It seems that superheroes, like the poor, are with us always. While the comics industry may ebb and wane, these costumed vigilantes have become the economical mainstay of the movie business, and we can expect them to dominate a few weekends every year for years to come. So everybody just back off, this week Captain American and Iron Man are coming to town in Captain America: Civil War. Will it be any better (could it be any worse?) than Batman v. Superman? Does it matter? Our Piers Marchant considers the question in Friday's Style section.
But just because that's the only film that's opening doesn't mean that's all we've got. Marchant and editor Philip Martin were both at the recent Tribeca Film Festival, and both of them have thoughts. And Karen Martin has the latest on home movies. And Dan Lybarger talks to one of the brains behind Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax.com.
