Posted: July 3, 2012 at 8:42 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

It’s hard to believe that is was barely 10 years ago that the first Spider-Man film was released. Here we are a decade later and we already have a reboot, new cast and a new director. I will admit, Spider-Man is one of my favorite superheros of all time, and I loved the first three […]

Steve Kelley Reviews ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans

Posted: July 3, 2012 at 6:47 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Sony Pictures Casts Rhys Ifans as the Villain Lizard in “Spider-Man” Reboot

Posted: October 15, 2010 at 2:26 pm   /   Local, Movie News

The studio quickly countered media people like me by hiring a quality […]
