Who We Are: Josh

Hello, my name is Josh. In between eating and sleeping, two quite important activities in my life, I like to watch the occasional film. After watching a film I have been known to enjoy sounding off about them and this website is a great forum to do just that. On the occasion I do leave the screen I enjoy socialising with friends, preferably over a alcoholic beverage as well as indulging my rather large appetite. A great film should have engaging characters, a well written script and a griping plot but anything with Jennifer Aniston in will do.

Who We Are: Dom

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Dom. Nothing really qualifies me to write about films other than quite liking them. Other things I like are Tabasco sauce, chino trousers, Radiohead and Star Wars. What I value highest in a film is dialogue, strong central performances and an engaging storyline. But the well-implemented zombie, dinosaur, robot or alien is good too. Film nerds are generally a friendly bunch, so feel free to comment on anything I write, telling me what you think, I won't get offended and I'll always respond eventually. But if you insult Blade Runner, I will hunt you down and murder you like a Replicant.  Anyway, hope you enjoy the site.

Spider-Man Reboot Gets 'Amazing' New Name

Filming has begun, and now the Spider-Man reboot has a name. Columbia Pictures announced that it will share the name of the original comic developed by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko back in 1963, The Amazing Spider-Man. The similarities with the original source material won't stop at the name either. Unlike Sam Raimi's recent trilogy, the new film will centre more around Peter Parker's days at high school, balancing his classes in the day with fighting crime at night. Spidey's love interest will not be Mary-Jane Watson, but instead Gwen Stacey, his original girlfriend from the comics. And as clearly shown in the latest picture of provided by the studio (pictures after the jump), the suit will feature mechanical web shooters rather than the biological ones that Tobey Maguire's character possessed. This marks another return to Stan Lee's original creation and perhaps outlines a larger focus on Parker's scientific prowess that was missing from Raimi's films.
