With all the excitement of The Avengers arriving in theaters on Friday, Marvel decided to give us even more to be excited about with the first two official stills of The Lizard (Rhys Ifans) in The Amazing Spider-Man. The pictures are not the best quality, and seem to be screenshots from the trailer that will debut tomorrow.

Upon first hearing about the movie Hitchcock, based on the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello, I was unsure about Anthony Hopkins portraying the man himself. This is not because Mr. Hopkins does not have the chops to do so - he does - but because I could not imagine him as the famed director.

This week, my question has finally been answered and to say the least, the first image of Hopkins as Hitchcock has blown away my expectations.
Upon opening my internet browser yesterday afternoon I discovered, along with thousands of others, the death of television legend Dick Clark. He was 82 years old and he passed away on Wednesday, April 18th, from a massive heart attack, according to his agent Paul Shefrin. Some might remember that in 2004, Clark suffered a stroke, which caused many of his televised appearances to be cut short, such as appearances on "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve." For the past couple of years the show has been hosted with the help of American Idol's own Ryan Seacrest.
