Jaimee Foxx's Electro Was a Major Nerd Before He Blue Himself in THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2

Jaimee Foxx's Electro Was a Major Nerd Before He Blue Himself in THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2

  Before he blue himself, Jaime Foxx’s character did not look so hot as Max Dillon, the man who turns into Electro in The Amazing Spiderman 2. He’s rocking the comb-over equivalent of squid-ink angel hair pasta and sporting pre-Heisenberg Walter White glasses. At least after some kind of electricity accident, he turns into a...

Weekly Review 23: HUSTLE AND FLOW, MANHATTAN, LIKE CRAZY, THE PERFECT HOST

Weekly Review 23: HUSTLE AND FLOW, MANHATTAN, LIKE CRAZY, THE PERFECT HOST

This week I had a chance to catch up with some more films filling out that ever-growing list of “movies to see.” I finally got to see Terrence Howard‘s knockout performance in Hustle and Flow, Woody Allen‘s masterpiece Manhattan, a rocky rom-com Like Crazy and a David Hyde Pierce psychopathic-thriller The Perfect Host.    Hustle...

Thor Holds Hammer, Has Big Arm in First Poster for THOR: THE DARK WORLD

Thor Holds Hammer, Has Big Arm in First Poster for THOR: THE DARK WORLD

This first poster for Thor 2 may be simple and boring and a result of lazy Photoshopping but hey, it’s something. He holds a hammer, a lightning does a strike and his golden, godly locks are a-blowin’.  Two years ago, I was down on the whole Avengers prospect but I will admit that I was...

Out in Theaters: OBLIVION

Oblivion has the DNA of The Matrix, Alien, Wall-E, Terminator and especially Duncan Jones' Moon and while it's hard to ignore the influence that those films had on Oblivion, Kosinski…

First Posters for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and ONLY GOD FORGIVES

First Posters for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and ONLY GOD FORGIVES

  300: Rise of an Empire and Only God Forgives may have a few similarities – gruesome violence, hard R-rating – but I don’t think that there is much to tie the two films together outside the fact that I have brand spankin’ new posters for each of them. One poster is swattered in a...

First R.I.P.D. Trailer Channels MEN IN BLACK

First R.I.P.D. Trailer Channels MEN IN BLACK

With the first trailer just debuting, this afterlife secret agency flick, R.I.P.D., which stands for Rest in Peace Division, sure seems to remind me a lot of Men in Black. Sure, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith may have been replaced by Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds respectively, but with all the gadgetry, puns and...

Final STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Trailer Boldly Goes Somewhere I Refuse to Watch

Final STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Trailer Boldly Goes Somewhere I Refuse to Watch

  With all the hype and anticipation for J.J. Abram‘s Star Trek into Darkness, the last thing I want to be caught doing is watching this third (or is it fourth?) and final trailer. These days, things have a way of petering themselves out before they even hit theaters. Overexposure and crucial plot and character...
