Movies out today: It's Spidey time… again
A trio of new movies hit South African cinemas today, although I’m sure the public will only be flocking to one… Last Updated: July 13, 2012
This is what the Amazing Spider-Man's costume almost looked like
When the first few images for the Amazing Spider-Man costume began leaking out, it caused a lot of controversy. And by “controversy” I actually just mean a bunch of die-hard comic book geeks mumbling about how shiny his shoes looked, or what was up with the streaks on his arm. I should know, I was one of them. But if …
We review AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3D – Not quite so amazing after all
It’s now almost 1 am and I’ve just restarted this review for about the 8th time. Normally I would have hammered out some scalding but pithy one liner or adulatory hyperbole hours ago, but unfortunately I’ve encountered a problem. See, it’s easy to tear a horrible movie limb from bad tasting limb or to just look up synonyms for “awesome” …

New Australian trailer for Amazing Spider-Man shows us some new footage
It’s just over a month away until a sticky-fingered man in pyjamas with an arachnid fetish is once again swinging into our cinemas. We’ve been shown quite a bit of The Amazing Spider-Man – director Marc Webb’s Spider-man reboot – through pictures and trailers, and I’ve personally liked what I’ve seen so far. The new cast seems to a great …
Andrew Garfield on the origin of that horribly embarrassing Spider-Man singing video, would he join the Avengers and some new behind-the-scenes pics
In yesterday’s Extras we featured a video by Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield that was less a singing Spider-Man commercial than it was evidence to be presented at the Hague in a crime against humanity trial. Now Andrew Garfield spills to Vulture on how that rather embarrassing (and physically painful to listen to) video came to be. And no, unlike what …

New 4-Minute preview of Amazing Spider-Man brings some classic Spidey action
The Amazing Spider-Man has been steadily winning me over to it’s rebooted side with that latest trailer as well as the recent Lizard featurette. As much as I enjoyed the two Sam Raimi films (What do you mean there’s a third? Clearly you need to stop eating your crayons. There was no Spider-Man 3.), I’m somehow just getting more of a …
