Henry Cavill as Superman (Photo)

Alright, so it’s a morning of images. This is yet another image I find interesting. It gives us a look at Henry Cavill as our favorite, red-caped super hero in what looks like a bit more candid shot from the film and not a posed shot.

I’m still looking forward to seeing Amy Adams as Lois Lane myself. I’ve loved Amy Adams in pretty much anything she’s been in and I’m hoping she’ll just blow this role away. Though I love the first Superman film staring Christopher Reeve, and to a lesser extent the second (don’t even speak to me about 3 and 4), I was never a big fan of Margot Kidder as Lois…

Sam Raimi‘s new prequel to The Wizard of Oz opens in a couple months, and to complement the most recent TV spots and trailer, we’ve got some new high-res photos that show off the characters played by James FrancoMichelle Williams, and others.

Oz: The Great and Powerful follows a magician (Franco) whose escape from a small town con game turns into a path to a new world, as he pilots a balloon that is blown off course into Oz. There he meets a trio of witches (Williams, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz) and a few odd characters such as the monkey Finley (voiced by Zach Braff) and China Girl…

Melinda Snodgrass on ‘Django’

Christopher Waltz who won an academy award for his performance as the chilling and charming Nazi Colonel Han Landa in Inglourious Bastards is just wonderful as the German/dentist/bounty hunter in Django.  Charming, funny, kind, but with a dark streak.  Jaime Foxx really comes into his own in the second half of the film, and Samuel Jacksons turn as an old plantation slave is amazing.  Leonardo diCaprio has a wonderful time playing the villainous plantation owner.  The script is good — Tarantino has a real flair for how to tell a story, and he makes sure that one small thing that happens…

‘Hansel and Gretel’ Red Band Trailer

‘Hansel and Gretel’ Red Band Trailer

Since I have posted about Hansel and Gretel and mentioned that I have been interested in seeing it and that I think it looks like it might be good (frankly it could go either way), I thought I would let you know about the red band trailer so that if you do happen to decide to go see it because, “TJ is going to see it,” then you know what you are getting yourself into.

Be warned, this trailer is a little bloody (though I’ve seen worse red band trailers), and there is an F-bomb in here. I expect the film to be a little bloody, just as this trialer is.

BE WARNED - THIS IS A RED BAND…

There is one word echoing around in the area where my head used to be.…

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Comes to Home Entertainment on Feb 12
Disney

On HD Digital Feb 12 On Blu-ray Combo Pack Mar 5

Prepare for adventure when “the most original film in years” (Bryan Erdy, CBS-TV) that thrilled audiences of all ages drops on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D! From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph.

If you have not seen the film in theaters, this is a good time to make up for that sin.

Batman Unmasked

Batman Unmasked

Oh, sure, everyone thinks they know what Bruce Wayne looks like. But for different fans, that has a very different answer. Today’s fans, of course, think of Christian Bale as Batman, while their parents probably think of Michael Keaton. And Grandpa? Why, he’s all about Adam West.

Now, though, the whole family can stop bickering over Batman (finally!) thanks to this great composite photo, which takes the faces of all five big screen Bruce Waynes and merges them together into one new, distinct and yet instantly recognizable face.

I have no idea why this is so fun, but trust me, it is.…

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek’

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek’
NextMovie

For most fans, of course, the delay has been just a minor irritant. But for one fan named Dan, it was something more, as Dan has been diagnosed with a non-treatable form of cancer. On Christmas Day, his friends and family took to the internet, posting his story on Reddit, with one plea: Help get Dan an advance screening of “Star Trek Into Darkness.”

And for director J.J. Abrams, that was one request he couldn’t deny.

“It was truly amazing that a filmmaker so secretive as J.J. Abrams was kind enough to show this to us,” Dan’s wife posted a few days ago. “It is also so wonderful for his…
