The UneXplained — The Reincarnation of a 1930′s Hollywood Actor

posted 04-28-11 by Max Tedaldi

I’m not one to take too much stock in religion and spirituality, let alone the metaphysical and the afterlife.

The Dark Knight Rises Fans of Joseph Gordon-Levitt who have been holding out for the announcement that he would be playing the questionable Edward Nigma, aka The Riddler, can sadly exhale.

Mary Jane, Wonder Woman, Luke Cage and . . . Tom Hanks?!

posted 10-04-10 by Max Tedaldi

Mary Jane Watson Cast in Spider-Man Reboot What did you think about Kirsten Dunst playing everyone’s favorite neighborhood redhead in the first three Spider-Man films? Apart from some sexy upside down smooching, I found Dunst’s portrayal to be completely detached from the the character’s comic book personality. Throughout the first three films Dunst’s Mary Jane [...]
