Have you ever watched the Japanese Spider-Man TV show? He has a giant robot and rides a cool motorcycle. Sadly, none of that is present in this new “international trailer,” which is just different enough from the regular American trailer to justify posting it. I’m not gonna lie: Spidey looks pretty good. Everybody involved has real love for the character. Sure, the Lizard looks kind of like the baby from that TV show Dinosaurs on heavy roids, but whatever. The Green Goblin was kind of douchey-looking too.

New ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ trailer has lots of Lizard
The latest trailer for the web-slinger reboot finally shows us how Spidey will face off with the Lizard. Oh, and it’s pissing off nerds. I’ve been pretty vocal about my thoughts on the Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man – basically I think he looks like the baby from that TV show Dinosaurs – but this new trailer does a lot to set him up as a real challenge for Peter Parker. But the thing that has fans freaking out is the changes to his origin, which put Parker’s parents in a more central role somewhat akin to the Ultimate universe. Is it blasphemy to make his Dad a scientist and not whatever the hell he was in the comics? You decide. The Amazing Spider-Man opens July 3rd.

‘Gangster Squad’ trailer reeks of badassdom
Remember when the Mafia meant something besides overweight old guys in Los Angeles? Gangster Squad will remind you. Set in the 1940s, the new movie from Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer tells the story of the Mob trying to set up shop in Los Angeles and the cops tasked with stopping them. This was one of the most exciting and violent periods in the history of organized crime, and the trailer isn’t shying away from mayhem. The flick stars Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn and Josh Brolin, and opens October 19th.

Four minutes of ‘Amazing Spider-Man’
Why not watch four solid minutes of another superhero movie? They’re cool! I think that Marvel would be fine if Amazing Spider-Man made a couple bucks, considering that The Avengers has already made their budget for the next hundred years. But chances are it’s going to do pretty great if these four minutes are any indication. Starting with Peter Parker rescuing a kid from a burning car and not slowing down for anything, this is selling the movie better than any other clip to date. Hell, even the Lizard doesn’t look quite so ridiculous. Opens July 3rd, you know you’ve got your tickets already.

Who’s that guy at the end of ‘Amazing Spider-Man’?
Columbia Pictures
Spoilers ahead, folks. You’ve been warned. So did you see Amazing Spider-Man yet? It’s about as good as a fourth Spider-Man movie can be, and Andrew Garfield is a breakout star, no doubt. And, of course, you stayed after the credits, right? If you leave any superhero movie before the credits, you’re an idiot.
Here comes the spoiler: after Dr. Curt Connors is de-Lizarded and locked up, a shadowy man comes and visits him in the high-security mental hospital he’s imprisoned in. The man says “Hello, Doctor! Did you tell the boy? Did you tell the boy the truth about his father?” and when Connors says he didn’t, the mystery man replies “Well, that’s very good. So we’ll let him be for now.”
The first thought is, of course, that he’s Norman Osborn, the super-powerful industrialist behind Connors’s experiment. Michael Massee, the actor who plays the mystery man, looks somewhat similar to Willem Dafoe, who played the character in the previous movies. But that seems too easy. He also disappears in between flashes of lightning, which leads me to believe it might be someone else.
Rhys Evans denies that it’s Norman Osborn himself in this interview with Ain’t It Cool News, but does say that it is “someone we’re familiar with, who we don’t know is employed by Osborn.” This opens a lot of possible doors, including the out-there speculation that Richard Parker is alive. What do you think?

Blazed Movie Reviews: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’
Columbia Pictures
I can’t smoke pot anymore because my kids are smarter than I am. So I do it at the movies. This week: Sony’s reboot of the Spider-Man franchise with a whole new cast and crew.
I thought the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies were pretty OK. Tobey Maguire kind of creeps me out and the last one was stupid and crazy but, you know, they were pretty good. I can understand why they want new people to do them though because that was like, what, 10 years ago? Everybody’s old and Spider-Man can’t be old. Did you know that the guys who make the comic books thought Spider-Man was getting too old because he was married so they made him make a deal with Satan that took his marriage away? That’s so weird. Okay, so forget everything that happened in the last three movies, even that weird part in the jazz club with the dancing. This isn’t your Dad’s Spider-Man. If your Dad liked Tobey Maguire. Did he?
So the new Spider-Man is a British guy named Andrew Garfield. When I was at Comic-Con last year he came out of the crowd in a janky Spidey costume and gave a little speech about how much Spider-Man meant to him and it was totally corny as Hell but also kind of really cool because of this: Spider-Man is kind of not very ironic. I mean, he makes jokes all the time but he’s also pretty serious because his uncle is dead and stuff. So Garfield getting weepy about Peter Parker was a good way to start, and he’s pretty good in this movie. He’s just the right level of skinny and ungainly and it works pretty well. The action bits where he’s in costume are mostly computer, but they’re so much better than the computer from the older movies. Seriously, go back and watch those sometime. They look so bad!
Instead of a radiation spider it’s a genetic engineering spider this time, and the Big Deal with this new movie is the secret story of Peter Parker’s parents (they were spies or something in the comic) but it’s really not that interesting. The Lizard is the villain and he looks a lot better now then in the first Comic-Con footage, where he looked like the baby from that TV show Dinosaurs. “Not the mama!” That show owned.
It’s weird that the movie that got Marc Webb, the director, hired was (500) Days Of Summer, but it kind of makes sense because the best stuff here is between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, played by Emma Stone who is a blonde now. You know what happened when Lindsay Lohan went from being a redhead to a blonde? You do. But you know a whole movie of Awkward Teen Dating isn’t going to make a billion dollars anytime soon. The thing is though, the action and fights aren’t really – so Spider-Man-y, if that makes sense? It’s just more superhero smashing and swinging without any real personality to it.
Will I see another Spider-Man movie? Probably, I have to see a movie every week. What’s your excuse?
Disclaimer: I took out all the spelling and grammar mistakes but left in everything else.

New ‘Gangster Squad’ trailer brings the noise
One of my most anticipated movies of the year drops a new clip. Gangster Squad brings us back to a time when organized crime was cool, before The Sopranos taught us that the Mafia is just made up of fat dudes in sweatpants. Directed by Zombieland‘s Ruben Fleischer, it takes us back to the late 1940s, when the Mob was trying to take over Los Angeles and the LAPD was doing everything in their power to prevent that from happening. The flick stars Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn and opens September 7th.

‘Gangster Squad’s theater scene getting cut
Warner Bros.
Because nothing can ever remind us of anything ever. In the wake of the Aurora, Colorado tragedy, the movie industry is being forced to make some changes in upcoming films. Gangster Squad is the first to fall. The film, which tells the story of the New York mob trying to muscle into the Los Angeles market, formerly featured a scene where a group of mobsters storm a theater and open up on the audience with machine guns. Even creepier, that scene was in the trailer, which ran in front of The Dark Knight Rises.
The trailer has already been pulled, but now Variety is reporting that the actual scene will be pulled from the final film. That must be tough for a filmmaker to have your baby messed with by forces outside of your control, but there’s definitely a precedent. After the 9/11 attacks, many movies were altered to remove the Twin Towers, including Zoolander and Men In Black II. But how responsible should fiction be for real-world horrors?
Considering that the shooter was identified with the Joker, are acts of violence inspired by movies just a fact of life? Is removing scenes like this going to reduce violence, or just draw attention to the connection? I dunno. I just want to see Gangster Squad the way the director intended.

‘Amazing Spider-Man’ sequel has a director and a star
TriStar Pictures
It’s the same director and star as the last one. Why waste time? Leaving aside the question of whether the Spider-Man franchise even needed a reboot, the Andrew Garfield-starring Amazing Spider-Man was a pretty decent superhero flick. Garfield is way better than Tobey Maguire, Emma Stone is way hotter than Kirsten Dunst, and the Lizard… well, the Lizard kind of sucked, but you can’t have everything. The movie pulled in over three quarters of a billion dollars at the box office, so obviously more will be made. The sequel already had a release date (May 2, 2014) but none of the first movie’s cast or crew had committed to more.
Well, until now. The Hollywood Reporter has the terrifically unsurprising news that star Andrew Garfield will be back as Peter Parker, and Emma Stone is in negotiations to return as Gwen Stacy. Both stars got great buzz for the film, and Garfield had a serious emotional connection to the role, so this is a blockbuster franchise that makes sense for them.
The other question was more complex. Director Marc Webb only pulled in a million bucks for helming the first film – with no points – and was reported to be a little irked that he didn’t get to share in the massive financial windfall that it brought in for Sony. Webb was the obvious choice to direct the second film, and it looked like Marvel and Sony agreed, as they publicly announced he’d signed a contract.
We don’t know much about the plot of the next Spider-Man movie – obviously it’ll have something to do with the mysterious man at the end of the first flick, whoever that may be, and I’d bet that Norman Osborn gets brought back into the mix. And, of course, there’s the Gwen Stacy question. Her death is one of the definitive moments in Spidey’s career, so I can see Emma Stone taking the dirt nap in the next flick. What do you think?

New ‘Gangster Squad’ trailer lets the bullets fly
After reshooting the ending, this damn movie is finally coming out. Gangster Squad has had a pretty difficult path to release – after the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shootings, the studio sent it back for edits to remove a similar scene for fear of offending anybody. The ending also got a redo, for as yet unknown reasons. Judging by this new trailer, though, we’re still in for a gritty and uncompromising take on the Mafia’s move into Los Angeles in the 1940s. Gangster Squad opens January 11, 2013.

Is Jamie Foxx the new ‘Spider-Man’ villain?
Universal Pictures
Not playing himself, obviously. Or Ray Charles. That would just be weird. So it’s a given that Amazing Spider-Man is getting two sequels, but things are going to change in Peter Parker’s universe. Emma Stone, who played Gwen Stacy in the first movie, has only been signed for one more movie, not two. Since her death in the comics was one of the most important moment in Spidey’s life, smart money is on Gwen biting the big one in this next movie. That would lead us to believe that the villain of the sequel would be the Green Goblin, right?
Well, no. Geeks of Doom is reporting that the villain will be Maxwell Dillon, also known as Electro. And that the actor most strongly in consideration for the role is Jamie Foxx. Sure, he’s a white guy in the comics but so was Nick Fury, right?
This would fit in with the post-credits scene from Amazing Spider-Man, in which a shadowy figure appeared to Dr. Curt Connors in his jail cell accompanied by flashes of lightning. I can’t remember ever seeing Jamie Foxx play a villain before, so I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Foxx himself seems to be having fun with the rumors, Tweeting on Halloween:
Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well.
— Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) November 1, 2012
Electro has always been sort of a B-lister, despite his awesome powers, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony still had a trick or two up their sleeve with the Amazing Spider-Man sequel and we might see the Green Goblin after all. Gwen Stacy’s not going to fall off that bridge by herself, you know!

9 best ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosts ever
Saturday Night Live has had a lot of hosts over the years – some have sucked, most have been mediocre, and only a rare few have not only held their own with the cast but actually made the show better with their presence. It is these rare beasts that we have gathered here today to discuss. They are the best of the best, the funniest of the funniest, the ones who actually make us want to watch SNL rather than make us cringe because they can’t read the cue-cards or because the cast has to pretend to respect them even though they spend every other week mercilessly making fun of them (Hi, Paris Hilton!) One rule before we start: I’m not including former cast members because, really, that would be kind of unfair. Sure, Bill Murray is great but he kind of has a built in advantage, you know? So, with all that said, here are the nine best Saturday Night Live hosts of all time.
Photo credit: YouTube/NBC
9 Justin Timberlake
Yeah, I know, I know… I’m as surprised as you are that he’s on here but, well, you can’t argue with reality and the reality, shocking as it is, is that Justin Timberlake is actually really, really good at this whole sketch comedy thing. He’s just a natural. He knows when to go big and when to deadpan, when to take the lead and when to sit back and play off of others. He just gets it. His most famous sketches are, of course, the digital shorts he did with Andy Samberg, especially the “Dick in the Box” sketch, and every time he’s on, there’s always the palpable sense that he could do something that everyone is going to remember for a while. Really though, for as weird as that seems, it makes sense. I mean, this is a dude who literally grew up on The Mickey Mouse Club doing variety show type things (I won’t call it “comedy” because, well, come on.) It’s second nature to him. It’s strange and it feels sort of wrong and yet here we are.
Photo credit: YouTube/Screen Gems
8 Emma Stone
Sure, she’s only hosted twice, but like Timberlake, she just gets it. She knows what she’s doing out there and she enhances just about every sketch she’s in. And she’s only going to get better at it the older she gets. She’s funny, she’s charismatic and oh yeah, she’s a decent actress too. That helps. A little spoiler alert: Emma Stone is the only woman on this list, which honestly says a ton about how lousy SNL has historically been at writing quality comedy for women. This has sort of flipped in recent years though, and Emma Stone is a prime example of that. In a few years there’s a good chance that she’ll be even higher on this list and that a few more women will be on here with her. She may not be the woman who’s hosted that most times (that would be Drew Barrymore and Candice Bergen and really, what do you remember about their shows?) but I’m going out on a limb here and saying that one day she will be.

7 Richard Pryor
The only reason that Richard Pryor is so low on this list is because he only hosted one time, back in the show’s early days. But there was no way I could leave him off the list altogether because that one show helped set the tone for what Saturday Night Live could be at its best. It was provocative, edgy, slightly dangerous and, most of all, funny. His famous “Word Association” sketch with Chevy Chase pushed societal buttons, threw the issue of race relations into the entertainment spotlight and, oh yeah, was really, really funny. It was comedy at its very best and it set a standard for every host who came after him to try (hopelessly in most cases) to live up to.
Photo credit: YouTube/Columbia Pictures
6 John Goodman
John Goodman was so, well, good that he basically became a de facto cast member. During the Monica Lewinsky scandal in the late ‘90s, Goodman made constant appearances on the show as Linda Tripp, becoming an integral part of the show’s current events sketches (which is where SNL has always shined the brightest.) You know you’re a good host when big chunks of the show’s history would not even be possible without your presence. In all, Goodman has hosted the show 12 times, third most ever, which is especially impressive when you consider that he is basically a character actor and not a big star with movies to promote. In short, Goodman gets asked to host because he’s really, really good and they want him on the show, not for publicity or any of the other reasons hosts usually get invited to the world of SNL.

5 Alec Baldwin
Like John Goodman, Alec Baldwin gets asked to host so often because he’s one of the few hosts in Saturday Night Live history who could be a cast member if he wanted. His shows are always good, largely because he actually brings something to the table. The writers don’t have to write around his limitations like they do with most hosts, and he has a genuine rapport with the cast. It’s obvious that they like him there and that translates on the screen. To date, Baldwin has hosted SNL a record 16 times, and whether it’s as Canteen Boy’s perverted scoutmaster or as Pete Schweddy and his Scwheddy balls, Baldwin almost always delivers.
Photo credit: YouTube/NBC
4 Buck Henry
Who? Well, you probably don’t know this but back in the show’s early days, Buck Henry was just as essential to Saturday Night Live as most of the show’s famous cast-members. He was considered part of the family and was a big part of some of the show’s most famous early sketches, from Bill Murray’s father in the “Nerds” sketches to the straight man customer in John Belushi’s “Samurai” sketches (the most famous of which had him getting his head sliced open, forcing him to wear a giant bandage on his head for the rest of the show) to his so edgy it was wrong role as the pervert pedo babysitter in the “Uncle Roy” sketches. He is a big part of the show’s history and even though a lot of people today have probably never heard of him, in the show’s first legendary five year run, Henry hosted a ridiculous total of 10 times and it became tradition for him to host the season finale every year. Believe me, he earned his place on this list.
Photo credit: YouTube/NBC
3 Tom Hanks
It’s always a sign that you’re a good host when you manage to have recurring characters, which Hanks pulled off with his character in the “Girl Watchers” sketches with Jon Lovitz, his character in “The Stand-Ups,” his Eastern European sleaze-ball character Uri, and his “Mr. Short-Term Memory” character. I’m not sure if any other host has that many recurring characters, which is a testament to Hanks’ natural sketch-comedy talent. I think it’s vaguely surprising to people whenever Hanks shows up on SNL and kicks ass because we’ve been conditioned for the last twenty years to see him as a Jimmy Stewart like leading man, but that’s only because people forget that Tom Hanks first made a name for himself by being a funny, funny dude. He’s a naturally talented comedian and people shouldn’t forget that, and if they do, well, all they need to do is check him out any time he shows up and brings down the house on SNL.

2 Christopher Walken
Come on, you knew that Christopher Walken was going to show up sooner or later. After all, he’s almost as famous for his awesome SNL appearances as he is for his more dramatic roles. From the “More Cowbell” sketch that everyone and their grandfather and their grandfather’s brother’s boss’s nephew’s classmate’s cousin’s dog’s babysitter’s uncle’s best friend has referenced and beaten into the ground to his role as Colonel Angus (say it out loud in a Southern accent) to his famous recurring character in “The Continental,” Walken’s SNL appearances have become a central part in the almost cult-like adoration of the man that has sprung up over the last decade or so. Every time he hosts, people get excited, and with good reason. He’s always bizarrely funny and his shows all have a weird sort of energy to them that nobody else can duplicate. They, like him, are one of a kind.
Photo credit: YouTube/RKO Pictures
1 Steve Martin
Steve Martin is such a good host that most people are surprised when they find out he was never actually a cast member. He’s almost always included when people talk about Saturday Night Live’s early legendary cast, his name tossed out there alongside Bill Murray, Dank Aykroyd, John Belushi and Chevy Chase. But it’s true, he never was a member of the cast. His “Two Wild and Crazy Guys” sketches with Aykroyd remain one of the most famous recurring sketches from that era and whenever he’s on, he always brings the air of someone who knows what they’re doing. He’s basically the alpha-dog of all SNL hosts. All you have to do is watch the famous “Five-Timers” sketch if you don’t believe me. He’s the host that has set the standard for all Saturday Night Live hosts, he’s been a vital part of the family for almost forty years, and that is why nobody else could possibly be number one on this list.

Big long ‘Gangster Squad’ trailer is here
1940s Los Angeles vs. the East Coast mafia. A battle for the ages. Gangster Squad opens today, and if you haven’t heard enough about it, here’s one last trailer. It’s a tale as old as time – the fertile fields of L.A. beckon the criminal underground and the outgunned police department needs to figure out a way to deal with it. Sean Penn plays legendary gangster Mickey Cohen, who currently rules the town’s underworld, and Nick Nolte as the chief of police puts together a squad of cops to take care of the organized crime problem once and for all. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a truly great gangster movie, so hopefully Gangster Squad will fit the bill.

How the F did ‘Movie 43′ get all these actors?
Here’s an actual answer to that question, in the form of a video. You’ve probably seen the commercials for Movie 43, the foul-mouthed sketch comedy that has an absolutely insane cast of actors who typically wouldn’t do a movie like this – Emma Stone! Uma Thurman! Kate Winslet! Halle Berry! – and wondered how the filmmaker got them all to sign on. Well, here’s a new featurette that basically plays “Six Degrees Of Separation” and connects the cast together. It’s kind of amazing. I’m still not 100% sold on whether the movie itself is going to be any good, but I guess we’ll find out when Movie 43 opens on January 25th.
