Win Tickets To An Advance For The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on 4/30/2014 at 7:00PM in Sacramento at Esquire IMAX Theatre. We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man ( Andrew Garfield ). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen ( Emma Stone ). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro ( Jamie Foxx ), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn ( Dane DeHaan ), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man.

It's not exactly unusual for superheroes to team up. Spider-Man and the X-Men have done so on numerous occasions in the comics, so it should come as no surprise that they are doing so again - sort of - on the big screen. But surprise! There is an X-Men: Days Of Future Past clip in the credits of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , which marks a possible new era of collaboration between competing studios with Fox and Sony working together. Now this isn't a post-credits sting as we've seen before in the Marvel universe, setting up some sort of crossover between the two worlds. Rather, it's a clip from the X-film that gives us a taste of the action we're in for. We've been told by Sony that the clip will be attached to the film in the UK. The scene featured sees Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, Lucas Till's Havok and Evan Jonigkeit's Toad taking on William Stryker (Josh Helman) and his military men. Without wishing to spoil anything, let's just say

Drew Goddard also is writing the film, which will focus on the villains of the Spider-Man universe. The Cabin in the Woods helmer Drew Goddard is nearing a deal to direct Sinister Six , the Spider-Man spinoff that he's also writing. Goddard, who worked with Kurtzman, Orci and Jeff Pinkner on TV’s  Alias , was one of the saviors of  World War Z  after that movie ran into third act trouble. He wrote and made his directorial debut with the 2012 horror film  The Cabin in the Woods , and will write and executive produce Netflix's  Daredevil . In December, Sony hired Goddard to pen the script for the film, which will focus on the villains in Spider-Man's world. In an effort to expand the Spider-Man universe, Sony in December also hired Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci , and Ed Solomon to work on another spinoff, titled Venom , centered on the black-costumed villain that already made his big-screen debut in the third Spider-Man movie of the Sam Raimi trilogy. Kurtzman will d

Here’s the latest International TV Spot for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 , we get some never before scenes in the clip. The plot goes a little something like this: Peter is still balancing acts of heroism with romancing Gwen and trying to live up to his Uncle Ben’s ( Martin Sheen) credo about responsibility. Oh, and he doesn't want to make his Aunt May ( Sally Field ) worry too much. Three villains have been revealed - Electro, Paul Giamatti's Rhino and Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborne (and, it seems from the trailer, Green Goblin) - all of whom want to squish Andrew Garfield's red and blue hero like a, um, bug.

Sony Pictures has unleashed this FINAL new trailer for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 .

There have been many trailers for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 . This, the latest, is a whole three minutes long, and though it features plenty of footage we've already seen, it also has a decent chunk of new Spidey goodness. Pin back your earholes and prepare for a new dose of arachnid dubsteppery. This snippet comes very much from Jamie Foxx's chief bad guy Electro's perspective, with plenty of spooky monologuing going on, but there are still a few humour beats to enjoy, in particular between Gwen Stacy ( Emma Stone ) and Peter Parker ( Andrew Garfield ). As there's so much on show here, fingers crossed there'll be a lot of surprises still in store for cinemagoers when it's finally released.

Another day, another pointer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , as the drip-drop of posters, clips and information continues. The latest offering comprises three posters that show one of the film's set-pieces. Does anyone else feel like we might just possibly see a major Times Square showdown in this film? Jamie Foxx's Electro is in the same pose in all three pictures here, suggesting that he's been cut-and-pasted for the promotion and we shouldn't draw too much from what we see of him. What's much more exciting is the other grimacing face we see projected on the Square's jumbo screens. That's clearly Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, but judging by the drawn brows, the toothy snarl and the hint of a collared green costume, it's also the Green Goblin, and a slightly better look than we've previously seen. The film of course sees Andrew Garfield step back into the Spidey-suit as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, Emma Stone return as Gwen Stacey and

You may recall that in mid-December the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 swung online. Hidden within was a URL for a website (then called " electroarrives ", now mysteriously renamed " enemiesunite ") on the single page of which was a countdown to New Year's Eve. What would happen then? Now we know: it's a new teaser trailer for the film, introduced by Stan "The Man" Lee himself, true believers! Unsurprisingly given the location where it was revealed, the new clip expands on the glimpses we'd already seen of some Spidey-vs-Electro action in New York's Times Square. There is quipping and there is thwipping. The film sees Peter Parker ( Andrew Garfield ) more comfortable in his Spider-skin these days and enjoying his abilities, along with girlfriend Gwen Stacey ( Emma Stone ). But his good mood is about to be tested when new villains appear in the shape of Jamie Foxx's Electro and Paul Giamatti's Rhino, and

In the new issue of Empire (out on Tuesday, December 31), as we preview the 25 biggest films to watch out for in 2014. One of those is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , and the magazine holds an in-depth look at the villain of the piece, Jamie Foxx's Max Dillon. Here, to give you just a taste of what's inside, are two new images of Electro - but if you are spoiler-averse, one of these images shows a recognisable silhouette standing in front of Electro, so tread carefully and don't look too closely. The second Spider-film, of course, sees Andrew Garfield's friendly neighbourhood Spidey come up against a range of baddies, just as he's beginning to settle in and enjoy his super-powered life and super-hot girlfriend Gwen Stacey ( Emma Stone ). The new ne'er-do-wells include Paul Giamatti's Rhino, Foxx's Electro and Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborne (and, it seems from the trailer, Green Goblin). Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Saving Mr. Banks Review By: MattInRC What did we think of the feel-good Saving Mr. Banks ? Read on to find out! Read more to learn just how much the tug-at-your-heartstrings Saving Mr. Banks wants desperately to be an Oscar winner. As we head into the Oscar season - a time when Hollywood supposedly gives us the best they've got - the first volley arrives in the entertaining Saving Mr. Banks . Set in the early 1960's, writer Pamela Travers ( Emma Thompson ) has agreed to turn her novel Mary Poppins into a full-length Disney feature film. Alone and fiercely protective of her work, she's been wooed for 20 years by Walt Disney ( Tom Hanks ) to give up her rights. But the decision to do so - at least early on - is motivated by financial reasons: the royalties to her beloved book are exhausted, and so she grudgingly journeys to Los Angeles to meet Disney and his creative team. From the moment she arrives, Travers clashes with the affable Sherman brothers (

Below are quotes from the Golden Globe Nominees for 12 YEARS A SLAVE . 12 YEARS A SLAVE is based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom. In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup ( Chiwetel Ejiofor ), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.

Steve McQueen BEST DIRECTOR “Thank you very much to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for acknowledging our efforts in making 12 Years A Slave.

Turbo Blu-ray Review By: MattInRC Turbo's fast moves and beautiful animation look and sound great in its home release, but it leaves us wanting more. DreamWorks' newest animated film Turbo is proof positive of a growing trend for the genre: the production of slick-looking yet mindless pap. Gone are the days when Disney ruled with its films filled with hope AND a well-crafted message. And while Turbo isn't terrible, there's too many characters who just aren't as funny or profound as they could have been. Its arrival onto Blu-ray comes with reference quality audio and video, but it doesn't change our malaise. The Movie - 3/5 Garden slug Theo (voiced by Ryan Reynolds ) lives with a community of snails who set out daily to collect fallen and spoiled tomatoes from the family garden, all while listening to safety announcements from his anxious brother Chet ( Paul Giamatti ). He's got reason to panic: the local crows regularly pick off the snails, and a
