Many people think The Amazing Spider-Man was completely unnecessary since it came so quickly after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, and didn’t do a lot to expand on his origin. It’s a valid point, but Marc Webb really nailed the character with his adaptation. Raimi’s Spider-Man movies were great movies, but they never really felt like
Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. It’s undeniable. Their music transcends time and is adored by generations of fans young and old. Many would attribute their success to guitarist and producer Jimmy Page, who’s written some of the most memorable guitar riffs of all time. Stairway to Heaven is
If you’re not Generation Y, then you wouldn’t even begin to understand how Image literally ran the comic book game from its inception in 1992 to about 1996 when the company partially broke-up. In the early 90s, Todd McFarlane and a few other Marvel illustrators were fed up with the business practices of Marvel Comics
Before he was an actor, Steve Buscemi was a firefighter in New York. Yeah, that Steve Buscemi. Can you imagine Mr. Pink carrying you out of a burning building? Me neither. Funny, since every character he’s portrayed on film has been completely believable. If he ever played a firefighter in a movie it’d make it
If you didn’t read Calvin and Hobbes as a child then you probably suffer from a multitude of psychological disorders ranging from depression to schizophrenia. Growing up without the influence of Spaceman Spiff can be a detriment to the development of one’s cognitive abilities. It’s not proven, but we here at MiddleEasy like to believe
With Marvel Studios ramping up for Comic-Con by unveiling new posters for both “Thor: The Dark World” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” I’m finding it hard to not to focus on what both films eventually lead to —“The Avengers 2.” Apparently fans aren’t the only one’s salivating for the upcoming super movie, because with
The pairing of the words “Japanese” and “remake” is nothing all that new. For years we’ve been lifting plot points, settings and entire scripts from Japan, and rebranding them as American. We remade Infernal Affairs into The Departed. We took The Seven Samurai and made it The Magnificent Seven. We turned Battle Royale into the
Paul Heyman was a man I loved as a child, watching wrestling growing up. He just had such a commanding presence. Even if he wasn’t the center of attention, he demanded your eyeballs be glued to the TV screen. So when he returned to the WWE, I couldn’t have been happier. When he united with
Every time I see prank videos I always wonder about the victims that didn’t give their consent to be shown on film. While the reactions we see are spectacular, the guys that refuse to sign the paper of consent are the ones that you truly want to see. Let’s face it, if you soiled your
The lineup for the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match was, well, a bit lackluster, to say the least. It involves some solid wrestlers and all, but it really felt like a minor league ordeal compared to the WWE Championship one, which goes down later tonight. There weren’t that many guys who are
WWE’s yearly PPV event that is built around a former Wrestlemania match that was used to pit guys with no interesting feuds against each other is this weekend. Crazy, right? If you are like me you still follow wrestling but your DVR gets jammed up once in a while with a few weeks of WWE
Let’s just get this out of the way. Yes, the last few Predator movies have been pretty lame. Robert Rodriguez’s Predators seemed like it had a chance of being on par with with Predator and Predator 2, but after months building many movie fans expectations, it fell incredibly short. It’s likely that nothing will ever
Alright so Man of Steel did pretty well at the box office. So well in fact that they decided to rush production on a sequel for it. If you’ve been keeping up then you’ve no doubt heard that the idea trajectory of the films is for there to be Man of Steel, then another Superman
August is almost here and that means one thing. No, not Jose Aldo fighting again. No, not four solid UFC events with stacked cards. It means Breaking Bad. That’s right, we are only a few short weeks away from witnessing the finale to one of the greatest stories that has ever been told on Sunday
Man, what can I say about Sharknado that hasn’t already been said about the Thomas Jayne version of The Punisher? It had a lot of hype, there was some internet buzz going strong behind it, but as far as ratings go it was a total dud, but that doesn’t keep it from being a guilty
The irony of the virality of this video is not lost upon me, as it emanates from my home state of Rhode Island, which I have not visited in a number of years now thanks to the cost of plane tickets and how I don’t want to pay money to stay in a RI hotel
