It took Spider-Man 40 years to make his movie debut, but this fast-paced entertainment is a surprisingly successful mix of spectacle and human-scale drama. Orphaned high-school senior Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) lives in Queens with his elderly aunt (Rosemary Harris) and uncle (Cliff Robertson), and nurses a hopeless crush on the girl-next-door (Kirsten Dunst). Then comes the moment that changes everything: Peter is bitten by a genetically rejiggered super spider and undergoes a painful but exhilarating physical transformation.

  • Sam Raimi Finds His Star Wizards | Today's News: Our Take | 5/21/2008
    Sam Raimi, the mastermind behind the Spider-Man trilogy, has found the leads for his upcoming weekly fantasy series, Wizard's First Rule. Relative newcomers Craig Horner and Bridget Regan will star in the series, which is based on the eponymous book by Terry Goodkind, says the Reporter. Horner, who hails from Australia, will play Richard Cypher, a man who becomes a magical leader. Cypher joins the mysterious Kahlan (played by Regan) to try to put the kibosh on a tyrannical leader's who ostensibly ruining everyone's lives. Production on the show starts this month in New Zealand, of course — the only country fit for magic and wizards. Could this new series match the action of Spider-Man? Only time (and some awesome special effects) will tell how Raimi's imagination translates to the small screen. — Anna DimondCatch more of Sam Raimi's magic with our Online Video Guide.Related:• Sam Raimi Drags Three More to Hell• Sam Raimi Scares Up 13 for the CW read more
  • Marvel-ous News for My Sons (And Maybe Yours, Too) | Today's News: Our Take | 5/7/2008
    OK, so my twin 5-year-olds these days are mad for Super Hero Squad action figures — these 2- 3-inch tall, shiny-happy versions of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and, as more and more roll out/beckon Dad's wallet, seemingly every good or bad guy to ever inhabit the Marvel universe. Well, Marvel Entertainment is now developing a 26-episode animated series situating the same extra-cartoony characters in "Super Hero City" and throwing them into "humorous adventures" with Doctor Doom, Magneto, Loki and others.According to the Reporter, the half-hour Marvel Super Hero Squad series is targeted for a 2009 premiere on a network TBD. — MWM read more
  • The Joy of Sets: May the Force Be with Family Guy! | DVD News and Reviews | 1/17/2008
    I feel like I should be ashamed to admit this, but I freakin' love Family Guy. Oh. My. God. What is wrong with those people?! They get away with more jaw-on-the-floor "did they really just say that?" shizz than any cartoon and every live-action network series that I can recall, and yet, every time — every time, people! — I'm stunned. While not laughing me arse off, of course.My theory is that Guy flies, much like the Millennium Falcon, under the radar. Fox doesn't promote it too much, it never became huge-huge-huge and nobody in the cast has gone to rehab for press purposes. Hence, the freedom to have a walker-bound septuagenarian pedophile, a greased-up naked deaf guy and a veritable parade of equal-opportunity slurs against every special interest group known to man, woman and Wookiee. It universally flips the bird to Standards and Practices!Which is why I greet this week's "Blue Harvest" release with such glee. Not only is it a smashing production, but I am perilously... read more

Living legend Stevie Wonder is going to tour the U.S. for the first time in decades starting Aug. 23.
