Recognize this guy?


No?
Look again.

Still no?
You don't have any clue?
Look at the hair, the eyes.
Still no?


Okay.This might help.


Yes! It's him.
He is Macaulay Culkin of Home Alone film series fame.

Tsk. tsk. Poor guy, huh?

The New Spiderman

Ever since word of a "Spider-Man" reboot was announced, fans have been hungry for any scrap of info about the movie. How will this version differ from Sam Raimi’s hugely successful franchise? How will Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker stack up against Toby Maguire's? Today, we get an early look at the upcoming flick. Check out the pic below.


The photo, the first released from the movie, shows Parker in Spider-Man's iconic red and blue suit sans mask. His face has been scuffed up and his suit, which is more textured and less sculpted than in Spidey's previous incarnation, looks a bit worse for wear.
Garfield, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his turn in “The Social Network,” admits to being daunted playing the legendary web-slinger.

"I see it as a massive challenge in many ways," he told Details magazine. "To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well. I'm probably going to be the guy in the movie theater shouting abuse at myself. But I have to let that go. No turning back. And I wouldn't want to."
We'll have to wait until 2012 to see if Garfield manages to deliver the goods.

Best Action Sequence Ever..EVER!

This used to be the BEST action sequence of ALL time...


Until computer-generated special effects invaded Bollywood and they came up with this: 
( Thanks Mark for the link)


Now move over The Matrix, Terminator et al..

Author's Note: The clip was from the movie Enthiran- The Robot, to date the highest grossing Indian film of all time. I mentioned here "Bollywood", the more popular term for Indian-produced films and the industry. But actually it's a film produced in Tamil Nadu, sometimes referred to as Kollywood.
