To paraphrase a famous quote: "Just when you thought you were out, she pulls you back in." And by she, we mean Stephenie Meyer, whose Twilight series spawned four feature films from three books, each one centered on the slightly odd (and increasingly sexual) relationship shared between a teenage girl, a vampire and a werewolf. The last film is out soon, and then all this Twilight stuff should die down for a while. But Meyer's other book (which admittedly looks far more interesting) The Host is on its way in film form (and right on schedule): the latest trailer has just been unveiled to entice you into getting emotional invested in a new weird love story. View it below, if Stephenie Meyer happens to be your sort of thing.
Sometimes it's good to shake things up in the costume department, especially in the Marvel world. Remember when Peter Parker got his emo-suit in Spider-Man when he came into contact with that black liquid? It caused him to do weird stuff like grow a sweeping fringe and jump on tables and act like a total douche. They messed with Iron Man's costumes in Iron Man 2, too, and then messed with it again for The Avengers 'cause Joss Whedon didn't like it.
Welcome to Prep School. Here we'll guide film fans towards those important movies of the past that'll help you to get the best out of any future cinematic releases that might require a bit of history. This time, it's Quentin Tarantino's upcoming spaghetti western Django Unchained.
Wolves are super-in right now, what with their romantic ties to the Twilight series and Liam Neeson going at entire packs with broken bottles strapped to his fingers in The Grey. David Hayter (who is the voice of Solid Snake and a screenwriter) is interested in the fang-toothed canines, too, and his upcoming flick Wolves has just unveiled some images and a synopsis:
Well, here it is: the news you've been waiting for. I mean, maybe you didn't know that you were waiting for it exactly, but deep down in the far recesses of your soul, you've been praying for it. And that tight knot that's been in your stomach since forever? The one you and that team of doctors just haven't been able to figure out? Gone now, huh? Thought as much. Yep. That's what the confirmation of musical numbers in Anchorman 2 can do to a person.
Apparently nothing is allowed to be fun and light-hearted anymore, because that's not the way the world is, man. Don't you see? Now things have got to be all gritty and dark, because otherwise they're not cool, and you don't want to be uncool, do you? So it's not surprise that Man Of Steel's director Zack Snyder has taken the "serious" approach for his upcoming Superman flick. And because he's on Christopher Nolan's leash he kind of has no choice. Probably.
Back when The Lord of the Rings movies were, like, the biggest things ever, we were treated to end credits music by both Enya, Annie Lennox and what I presume was a small boy with an extremely high voice. For The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, director Peter Jackson has gone with Neil Finn of Crowded House fame. So what did they come up with? "The Song Of The Lonely Mountain", and you can listen to over at Rolling Stone.
Nostalgia is a powerful force of human nature. It can transform those distant, often forgotten sections of life into warm and fuzzy periods of happiness that you can't help but yearn for as you make the inevitable trip towards the grave. Which means that seemingly mundane events - like being bathed gently by your mother in an iron tub, or that time you got chased by your weird neighbour because you climbed into his garden to fetch your ball - morph into memories that ring meaningfully with the innocent, care-free joys of youth.
ARK Music Factory have amassed hundreds of millions of views with their YouTube channel, though it's perfectly possible that you've never heard of them (and probably for the best). You have heard of Rebecca Black, though, and her super-popular viral hit "Friday", which gave us properly meaningful lyrics like "Yesterday was Thursday (Thursday)/Today is Friday (Friday)" and "Gotta go downstairs/Gotta have my bowl/Gotta have cereal," which is absolutely the correct way and order to handle a weekday morning.
Bruce Campbell works for you. Not literally, but in the sense that he's been working hard to get your precious Evil Dead remake branded with an R rating. Because that's what you want, isn't it? You want blood and gore and a seemingly endless array of filthy and perverted scenes? You like it, don't you? No, no... You love it. Yes? Well, Campbell loves it too, going be these recent comments, and wants to give you most depraved cut of the film available, apparently:
