    I liked Frankenstein, in spite if the fact, it seemed like a bit of a vanity project at times. "let me hit the gym for 6 months the oil up and go shirtless with my long flowing locks". Come on Ken, really? Hollywood get to you?

    The Amazing Spider-Man's Asian takings point to box-office smash

    Industry experts predict huge worldwide revenues after film tops debut showing by The Avengers in Korea and India

    guardian.co.uk
    Marc Webb's series reboot beat figures obtained by 2012's most profitable film so far, The Avengers, in Korea and India, and also posted huge revenues in Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore, according to Deadline.com. The film, which stars Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man with Emma Stone as his love interest Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as villain the Lizard, is due to open in the UK and US on 3 July.
    The Amazing Spider-Man has been something of a controversial release for Sony, arriving as it does only five years after Spider-Man 3, the final instalment in the previous series of Spider-Man films by Sam Raimi, and only a decade after the character's last origins story, 2002's Spider-Man. The $50.2m it has so far taken in 13 Asian markets will give a considerable boost to the studio, which has also seen the film benefit from strong reviews.
    Hollywood's "tracking" system, which estimates box-office figures based on polls of which films cinemagoers are most looking forward to watching, also suggests The Amazing Spider-Man is on course for a strong US debut. The Hollywood Reporter estimates an opening of at least $125m, second only to The Avengers's $217m in 2012. Joss Whedon's superhero epic has so far pulled in more than $1.447bn worldwide and stands as the third highest-grossing film of all time behind Titanic and Avatar.
    The previous Spider-Man films grossed $821.7m (Spider-Man), $783.8m (Spider-Man 2) and $890.9m (Spider-Man 3) respectively.

    I love Oz, but this trailer does nothing for me. It looks like a SyFy movie of the week offering (and that's not a compliment). I hated the look of Burton's Alice and advertising that many of the same folks responsible for that film are working on this one, is not a selling point (IMO).

    To date, my favorite Oz screen adaptation is Return to Oz. While the movie's special effects feel a tad dated by today's standards, The Return to Oz crew did a fantastic job of incorporating John R. Neill illustrations into the film's character designs.

    I'll probably see this, because let's face it, Oz films don't get the big screen treatment very often, but oh how I wish someone else was making it.

    I've actually seen Farrell do some good work in smaller films - In Bruges and Tigerland, just to name two off the top of my head. It just seems like Hollywood is incapable of turning him into a major star. They've been trying for about ten years now, and nothing sticks.

    I'm still a little salty about his comments back when daredevil was being made. He said something about bullseye being a comic character so all he had to do was show up and growl. And looking at the movie...that's pretty much all he did.

    For some reason, I remember liking him as Bullseye. I thought he played him with a decent amount of playful insanity.

    Then again, I did see it years ago...

    The performances were the tiniest factor in the lousiness of this film.

    The real problem was one of the worst scripts I've ever seen filmed.

    I remember him having the same attitude that Tommy Lee Jones had when he played Two-Face, which was basically to overact and then collect your paycheck at the end.

    "It's the most beloved Christmas story of all time..."

    ... so 30 years later, we decided to urinate on its memory with this straight to DVD abomination, a blatant last attempt to milk this cash-cow as much as we can and at the same time rape your warm and nostalgic memories of the original.
