With Iron Man 3 already in theaters (and doing bang-up business) now is the time to start getting excited for some of the other tentpole releases of the summer, and the other really big superhero movie of the year. Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is nearly a month away from release, and now they're starting to show how huge this movie is going...
If you're looking for the next Goodfellas with The Iceman, then this film will disappoint you. While you do get stellar performances out of the talent, the movie's timeline and character focus is so imbalanced that it's difficult to really pay attention to the film.
On the surface, Richard Kuklinski appeared to be your average family man. But when he left home he became a ruthless murderer who's believed to have slaughtered roughly 200 people. His career as a mafia hitman didn't last forever, but his terrifying legacy remains. Years after his death, filmmaker Ariel Vromen struggled to bring Kuklinski's story to theaters, and he did...

Just a couple of days ago the internet was swept off their feet by the latest trailer for Zack Snyder's new movie Man of Steel. Even people on the fence, including myself, have to admire how incredibly badass the film looks right now. Since we're still all wiping the drool off of our mouths from the latest trailer, Warner Bros revealed some concept...
As if Michael Shannon wasn't terrifying enough already, he's now making threats to humans in static-y videos. His demands? He wants the earth to give him Superman within 24 hours or he'll destroy it. Last night, during the MTV Movie Awards, Warner Bros. kicked off a new viral campaign for Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel, which showed us Shannon as General Zod.
While the movie gods have seen fit to basically drop every possible Iron Man 3 and The Wolverine spoiler possible upon eager comic book movie fans, there hasn’t been much more than a whisper of details coming from the ultimate superhero film, Man of Steel (and by “ultimate” we simply mean the biggest superhero, so don’t get all pouty, The Dark...
While most of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder’s take on the Superman franchise (with a little help from producer Christopher Nolan), is still a mystery, Russell Crowe has recently come out with some spoiler-y information on the upcoming superhero film, and seems to definitely confirm this is going to be in the general ‘dark and gritty’ mode of comic book film, in which we “get into...
Between 1964 and 1986, Richard Kuklinski killed at least 100 people as a professional contract killer for the mob. He even gained a nickname, Iceman, because he would experiment with freezing the corpses of his victims to try and disguise their times of death. In addition to this loveliness, he was apparently a dedicated and loving family man. And who better to play such a charming...
Sure, we've had a teaser trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but the film still feels like something of a mystery. So far in the teaser trailer, we've got a moody Superman/Clark Kent who seems to need to find himself, and no sense of what he's going up against in the film (perhaps ennui). Now there's toy spots that suggest he'll do some flying and fight a robot...

Michael Shannon—if you need someone to play a grim, wild-eyed sociopath, you could do far worse than Shannon. Such must have been director Ariel Vromen’s thinking when casting Michael Shannon as real-life Mafia button man Richard Kuklinski (who killed 100 targets between 1964 and 1986) in the biopic The Iceman.
Towards the end of summer, audiences are given buckets of lackluster films. Most of us associate August with being showered with dull cinematic messes, while anticipating Oscar season. But every once in a while we're blessed with a fun-loving, stupidly over-the-top movie like Premium Rush. It may not be the greatest thing to hit theaters, but it fits the bill...
We're still a year away from Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel,' but it's one of the most anticipated films of 2013, and we're expecting that a trailer will be attached to 'The Dark Knight Rises.' It should be - the film's already in post-production, which means they've got a year to make sure it's amazing. But here is a look at some of the film's...
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a lowly bike messenger sucked into a world of intrigue when he delivers the wrong package in 2012's Premium Rush. He stars with Michael Shannon and Jamie Chung in the latest film from go-to screenwriter David Koepp, who recently wrote the final draft of Men In Black III, and is currently on Johnny Depp's...
So the big news so far this week is that Michael Shannon has been cast as General Zod in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, The Man of Steel.

With Sucker Punch due out tomorrow, it's no surprise that casting rumors and plot details are making heavy rounds for Zack Snyder's Superman: Man of Steel.
