He may not be ready to spill all of Superman / Batman’s secrets just yet, but Ben Affleck , the man who inspired such online vitriol for daring to think he could embody The Dark Knight has at least tried on the Bat suit. And, whilst talking to Entertainment Weekly about the release of Argo on Blu-ray, he did drop a few hints about having seen Zach Snyder’s preparations for shooting the superhero mash-up. Clearly, Snyder’s build up to production has impressed Affleck. “What I’ll say is that I really like Zack. From what I’ve seen of what’s Zack is doing, it’s made me very excited. One of the nice things about being an actor in that movie is they show you all the stuff before anyone else gets to see it. So all the sort of world-creation, and the take on the character and the other characters is really exciting. And at the end of the day, the truth is it’s really directors that make movies work or not – especially these kinds of movies, where it’s about the whole world, and a rising t

June's Best month Ever Erases Most Of Hollywood's Slide, But Problems Remain Going Forward By; MattInRC With six months of the 2013 movie season completed, we learn why Hollywood needed a strong June. Read on to find out why! Believe it or not, I do sometimes pay to see a movie. But as a guy who reviews over 100 films a year for free, I have noticed just how empty theaters were during the last quarter when a film wasn't free. I equate it to visiting a funeral home and their unfortunate guests, with morose looks similar to the faces of theater managers who couldn't figure out what why their loved one had suddenly passed on. Who could blame them: 2012 was one of the most productive years for movies, both in terms of critical acclaim and box office receipts. With nothing on the scale of The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises in the pipeline to encourage high traffic, the trend had to favor downward. But no one was prepared for the avalanche: simply put, the firs

Man Of Steel Review By: MattInRC The epic and beautiful Man of Steel returns Superman to the big screen and settles a long-standing debate. If you've a fan of the online series Honest Trailers , you know their finest effort ( The Avengers ) laughingly tells audiences that as a result of Marvel's command of the box office, competitor DC has been placed on ' suicide watch .' Who could blame them: after a commercially successful but disappointing Dark Knight Rises and still stinging from the awful Green Lantern , the studio that first brought comic book heroes into the modern era seemed adrift and down for the count. Luckily the release of Man of Steel proves DC still has some fight in them, producing a beautifully-shot and thoroughly-enjoyable effort, even if some character development is lacking. The story of Kal-El/Superman begins on the distant planet of Krypton, which is embroiled in a civil war between the established leadership and the war hero

Hollywood's Positive Month Doesn't Cure The Patient's Long-Term Issues. By: MattInRC Back in late March, we reviewed the top box office performers year-to-date but also lamented about Hollywood's continued domestic woes . Among the bad news we reported at that time: As of March 30th, the industry (compounded monthly) was down a staggering 63%; Five of the top 10 films were leftover releases from 2012; April was similarly terrible, reflecting a 12% loss from 2012 - at $634,100,000 - with a compounded-monthly loss of 75%; The market hasn't seen such poor performances since 2011. These bits of data could have created bad omens for the Summer 2013 schedule, which does not have an Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, or Skyfall (all of which made $2 billion domestically) to lead the charge. But, we did have several intriguing releases such as Star Trek: Into Darkness , Fast Six , and Iron Man 3 . So, how did the critical month of May fair for Hollywood? A

After several moody, tonally Terrence Malick-style teases for Man Of Steel , and then that impressive, grandiose effort more recently, things kick up a notch further on the action stakes with this combat-laden new trailer. There’s a greater chance for big moments (fights, not plot) to be spoiled, so take care, but otherwise… enjoy. While I clean myself up. Launched with another message from Michael “ I WILL FIND HIM !” Shannon’s General Zod as he demands that we Earthlings tell him where Kal-El is hiding, it then segues into a blistering barrage of action scenes as Superman ( Henry Cavill ) faces off against Zod and, in particular in this one, Antje Traue’s Faora, who delivers a chilling threat to our hero: “For every human you save, we will kill a million more…” So if you were wondering whether Zod and Faora would be basically decent types, there’s your answer. Those two (and the Kryptonians they brought with them) are not messing around. Man Of Steel will also find Kal-El tr

Though there have been several one-sheets online already, we’ve clearly reached the point in the Man Of Steel promotional campaign where the character posters come striding out. Welcome, then, Supes himself, General Zod and super-dad Jor-El . Even though Jor-El’s presence in the film is traditionally limited – he might be one of the sources of advice to son Kal-El ( Henry Cavill ), but he perishes along with the rest of planet Krypton early in the story – Crowe’s star power is being used to help boost the film. Which, along with the character’s iconic status, explains why he gets his own image here along with the others. Man Of Steel finds young Kal-El growing up on Earth, raised by the kindly Jonathan ( Kevin Costner ) and Martha Kent ( Diane Lane ). Unsure about his place in society thanks to his incredible powers, he chooses at first to hide away, hunted by reporter Lois Lane ( Amy Adams ) who has heard the tales of his feats.
