Spider-man

Spider-Man sequel's "soundtrack supergroup" sounds... erm... shit?

And I'm not just saying that because 'shit' begins with 's': Hans Zimmer, Pharrell Williams, Dave Stewart, Johnny Marr and Incubus’s Michael Einziger will all be squabbling over the triangle when they team up to record the soundtrack for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I can't watch that 'Electro' teaser without thinking of this

This might be Spider-Man's least fearsome enemy yet (original Amazing Spider-Man 2 teaser here).

6 things Jamie Foxx's Spider-Man villain Electro (sort of) looks like

Modelling themselves on photographer Peter Parker, paparazzi snoopers managed to snag themselves some cool pictures of Jamie Foxx in make-up, if not in costume, as The Amazing Spider-Man 2's villain Electro. We can't help but think he looks a little familiar. A bit like...

Proof that Seth MacFarlane's sexism is anything but harmless

Nobody told me it was National Sexism Week. I would have bought a badge or something. First came Seth MacFarlane's boob-centric stint as Oscars host, then everyone piled in to insult a 21-year-old American actress walking down the street for not being as attractive as a comic-book character.

Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

One of the most difficult things about being a film critic (you there, no laughing at the back) is divorcing the film you're watching from any of the surrounding hysteria. Maybe the film has arrived on a tidal wave of hype; maybe you're aware of a troubled production; or, let's say, for argument's sake, it's a reboot of a movie, or series of movies, that you hold dear. These things can influence an opinion; it's your job to make sure they don't. The Amazing Spider-Man is one of the first movies I've had to review where I felt I literally couldn't review the 136 minutes of film I saw without commenting on the fact that I fundamentally disagree with the fact that it exists.
