Watch Everything Wrong with Batman & Robin, as George Clooney talks Bat-nipples
2 hours ago
If you are a film fan and haven’t seen anything from the hilarious and brilliant guys over at Cinema Sins, shame on you. For the last couple of years, they have worked their way through many a movie, thumbing their way through continuity errors, contradictions or point of plain stupidity in everything from Man of Steel to Iron Man 3, from Titanic to The Wizard of Oz. Nothing is off limits, but finally they have worked their Sin magic on “The Motherload”, namely Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin.
If ever a movie was up for a “Let me count the ways…” treatment, this is it. In fact, just this week former Batman George Clooney answered fan questions of Reddit about the movie. His biggest regrets: Bat nipples, and the fact that in the heavy suit, Anyone could beat Batman. Clooney said:
"Well I wasn't thrilled with the nipples on the Batsuit. »

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Super Bowl spot teases the death of Gwen Stacy
2 hours ago
A few days ago, Emma Stone teased the possibility of the upcoming superhero sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2 following its original source material when it comes to the fate of Gwen Stacy, and now a Super Bowl teaser has arrived online which indicates just as much... of course we all know that Andrew Garfield's wall-crawler will save the day, right?
We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.
It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New »

X-Men producer "dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum"
2 hours ago
Back in September, Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie) spoke about his desire to portray the X-Men's Cajun card-thrower Gambit on the big screen (a role previously filled by Taylor Kitsch in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and now veteran X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner has spoken briefly about the possibility, stating that she's "dying" to make it a reality.
"I'm dying to do a Gambit movie with Channing Tatum," Shuler Donner told Empire Online. "That doesn't have to be a great big movie. It's a thief in New Orleans, it's a whole different story. He's on board, and I have to get the studio on board. How can anyone resist Channing? He's such a sweetheart."
Would you like to see Tatum taking on the role of Gambit in a future X-Men / solo movie? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below »

Special Features - Why Christoph Waltz should play Lex Luthor
2 hours ago
Anghus Houvouras on why Christoph Waltz should play Lex Luthor....
With Batman vs. Superman being pushed back to 2016, there's been something a vacuum in terms of news regarding the much anticipated pairing. We've heard about Gal Gadot joining the cast as Wonder Woman, and we've gotten some details on the new costumer Ben Affleck will be wearing, but we still haven't heard the most important detail:
Who's going to play Lex Luthor?
There has been conversations and rumblings since the movie was first announced. Superman's arch-nemesis is a character that has decades of history in the comics and many iterations. Originally Luthor was a mad scientist. A great, malevolent mind who sought to use his intellect to defeat the Man of Steel. Over time, this version of the character was transformed into a more lethal businessman who seemed more akin to Marvel's Kingpin than the crazed scientist that first »

Jennifer Lawrence to star in David O. Russell's next film?
3 hours ago
It appears as though David O. Russell's (The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook) focus upon families in his work reflects his real-life priorities. If you get along with him in the process of making a movie *cough* not you, Lily Tomlin *cough*, you can usually expect to be approached for his next project. So it's no surprise the director wants Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games) to star in his next film.
Their collaborations have worked well in the past, with Lawrence and Russell receiving Oscar nominations for both Silver Linings Playbook and the recent American Hustle (Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams).
The director reportedly wants Lawrence for the lead role in a biopic about Joy Mangano, the inventor of the Miracle Mop. A single mum working three separate jobs to support her family, Mangano became a multi-millionaire thanks to her invention.
Russell intends to rewrite a script from Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids) for the project, »

Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Kirsten Wiig and more for Sausage Party
3 hours ago
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's 2013 movie This Is The End was, apparently, not the end for that particular cast of comedy actor chums as The Wrap have confirmed a whole bunch of them will reunite to provide voices for Rogen and Goldberg's next project, the animated movie Sausage Party*.
This includes James Franco (Spring Breakers, Homefront), Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street, Superbad), Michael Cera (Juno, Hits), David Krumholtz (Numb3rs, Mr Popper's Penguins) and Nick Kroll (Date Night, Get Him to the Greek), along with Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) to add a female presence.
The movie is described as a "raunchy animated movie about one sausage's quest to discover the truth about his existence." Given the way the meat product is commercially produced, you can't imagine it having the most heartwarming of conclusions. Here's a bit more about the plot:

Chris Evans discusses Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3 hours ago
Yesterday, Marvel Studios released four new posters for its upcoming superhero sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier [see here], and ahead of this Sunday's Super Bowl TV spot, Screen Rant has posted an in-depth set interview with leading man Chris Evans, who spoke about reprising the role of the Sentinel of Liberty for his second solo outing and how he's adapting to his new life in the 21st century.
"He feels comfortable within the structure that he’s given," said Evans when asked whether Steve Rogers has acclimatised to his new surroundings when we catch up with him in the film. "He likes to serve. He likes to take orders. He’s like a herding dog. He needs a task. And I think the issue in the first two, Captain America and The Avengers – well, Captain America - was about giving him the opportunity. Then he got the opportunity, and then he »

Man of Steel inspired trailer for The Lego Movie, plus new TV spots
3 hours ago
Batman vs. Superman may have been pushed back to 2016, but we'll get to see DC's biggest characters joining forces on the big screen this year as part of The Lego Movie, and the latest trailer for the animated comedy has arrived online, parodying last year's Man of Steel trailer, and we've also got a couple of new TV spots, which you can check out after the official synopsis...
"The Lego Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average Lego minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Emmet (Chris Pratt; Parks and Recreation) is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which he is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared."
The Lego Movie opens in the States on February 7th and arrives in the UK the following week, with a voice cast »

Watch Chris O'Dowd vs Nick Frost in a Cuban Fury dance-off
3 hours ago
Cuban Fury is due for a Valentine's Day release in the UK, and you can see exactly why from its lighthearted, dance-based new clip below. It has Nick Frost (The World's End, Attack the Block) facing off against Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids, Girls) in a lunch-break dance-off. Well, it probably burns more calories than the daily trip to Greggs.
Check it out after the official synopsis...
1987: Poised to sweep the floor at the UK Junior Salsa Championships, 13-year-old Bruce Garrett has fire in his heels and the world at his feet… Until a freakish bullying incident robs him of his confidence and his life is diverted down a very different path.

Why was Casino Royale so successful?
5 hours ago
The James Bond franchise has had its ups and downs over its 50 year run run, but where it came together for a lot of people after several missteps was the 21st entry. Casino Royale was parallel to other successful reboots like Star Trek, Batman Begins, and X-Men: First Class which honored what had came before whilst injecting new life into their respective franchises.
Martin Campbell was chosen for the film which made sense because he had already cut his teeth on one of the more critically praised Brosnan Bond movies, GoldenEye. GoldenEye had come after a six year hiatus following Timothy Dalton resigning the role which essentially made GoldenEye a 90's version of Casino Royale. Predictably Campbell delivered in spades, pulling in little bits of inspiration from Batman Begins and the Bourne movies to create a grittier, more realistic Bond, pushing the gadgets and supercars to the background. The result »

Comic Book Review - East of West #9
7 hours ago
Oliver Davis reviews East of West #9...
Another issue in Jonathan Hickman's sprawling East of West, another new character to confuse things. With each installment, the series confounds its already-epic narrative with a new, superfluous thread. It's like the frustrating latter books of George R. R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' saga.
Issue 9 introduces the Crown Prince, John Freeman, as Rather Untrustworthy, A Bit Of A Rogue, Erratic, And...Something Of A Scoundrel in the series' clunkiest piece of character exposition thus far. He is heir to one of the many Kingdoms civilisation split into after the Civil War, which seems to exclusively consist of black people. There is a hint that their race was once enslaved long ago, and was gifted the Gulf by the Republic to make amends. They reaped their riches in oil and now find themselves as one of Earth's most prosperous regions. The »

Red-band trailer for Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West
8 hours ago
Fresh from the huge success of his directorial debut Ted in 2012, Family Guy and American Dad creator Seth MacFarlane returns to the big screen with his sophomore effort A Million Ways To Die in the West, whose first red band trailer premiered today.
Will lightning strike twice for MacFarlane in the film arena, or will it be a step too far? From the trailer, it looks he has another like smash comedy that, like his famous animations, isn’t shy on being rude, crude and utterly tasteless. Just the way we like them!
Set in Arizona in 1882, A Million Ways to Die… stars MacFarlane in the lead as local farmer Albert, who with the help of a former gunslinger’s wife (Charlize Theron; Monster, Prometheus), sets out to win back the heart of ex (Amanda Seyfried; Les Miserables, Lovelace) by beating renowned local criminal (Liam Neeson; Batman Begins, Taken) in a gunfight. »

Neil Marshall to direct NBC's Constantine pilot
10 hours ago
Neil Marshall, director of the likes of Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Centurion and the acclaimed Game of Thrones episode 'Blackwater', has been tapped by NBC to direct its pilot for the upcoming DC television show Constantine.
According to Deadline, "Constantine centers on John Constantine, an enigmatic and irreverent con man-turned-reluctant supernatural detective who is thrust into the role of defending us against dark forces from beyond."
Constantine has been written by Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist) from a story by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman). As yet, there's no word on casting but with the project swiftly picking up pace we shouldn't have too long to see who'll step into Keanu Reeves' shoes as Hellblazer. »

Second Opinion - Lone Survivor (2013)
10 hours ago
Lone Survivor, 2013.
Directed by Peter Berg.
Starring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, Yousuf Azami, Ali Suliman, Eric Bana and Alexander Ludwig.
Synopsis:
Marcus Luttrell and his team set out on a mission to capture or kill notorious al Qaeda leader Ahmad Shahd, in late June 2005. Marcus and his team are left to fight for their lives in one of the most valiant efforts of modern warfare.
If ever a film needed the ‘based on a true story’ title card, then Peter Berg’s Lone Survivor is that film. Some of the things the Navy SEALs go through in this film would be impossible for us to comprehend, but we know it’s based on reality which gives some of the sequences even more of a punch. It also features the best depiction of combat I’ve seen since Black Hawk Down over a decade ago, but in »

With production on Warner Bros.' Batman vs. Superman seemingly underway in Michigan, it should only be a matter of time before we finally get some solid news on the Man of Steel sequel, not to mention our first look at Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, along with Henry Cavill's Man of Steel in his updated costume. We've already heard some comments from costume designer Michael Wilkinson about his work on the hotly-anticipated sequel, and now he's offered up a few more words during a chat with Entertainment Weekly.
"I’m not really at liberty to talk about the details of everything, but suffice to say we really respect the histories of all of these characters. We’re all very reverent about the iconic graphic nature of these characters and their costumes. We see ourselves as part of the natural lineage of how these »
