We will probably never get to see Ryan Gosling or Steve Carell in any superhero movies, but the reason for it may be the fact that they already had that experience.
Before both found projects that eventually skyrocketed their careers and set specific directions for their acting paths, both actors appeared together in a short superhero film — and their opposition is everything we need.
If someone ever thought that 1999’s Unbelievables was an early Marvel-ish attempt, such a view needs to be immediately debunked — the film, directed by Ed Solomon who had released Man in Black before in 1997, is more about a suburban version of a superhero team that pretends to fight with the evil forces while nobody really asked for it.

Who is Taylor Armstrong? The name may sound vaguely familiar to you, but why? If you are a fan of the Real Housewives franchise, you remember her from her days on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is an Og who prominently featured her life on the show’s first three seasons when it began airing. If you really go back and try to remember, you’ll remember her life was not one many envied. The other wife accused her husband of abusing her both physically and verbally prior to his suicide. Her life was not easy, so she chose to

Let’s talk remakes again. Our series continues as we look at a remake which is just as good--and maybe better--than the original. Cinelinx goes ape this week as we look at the 1998 remake of Mighty Joe Young.
As cinematic simians go, Joe Young is not as well remembered as King Kong or Caesar from the Planet of the Apes films, but the original 1948 film has enough of a cult following to rate a remake, which came out exactly 50 years later.
The 1948 version of Mighty Joe Young was made by some of the same people as the classic King Kong (1933) was. It had the same writer (Ruth Rose), one of the same lead actors (Robert Armstrong) and the guy who did the Kong SFX (Willis O’Brien.) Fun Fact: O’Brien trained FX legend Ray Harryhausen, who also worked on this film as Willis’ First Tech. But I digress. The...

Looking for good books about the movies to read? We've got a bumper selection of recommendations right here...
A confession. I actually started writing this article in 2013, and the reason you've only reading it now is that I've made sure I've read every book on this list, save for one or two where I've marked otherwise. As such, what you're getting is a very personal list of recommendations. Each of these books has at least something to it that I think is of interest to someone wanting to learn more about film - or just enjoy stories of movie making.
I've tended to avoid picture books, with one exception, as these ones I've chosen are all intended to be chock-full of words, to relax with at the end of a long day. Which is what I did. There are one or two notable omissions, as I'm still...

Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong have reportedly had new half-hour pilot Bad Sugar commissioned by Channel 4. The Peep Show and Fresh Meat creators have written a spoof of Dynasty-style shows starring Olivia Colman, Julia Davis and Sharon Horgan, who also worked on the idea, Chortle reports. Bain and Armstrong quipped: "We've always wanted to write a show with poisonings, death threats, extreme psychological pain and big hair. "With the help of the amazing cast we're hoping it might be what everyone in UK television has been waiting so long for - [1976 documentary] Grey Gardens, the sitcom." Commissioning editor Nerys Evans added: 'We're (more)...
