Amazing New Costume For The Amazing Spiderman 2

The sequel to the Spiderman reboot, The Amazing Spiderman 2 will not be in theatre until next year. However, the director, Marc Webb has successfully created a buzz among the fans by releasing a costume teaser of how would upcoming Spiderman looks like.

The latest Spiderman costume is relatively different from the earlier one, be it the colour or the texture. One of the most noticeable difference is actually on the eye. The new costume carries a bigger and white eye (as oppose to the smaller and black eye in the earlier version).

Many fans are giving rave and positive comment on the new costume and cited that it is closer to the costume in the original comic series. What do you think? Do you like the new costume better or the old man? (I have included the poster of existing costume in The Amazing Spiderman as well for easier comparison)

By the way, The Amazing Spiderman 2 will be released in US on 2rd May 2014. I am looking forward to it especially seeing how Jamie Foxx reprise the role of Electro (the villain).

Monsters University - New Trailer and Poster

After 12 years, the much anticipated prequel to the 2001 hit animation, Monsters Inc is finally here, almost! The good news is both John Goodman and Billy Crystal are returned to reprise their respective role of Sully and Mike. 

I enjoyed the Monsters Inc. a lot and hope the this long overdue prequel managed to bring back the fond memory of the time times! Monsters University will be released in 3D on 21st June 2013. 

Brief synopsis of Monsters University (source imdb.com):

"A look at the relationship between Mike and Sulley during their days at the University of Fear - when they weren't necessarily the best of friends."

Meanwhile, Disney has released a new international poster and the full-length international trailer.

Enjoy!

SPECIAL NOTE : WOW! What a surprise comeback for the sleeper hit, Identity Thief (Comedy by Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy)! It returns to the top spot for the second time. As for the previous week's top movie, A Good Day To Die Hard dropped to the fifth place with less than convincing word of mouth/critics.  

The other new release, Dark Skies (an horror/sci-fi movie by Keri Russell and Jake Brennan) managed to claim the 6th place with $8.19 millions.

The Oscars 2013 Winners And How I Did With My Prediction

The Oscars 2013 Winners have just been announced a couple of hours ago. Are you surprise with the results? Being a Chinese myself (even though I am not from Taiwan), the most touching moment is when the Best Director Winner, Lee Ang, is being announced. He thanks practically everyone involved in the film, especially those from Taiwan. And oh, he thanks "Movie God" too! ;-) 

Life Of Pi is his masterpiece with great visual awesomeness and high spiritual value.

Now, let's see how I do with my predictions done about one month ago....(my predictions are highlighted in yellow).

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2013/02/17)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 17th February 2013 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : As expected A Good Day To Die Hard (the fifth installments of the Die Hard franchise) shoot up to the top spot but not without a tight fight with Identify Thief. Even though A Good Day To Die Hard tops the chart but the sales is not much higher than the early estimate. The other 2 smaller releases, Safe Haven and Escape From The Planet Earth (3D) doing relatively well at third and forth places. 

Beautiful Creature flopped at 6th place with merely $7.58 millions. Hope that the international market is able to boost the sales for the movie.

Why Is Die Hard So Hard To Die? [Infographic]

Bruce Willis' 5th installment of Die Hard franchise, A Good Day To Die Hard [IMAX] was released internationally last week and it tops the weekend Box Office Chart in US (expectedly). The question is: Why is Die Hard or specifically Bruce Willis can continue to entertain the audience (especially US audience) throughout the 25 years span (the first Die Hard movie was released in 1988). In short, why is Die Hard so hard to die? 

All your doubts could be answered by a beautiful Infographic (Five Reasons Why Americans Love Die Hard) designed by Ruby Media Corporation. Even though the Infographic is designed more for US audience but most of the points are applicable to non-US audience too (I believed)!

Are you a Die Hard fan? Have you watch him Yippee Ki-yay again? In any case, before heading to the Infographic, you may want to recap the past 4 installments of Die Hard by clicking on the image(s) below:
