This week on The Plot Hole, Steven and Simon start things off with some superhero movies news (as is more often than not the case) including big casting reveals for X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Then, helping to kick off awards season 2012, we mull over the winners of the New York Film Critics Circle which had an unlikely victor for Best Film of the year.

Also, speaking of winners, we chat the best movie posters of the year, along…

With every new clip I see for Peter Ramsey's 'Rise of the Guardians,' I  go back and forth on whether or not I'm excited about it. On the one hand, conceptually it sounds great. All the childhood legends coming together to fight evil? Santa fighting alongside the Easter…

I guess I should disclose right off the bat that I do not like musicals, but I'd hazard that even those who do might have trouble getting into this trailer for Adam Shankman's 'Rock of Ages.' This star-packed film takes place in 1987 L.A. and is essentially a love story set against an epic rock scene. The film's cast includes…

Why is this my second edition you might ask because I did a first edition of Youtube in 2008 trying to emulate barringer 82's favorite films video which is this:

Sean Connery trying to be a Russian, nothing else is better than that.



When a Soviet nuclear sub headed toward American waters drops off U.S.scanners, the Yanks scramble to take defensive steps. But CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) convinces the brass that the sub's commander (Sean Connery) has something other than a first strike in mind.



Now getting ready to watch this movie I was all hyped up. I love Sean Connery in any… Continue

Too Funny!!!

Madagascar 2 is really a very funny movie. This sequel is a step forward from the first one maybe because the story is more interesting and the plot is better developed. Also it is a non-stop laughing for an hour and a half with some very funny references from other movies. The cast of voices is great. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer repeating their roles as Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are again so funny and amusing. Sasha Baron Cohen as king Julien is… Continue

Today, one of my icons, Alec Guinness, died nearly 8 years ago, 5th… Continue
