25 Things About Superman You Didn't Know

Virgin Movies put this infographic together prior to the release of Man of Steel, and I thought I would share it.  And there are several things I didn't know.  Like Gene Hackman refusing to cut his hair and Marlon Brando refusing to learn his lines.  Pretty cool stuff.  Check it out.

Movies To Watch: Man of Steel (Trailer #3)

75 years ago today, Superman was introduced to America and the world.  And in less than two months his journey continues with the upcoming movie, Man of Steel.  The new trailer was released two days ago, and people are raving about it.  So I thought it was only fitting to post it on the anniversary of the first issue from DC Comics.  Enjoy - it's a definite "must watch!"

Movies to Watch - The Amazing Spider-Man

It was released last week, but in the event you haven't seen it, you can see it here.  The official trailer to The Amazing Spider-man which hits theaters on July 3, 2012.

It's a re-boot, yes, but it also takes us on a different path...  Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy, and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors, his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Will we be watching?  Ryan and I say, yes.  Even though I'm not a fan of all these superhero re-boots, I am looking forward to seeing this and The Man of Steel.  I'm sure Andrew Garfield and Henry Cavill has something to do with it. :-)

The Gods of Immortals

I posted it as a "Movies To Watch" here and here.  How many of you will go see Immortals?  I, for one, am excited.  

The movie premieres on 11/11/11, 3 days before my birthday and I figured I could go watch it with my husband and friends.  I Can't wait!  I mean, with bodies like these two, who wouldn't want to?  Watch the trailer here.

Henry Cavill as Theseus

DC Showcases New Superman...

...and boy is he Super! I'm totally digging his new costume; I think Zack Snyder should re-think his costume idea, and add a red belt like in this comic. 

I know I questioned the red underpants being gone in the new movie, Man of Steel, but if they added a red belt it would be perfect!

No One Believed Me, But It's True! Superman No Longer Is...

...wearing red underpants!  

I mentioned it several weeks ago, and I still feel the same way!  This is a blasphemy!  There is no need to change our superheros' outfits!  

Okay, so they did it with Batman, but that's Batman, and frankly I could care less with what happens with Batman - this is SUPERMAN for god's sake! SUPERMAN!

As you can see in the leaked photos of the new movie, Man of Steel, the Krypton God is not wearing his red underwear, which confirms my terrifying rumor was true.  It truly is a sad day for the country and the world.  Putting that aside, the villainess in the photo looks pretty darn cool, she is the one donning the black cape.

Henry Cavill Teases Us With His New Superman Outfit

I am really starting to miss Brandon Routh, my one and only Superman!  He was gorgeous, luscious, and oh, so tall and muscular.  Henry Cavill is hot, but I'm not sure the fish-scaled outfit he's wearing or if making Superman without red underpants was a good idea.

I don't know... the hair, everything about it, smells fishy to me.  And you all know how much flak we gave the new Wonder Woman outfit.  It never made it to the small screen.

Of course, the new Superman movie will hit the big screen, because too much money has been invested already, and the movie is almost done filming.  What do you think?  Do you like it so far?

Movies to Watch: Immortals - The Latest Trailer

What's hotter than watching hot men with barely any clothes on fighting against each other? Nothing! LOL.   

Tarsem Singh's movie, Immortals has all the fantasies women often desire, the warriors men wish they could be, and the erotica to make every gay boy's dream come true.

Watch the latest trailer here:

Movies to Watch: Immortals - First Trailer Released!

It was released last week, and I keep forgetting to blog about it.  The trailer to the movie, Immortals is beyond spectacular!  Definitely more than what I anticipated it would be.  Our new Superman, Henry Cavill is playing Theseus in the movie, and boy does he shine.

If you remember, last month I blogged the actor's pictures and what characters they would be playing, click here to read the synopsis and who else will be in the movie.  The movie is being produced by Tarsem Singh, the same producer who introduced us to the movie, 300.

This movie is going to be a whole lot better than 300, I can tell you that right now.  Check out the trailer below.

Movies to Watch: Immortals

 

There are three genres I like most, United States History with emphasis on the Civil War, Greek Mythology with emphasis on Hercules and Poseidon, and Science Fiction with emphasis on Star Trek Captains, Kirk and Janeway.

Coming on the 11th day, of the 11th month, in the 11th year of the millenium, The Gods Need A Hero and it's in the form of the IMMORTALS.

And the storyline?

Years after the Titanomachy, the Titan Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) declares war on humanity. He searches for the Epirus Bow, a legendary weapon created by the war god Ares, which will allow him to free the rest of the Titans from Tartarus and take revenge on the Olympians who brought about their downfall. In accordance with ancient laws, the gods are unable to take a side in the war between Hyperion and humanity. It is left to a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill), chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans) and accompanied by the priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and a slave (Stephen Dorff), to protect his homeland and save the gods.

A trailer hasn't been released,  but the images down below will give you an insight into what you can expect from the creator (Tarsem Singh ) of 300 and The Cell.  He will be creating a masterpiece and I'm really excited about it.

 

The movie is going to be chock-full of gorgeous guys, with equally gorgeous bodies.  So many, I can't even post all of them at this time.  I will use these images and comments courtesy of blogger, Tyrell who put these together.

First up, the picture at the top of the page is Daniel Sharman who plays Ares in the upcoming flick. In Greek Mythology, he is son of Zeus and lover of Aphrodite (playa playa). I think that him and Luke look very similar proving the apple clearly doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Or in Greek terms, thank Zeus lightning struck twice.

Meet Luke Evans who will be taking on the heavy duty role of Zeus. No big deal, just playing Greek mythology’s “Big Man Upstairs”. I wonder how big his lightning rod is? Luke also played Apollo in Clash of the Titans. This man loves to be a god.

I couldn’t let this gorgeous gal’s movie poster go to waste. This is Isabel Lucas who plays Athena, goddess of of civilization and warfare among other things as well as Zeus’ daughter and brother to Ares. She’s a big player of power in this film so watch out.

We are all very familiar with this hunk of a man, Superman's Henry Cavill. He takes on the role of the peasant, Theasus, who will soon become an Athenian hero. With a body like that, he can be my hero any day (or time period).

And finally, Kellan Lutz who will be taking on the role of Poseidon. Doesn’t he put the motion in your ocean?

Who's Who on Superman: Man of Steele?

We already know who will be playing Superman (Henry Cavill), but who will be playing his worldly parents?

Zack Snyder, the director of Superman: Man of Steele, along with Warner Brothers announced yesterday, that Diane Lane (Unfaithful, Secretariat) would be playing Martha Kent, "the only mother Clark Kent has ever known," and “This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.”

The Hollywood Reporter also writes that Kevin Costner is a "person of interest" for the role of Superman's father, Jonathan Kent.

Other well-known actors possibly joining the cast are Viggo Mortensen as General Zod and Lindsay Lohan as Ursa, but we all know what kinda mess Lindsay is in.  And besides, a rumor is just that, a rumor.  Until Warner Bros. or Zack Snyder come out and say who's playing who, I'll leave it at that.
 

Superman Returns! Wait... it's a reboot.

Take a look at your new Superman!  Warner Bros. made an announcement over the weekend on who would be the next man to don the blue tights and the red cape, and it's Tudors star, Henry Cavill.

"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield," said the film's director, Zack Snyder.
