—Marvel gets another chance to redeem themselves and bring back the once proud Spiderman movie franchise back to respectability. The Amazing Spiderman is a prequel that sheds light on Peter Parker's early beginnings as a teenage superhero.
Alas, what is the solution when a studio wants to breathe new life into a floundering movie franchise? Fire everybody and start from scratch. Literally.
Directed by Marc Webb, most notably known for his movie, 500 Days of Summer, and starring Andy Garfield (of The Social Network), this re-boot takes you back to the high school days of your friendly neighborhood Spiderman, at a time when Gwen Stacy was his main squeeze and Uncle Ben was still alive and well.
Slated to hit theaters this summer with the commonly used 3D treatment, one can only hope this gives the jolt needed and picks up where Spiderman (circa 2004) left off.
For those who appreciate the idea behind Batman, vigilantism is often the solution to crime. But for those who feel being a vigilante is a no-win situation, “Gangster Squad” is a take on that idea and its’ effects in a real world setting.
End of Watch, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena, centres on the hostile relationship between two Los Angeles cops and the cartel ring they mistakenly expose. It’s just another day at the office.
A lot of noise is still surrounding The Avengers, releasing this Friday, and Prometheus, releasing June 7th. But are we so quick to forget about The Dark Knight Rises? I hope not.
From the dawn of history, manliness has defined itself into a rigid and exclusive category. “Mansome”, an upcoming documentary by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, looks to shatter that image, while having your manly belly chuckling the whole way through.
What has been a few seasons in the making and is sure to be one of the most anticipated movies in recent memory, comes the latest Avengers trailer from Marvel Entertainment.
