Thor
Chris Hemsworth stars as the mighty God of Thunder, Marvel Comics' latest superhero to leap from the four-color page to the big screen in an epic fantasy adventure. Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior, is banished from the realm of Asgard and cast down to Earth as punishment for recklessly reigniting an ancient war. Forced to live among humans, he is befriended by a young woman, Jane Foster. But after a dangerous villain from his world unleashes the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth, the hammer-wielding Thor will learn what it takes to be a true hero in order to save mankind.

Hesher
Loud music. Pornography. Burning stuff to the ground. These are a few of Hesher's favorite things. And they are what Hesher brings into the lives of TJ and his father, Paul, when he takes up residence in their garage uninvited. Grief-stricken by the sudden loss of TJ's mother, Paul can't muster the strength to evict the strange squatter, and soon the long-haired, tattooed Hesher becomes a fixture in the household. Like a force of nature, Hesher's anarchy shakes the struggling family out of their grief and helps them embrace life once more -- in the most unconventional of ways.
