Quick, name something that all films based on Marvel comics have in common. No, it’s not the shameless scenes that appear after the credits to give hope for a sequel, but Stan Lee, a legendary figure in the industry that helped bring such characters to life alongside other professionals such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, back in the legendary …

Remember, all those Avengers character posters that Marvel have been unveiling this week? Well, in a flash of blatant obviousness, it turns out that they all join together to form one giant super poster. So sort of like Captain Planet, except with no useless Brazilian kid, with the power of “Hippie”. What it does have in abundance though, is really …

There’s nothing like a good pop culture debate…. Harnessing your extensive, never useless, geek knowledge and channeling it into a devastating argument.  Our sister gaming site Lazygamer has the Flamebait Friday Debate. Here at The Movies, starting from today, we have the movie-themed (duh!) Midweek Mouth-off. Your first topic up for discussion: What’s the biggest film of 2012? Of course …

Right, we’re a week into 2012 and it’s time to look ahead at the notable new releases of the next 6 months. Please bear in mind that release dates are subject to change, and the list includes a handful of flicks that have already opened overseas but have yet to reach South Africa.

We have some new gameplay videos of Capcom’s next crossover title, Marvel vs Capcom 3. It is, not to mince about with words, absolutely friggin’ insane. much like its predecessor it requires superhuman feats of sight and dexterity just to make out what’s happening on-screen. thankfully for those of us not injecting speed directly in to our brains, it’s still …
