The Death Pool
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Written by Agatha Christie
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Cillian Murphy, Gene Hackman, David Bowie, Wilt Chamberlain, Truman Capote, with Dennis Hopper and Robert DeNiro.
In this riveting Hitchcock-directed, Christie-written classic, four professional friends (DiCaprio, Cooper, Murphy, Banks) who meet on a weekly basis to discuss all things local and wordly, are interupted at their normal bar on evening by a highly eccentric man (Hopper) who rants on anything or anyone that they question him about. Pretty soon, any famous person the eccdentric man mentions unexpectantly dies in an unusual manner. The friends at first think that it is all a coincidence until too many odd deaths occur. Was the eccentric man a seer, coincidental, or is this all part of a major conspiracy? Meanwhile, there is a love triangle concerning Dicaprio and Cooper with Banks and a snooping private eye in Hackman. Chamberlain, Capote, Bowie and DeNiro play themselves.
Heroes For Hire
Danny Rand (Daniel Craig) aka Iron Fist, Luke Cage(Michael Clark Duncan), Misty Knight (Stacey Dash), and Colleen Wing (Lucy Liu) run a detective agency that specializes in superhuman cases. Rand and Knight are also involved in an intimate relationship.
Parker Robbins aka The Hood (Josh Holloway) has designs on running the entirety of the criminal activity in New York City. He has recruited Madame Masque (Monica Belluci), Davos (Bruce Lee)aka the Steel Serpent, Moonstone (Sarah Michelle Gellar), and the Purple Man (David Duchovny) to his cause, forming a group known as The Cabal. The Hood and Madame Masque are also involved in an intimate relationship.
Purple Man gains control of Wing’s mind, forcing her to feed The Hood info regarding Heroes for Hire investigations, allowing the Cabal to evade capture and eventually leading to the Cabal setting a trap for the Heroes.
There are several minor fight scenes, including Cage vs. Moonstone, Knight vs. Masque, and Iron Fist vs. Steel Serpent.
In the climactic final fight scene, on the verge of victory, the Hood loses control of his mystical cape to Dormammu—the demon who gives it its power. Purple Man is killed in the ensuing melee, and Wing regains her mind in time to steal an unconscious Moonstone’s gem and use it against Dormammu, killing herself in the process.
Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) arrives at the Heroes for Hire offices the next day to offer the three surviving members a place in the Avengers. Cage and Iron Fist accept, but Misty decides to continue running Heroes for Hire.
