Movies: Opening this week

The Avengers A bunch of mopey superheroes with nothing better to do try to save the world in Joss Whedon’s slam-bang 3-D adaptation of the Marvel Comics series. With Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, and Chris Hemsworth as the mighty Thor. PG-13 Sound of My Voice A low-budget indie starring Brit Marling (the star of last summer’s sci-fi indie, Another Earth), about a Los Angeles cult leader and her troop of followers. Needless to say, things get weird. R
