more information Truly, the days of expecting Lee to appear in every movie based on a Marvel character in some increasingly tenuous, distracting manner are definitely over. our editor recommends Stan Lee's Chinese Superhero Project Scores 'Enchanted' Producer Bleeding Cool reports that Lee told fans attending his panel at the convention that he passed up the chance to cameo in next year's X-Men: Days of Future Past to attend the convention -- or, as he apparently put it, to not disappoint the fans -- meaning that next year's X-flick will be the second in a row in which he hasn't made an appearance (he wasn't in this year's The Wolverine either, as the Australia shooting locale was deemed too far to travel). Lee's Marvel movie cameos started with the original X-Men movie in 2000, with the co-creator of the Marvel Universe going on to appear in all three Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, both Hulk and The Incredible Hulk, the two Fantastic Four movies, all three Iron Man movies, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and last year's Avengers; you've seen him selling hotdogs and sunglasses, delivering mail and judging beauty contests, amongst many other things (He's also been mistaken for Hugh Hefner and Larry King by Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in a nice play on the cameo conceit).

After launching his cameo career with X-Men, he skipped X2: X-Men United before reappearing in X-Men: The Last Stand. <br>Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/stan-lee-chooses-conventioneering-x-613636
While the story may seem like a silly one, it may ultimately play a big part on how well "Guardians of the Galaxy" is received. The film online already boasts a star-studded cast that includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, John C. Reilly, and Benicio Del Toro, but Gunn appears to banking a lot on Rocket connecting with audiences. At Comic-Con, he explained why the little guy is his clear favorite among the alien ensemble. "You say, 'Oh, there's a talking raccoon. How does that exist?' You really take it backwards from there and say, 'How would that exist?' It's not about creating Bugs Bunny in the middle of the Avengers," Gunn said. "This is about creating a character that's a little animal that was taken and experimented on and pulled apart and put back together again and implanted with cybernetics. <br>Source: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1712794/guardians-of-galaxy-rocket-raccoon-voice.jhtml
Comments 0 (L-R) Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler in the unique character-driven thriller "Scenic Route." (Courtesy of Vertical Entertainment / August 21, 2013) Also See more stories X By Inkoo Kang August 21, 2013, 7:20 p.m. "Scenic Route" begins with the promise of bone-crunching violence. Before a single image appears, we hear thuds, moans, fists against flesh. Two men finally emerge, their faces http://wixeywdorsettdee.bravesites.com/entries/general/kim-kardashian-sparks-feminist-debate-is-she-the-overlooked-face-of-feminism smeared with blood. First-time feature directors Kevin and Michael Goetz then show how two lifelong friends, preppy Mitchell ( Josh Duhamel ) and schlubby Carter ( Dan Fogler ), became stranded by the loneliest road in the American Southwest and broke each other's noses. Tempers initially flare when Carter, an unemployed writer, tries to convince his pal that his finance job and suburban house have led him astray. Though they're in every scene of the agoraphobic chamber drama, Mitchell and Carter never extend beyond the archetypes of Unhappy Family Man and Bitter Failed Artist. <br>Source: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-scenic-route-review-20130823,0,166525.story
Movie review: 'World's End' not so funny after all
In Drinking Buddies, Kate (Olivia Wilde) and Luke (Jake Johnson) are co-workers at a craft brewery whose friendship may be turning into something more. The problem with that: both are already in relationships -- with Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick respectively -- and life is managing to throw them curves that may well lead to the "unfortunate discovery" phase of a relationship well before either have decided whether they're actually in love. As with such previous films as Hannah Takes the Stairs and Alexander the Last, Swanberg's story-telling style is pleasantly relaxed and ragged, although here he's working with a more high-profile cast (albeit with such walk-ons as director Ti West). We got a few minutes with Swanberg to talk about his approach, and also to explore the life-or-death, take-no-prisoners (joke) world of craft brewing.

Pegg), still waxing nostalgic about those glory days. He rounds up the old gang, although not without some difficulty and resistance. Corporate lawyer Andy (Mr. Frost), for instance, hasn't had a drink in 16 years and initially wants no part of "The Golden Mile" marathon or onetime best friend Gary for reasons later made clear. When Gary says, "We are here to get annihilated," he has no idea how true that might be when it turns out something very strange is happening in the suburban U.K. <br>Source: http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/ae/movie-reviews/movie-review-worlds-end-not-so-funny-after-all-700482/
