movie is a must have to any collection. Also, this is a pretty good haul of things for $35. Here's all the stuff you get:

This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983. Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia. Universal's special edition digital video disc includes a documentary about the making of the film that features numerous interviews and several deleted scenes. –Jeff Shannon

If you just caught the Captain America movie and feel like you need a shield, well you're in luck. There's not a lot of detail about it, which is a shame. They could at least tell you if there's straps on the back so you could wear it. Seriously, if you're going to buy one of these, you at least need to put it on and wack one of your friends with it. Here's the limited details:
Take home this fantastic replica of Steve Rogers' defensive device! This instantly recognizable deluxe shield is crafted from metal and makes a great addition to a costume, wall, or collection. It measures approximately 23 3/4-inches in diameter and is perfect for display or extraordinary protection.
The shield is $60, and you can grab one by clicking HERE.
I really wanted to catch this in the theater, but a friend of mine would have killed me if I went with someone else, and yet he flaked out on me for the short time it was showing. So I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it if you're ok with the grindhouse type of movie (think Machete). Plus, it has Rutger Hauer in it. What more do you need to know?
You can grab this one for about $18 over at Amazon by clicking HERE.
I wasn't all that impressed with the last installment of the M:I franchise, but I must admit, this looks pretty good. Plus, after the pretty bad movie Knight & Day, Tom Cruise really needs a hit. Here's the trailer:
The coolest thing about this is that it actually lights up. At 7" high and 16.5" long, it's also a good size. The downside is that it's $300, though you can pay for it at $90 a pop until it's yours. Here's the details:

There's a lot of things with this one, but overall I'm not all that excited about most of them. Not that their bad, just not my thing. Here's the details:
After 10 years in prison, Driver has a singular focus – to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to-do list in hand, he's finally on his mission…but with two men on his trail – a veteran cop just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It's a do or die race to the list's finish as the mystery surrounding his brother's murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver's list may be incomplete.
