“I’m Electro,” Jaime Foxx states in this first moving look at the iconic Spiderman villain, “Bogey woogey woogey.” Ok, maybe he doesn’t finish the sentiment with that classic lyric line but, nonetheless, it is still somewhat interesting that the first official trailer that we’re getting from the film features Foxx’s Electro while not even give...
I kind of want to kick myself for saying it but I really like this Comic Con teaser poster for the next big installation in the monster king himself: Godzilla. As more of a remake of Toho‘s classic – not to be confused with the Roland Emmerich version with Matthew Broderick – than a continuation...

You may be unfamiliar with the name Edge of Tomorrow, as it has been going by the moniker “All You Need is Kill” until quite recently, but it is the same project entirely. Directed by Doug Liman of The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow follows officer Bill Cage (Cruise). Suited up in some advanced...
Just when the Interstellar cast is looking as stacked as it could possibly be, nerd-god Christopher Nolan goes and adds John Lithgow (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Ellen Burstyn (Requiem for a Dream) to his already massive cast.

When his brother (Affleck) comes back from war, gets involved with the wrong people and mysteriously...
How to Train Your Dragon is one of the greatest animated movies of the past ten years. Had it not gone head-to-head against Toy Story 3, I don’t doubt that it would have walked away with Best Animated film but 2010 was a year on fire for animated films, a year that also included Coraline...

Starring Idris Elba as Mandela, this...
