"Five years ago, "Superman" (Brandon Routh) left Earth to find the remains of his home planet, "Krypton". He returns to his adopted home, which has changed. The first change is that his archenemy, the evil genius "Lex Luthor" (Kevin Spacey). The other, which has truely affected "The Man of Steel", is that the love of his life, "Lois Lane" (Kate Bosworth) is now a mother, and about to marry her boyfriend, "Richard" (James Marshden), the handsome nephew of "Daily Planet" Editor-in-Chief "Perry White" (Frank Langella). However, one thing hasn't changed. "Luthor" is up to his old tricks, as he has a plan that will use "Kryptonian" technology which will kill billions of people. And to make things worse, he may have a way to destroy "Superman" once and for all. The first thing you can't help but notice is the amazing special effects. The CGI is real good, and really enhances the action in the scenes. However, the animation itself is not perfect, as it is pretty easy to tell when computer ... "

"Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million). A fourth film would normally see an even bigger drop in box office receipts, but next week’s Fast & Furious has a good chance of actually being the highest-grossing film in the series yet, due to the return of original cast members Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster and, most im "

"We at SpoutBlog love Jon Hamm tremendously, but we don’t get to write about him much because we’re primarily a film blog and don’t feature much discussion of either Mad Men or 30 Rock (we’ve slipped praise into posts here and there, of course). Fortunately for us, Hamm has made a new video for FunnyorDie.com, in which he references movies. Specifically, he portrays Lex Luthor and alludes to plot points from Superman: The Movie, Superman Returns and even

"We’re less than a week away from the release of Tropic Thunder, and as the reviews and puff pieces make their way onto the web, there’s one thing clearly uniting the media’s coverage: talk of Tom Cruise’s appearance in a small role as a Hollywood studio boss. Everyone seems to agree that he steals the show and that his performance — or the joke surrounding it — is one of the comedy’s major highlights, if not the actual best part. Of course, we can expect a good cameo from Cruise every now and then. He showed up for a bit part in Young Guns and played himself as playing “Austin Powers” in Austin Powers in Goldmember. But from what it sounds like, his role in Tropic Thunder is featured for longer than might qualify as a cameo. Some are regardless referring to the performance as an “extended cameo”, and in theory it certainly fits in with the huge crop of so-called “ironic cameos” that have become popular in movies and TV in the last ten years. Still, despite my not having yet seen th ... "

"The Dark Knight, the most anticipated picture of the year for myself and innumerable others, has finally arrived following a trail of hype that would crush almost any film. But miraculously, just as Moses wielded his stone tablets, Christopher Nolan has handed us a true gift from the cinematic gods. His second Batman is so visceral, so propulsive, so maddeningly perfect in its execution that it should come with a warning; you do not simply watch The Dark Knight, you surrender your pulse to Christopher Nolan. And even if an intended triptych has been tragically cut short (as Mel Brooks might contend those aforementioned commandments were) what remains is wholly qualified to stand on its own not as a great Batman film, not as a great superhero film, and not as a great action film, but as one of the most distiguished pieces of filmmaking of its generation. This decade, more so than any other, has seen comic-to-film adaptations mature from vacuous thrills to serious art. Sam Raimi ... "

""Superman Returns" has the unenviable tasks of beginning the franchise anew while adhering to most of the continuity from "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman II" and forming a worthwhile story and movie for itself. In all those respects, Bryan Singer´s vision of the Man of Steel is a rousing success. The story, pared down to its basic elements, revolves around Superman returning to Earth after a five-year absence. Following, more or less, the events of the second Christopher Reeve film, he took off for what astronomers thought could be a remnant of Krypton. His former flame, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) has given birth to a young son and is engaged. Coupled with that heartbreak, his arch enemy Lex Luthor (a magnificent Kevin Spacey) has stolen crystals from the Fortress of Solitude in an attempt to flood the world. Singer and his co-writers ("X2:X-Men United" scribes Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris) decided to craft a sequel of sorts to "Superman II," the infamous film half ... "

"Director: Bryan Singer Writer(s): Michael Dougherty & Dan Harris Starring: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, & Kevin Spacey Synopsis: After being absent from Earth for many years to learn more about his origins, Superman arrives to Metropolis, intent to return to his job at the Daily Planet and a normal life. Upon realizing the world still needs him, he suits up and saves the world from Lex Luthor’s latest scheme. Review: I have to admit that I haven’t seen any of the previous superman films, but I can say that I was moderately impressed with this one. The story was typical superhero stuff, and all of superman’s powers were on display and more or less showcased well. Special effects weren’t overdone in my opinion. The action sequences were executed well and added to the story, but what downgraded the film for me was some of the performances. Brandon Routh was a little boyish and nerdy to be the ideal Superman and just didn’t convince me. I think th ... "

"Is this a sequel or a remake? Bryan Singer has said the film is intended to a sequel to the Richard Lester version of Superman II. So why does he spend the entire movie rehashing material from the previous films? And why is the movie so ugly? I love the original Superman. Richard Donner brillantly recast the Superman ledgend (he's my favorite superhero) as modern myth. I also thought that Christopher Reeve was absoltley perfect in his part and could hold his own a big name cast that included Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman and Terrence Stamp. Although I didn't like Lester's interpretation of the Superman mythos, I at least gave him credit for having some kind of original idea. It seems that Singer has tried to recapture the magic of the first film by slavishly immating it. He plays the notes, but not the music. Singer even tells his actors to base their characters on the actors from the original. But Bryan Singer is no Richard Donner, Kevin Spacey is no Gene Hackman and Brandon ... "

"What's the easiest way to lose your inhibitions when filming a sex scene that millions of people will see? Copious amounts of booze, of course! That's the route Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgess went while filming their steamy tryst in the Las Vegas drama '21.' In fact, the two got so thirsty, Bosworth says she blacked out and can't even remember filming the fling, PEOPLE reports ."We were both so drunk," the 25-year-old 'Superman Returns ' starlet said, saying she and Sturgess decided "to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it."Sturgess has similar alcohol amnesia."It was brilliant for about half an hour. As we continued to drink ... it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn't stand up at one point," he said.Source: People.com "

"Superman ReturnsI never intended to watch this movie. I was never much of a fan of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. Always thought they were stuck between being sincere and corny. Should have pushed the corn 100% like Adam West with Batman in my opinion.I do remember liking that Lois and Clark show though. Maybe because my mom always watched it.Anyways, my roommate rented this from Netflix and I was bored. I think I may have watched this with Adam as well. I think all three of us saw it together. It's hard to remember. The event was less than spectacular.It felt like there was absolutely nothing new here. And even the best of the old stuff was missing. The whole story of Superman and how he came to be. I've seen all that in every Superman production so far. And he hardly ever even uses his different powers in exciting ways. The lead actor seemed like he was just trying to safely emulate Christopher Reeve. Since I never liked his portrayal in the first pl ... "
