UK Trailer for Joss Whedon's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Based on one of the greater works of the Bard, Much Ado About Nothing has had no shortage of theatrical adaptations with Joss Whedon‘s take serving as the fourth (or fifth if you consider the Hindi adaptation, Dil Chahta Hai). Although they hardly ever demolish at the box office, Shakespearean work is often recycled in...

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...

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...
