Rachel McAdams Set For Spiderman 4?
As far as superheroes go, Spiderman ranks right up there with Superman and Batman. We all know when it comes right down to it. It has been a couple of years since the last Spiderman movie, but Sam Raimi has been working not on just one movie but two for the series. Late this week, we had an announcement of a potential villain for the movie. Looks like we could see Rachel McAdams come in to play Black Cat in the fourth installment of the series. Not a done deal yet, but it looks good. Her...

“Justice League” The Complete Series
Who didn't watch Justice League as a kid?  I used to enjoy sitting down with my brother and watching them take on formidable foes and kick some major villain ass. The show included some of the world’s greatest superheroes.  Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter joined forces to create the Justice League and take on “powerful villains, Supernatural creatures and evil entities.”  What else would a show about superheroes...

What Was It Superman Returns Was Missing? Oh Ya, More Of The Movie.
Hey, I liked Superman Returns. I thought it was a really cool Superman flick. I thought Brandon Routh did a great job and despite the whole Real Estate villain plot, the rest of the movie was pretty damn cool. And when I first saw it, I had always wished I could have seen the extra 15-20 minutes my boss had seen when he saw the film. He told me all about this awesome space footage that was cut out at the beginning and missing scenes that helped to explain certain things that happened during the...

Nobody Cares: Dane Cook Wants to Play The Riddler: PHOTO

Dane Cook is Absolutely High: VIDEO
Dane Cook is a moron. He is an unfunny, clueless, meathead. Let me just get that out of the way. In an interview with MTV, Dane Cook says that something he’d like to do is play The Joker or The Riddler in a Batman movie, were they ever to bring those two characters back. Yes, the parts played by geniuses like Heath Ledger and Jim Carey. Dane Cook legitimately has no idea that he’s never going to be anything more than what he is. His movies suck, his stand up hasn’t been funny...

James McTeigue Says 'Superman' Movie Is In 'A Weird Place'
In August, James McTeigue told MTV News he would neither confirm nor deny rumors that he might direct the next "Superman" movie. What he was keen to do was delve into his vision for the next big-screen take on the Man of Steel : he wanted to start the franchise from scratch, avoid an origin story and make the whole thing super dark . McTeigue had so much to say, it was hard to avoid the idea that he'd had some sort of contact with DC Comics or Warner Brothers about the project. Then last month,...
