Spider-Man, a Chance to Go Back:

From Sony Entertainment, and Fathom Entertainment, Spider-Man is swinging back into cinemas for a limited run. The 2002 sensation will bring audiences back to the golden days of Peter Parker/Spiderman, and the foundation to what created a franchise of memories. It is such a joyful rollercoaster ride. Tobey Maguire (Pleasantville, The Cider House Rules) is Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst (Jumanji, Little Women) is Mary Jane.  For both actors, Spider-Man was a golden entry on their pathway to fame. With the superhero and comic book genre well established in the 23 years after the release of Sam Raimi’s original web-slinging adventure , there are a lot of fun featurettes as part of the Fathom Entertainment live event screening.

Fathom Entertainment Features:

Before the movie, audiences will have the chance to get a glimpse on how spider science was utilized in the making of the movie. They will have the idea of what writing was in place to make the true powers of Spider-Man come alive. What is also included are featurettes with Maguire and Raimi in which the veteran director works with the young Maguire regarding the framing of his character’s mindset. Since Maguire fits the personality of playing someone as shy, Raimi talks about how he got Maguire in tune to think fast (Spider-man). All those spidey senses tingling, all those shy guy personalities, there is a deeper sense of purpose in the featurettes shared prior to the main presentation. 

Worth the time?

For all the nostalgia, and the many moments that feel  surreal, the web slinging moments feel like a  meaningful  revisit. Spider-Man   still holds a great deal of meaning to many fans  around the world. And with a universe that has greatly expanded, this is one that feels both historic and classic.  Audiences have one last chance to revisit Spider-Man with Fathom Entertainment October 3. They will also have the chance to revisit Spider-Man 2.1 (the extended sequel) on October 3rd and Spider-Man 3 on October 5th. Tickets can be purchased in the link below. It is certainly worth refueling the webs of nostalgia and securing  spidey tickets today.

This is Spinal Tap (Fathom Entertainment) Review

Leave a comment

This is Spinal Tap is a grandeur of brilliance that is filled with classic moments. Rob Reiner’s early project has led to more audiences over the years. This mockumentary/rockumentary is one for the ages. While the various moving parts and witty characterizations seem improved, in the end it is all about how the film holds up over time. It may seem by some as low-quality, but I found the quality mesmerizing in this story which still has momentum. Revisiting this masterpiece on the big screen brought back lots of forgotten nostalgia thanks to the old footage in restoration mode.

With Reiner playing the lead of Marty DiBergi and directing, it is a film that despite struggles with marketing has become a sensation. The story about an unruly band of misfits holds appeal fo all generations. The tour is filled with trials and errors as the group that keeps trying to achieve success. The picture that is painted is realistic while maintaining clever humor and outstanding continuity. “Spinal Tap” is the group’s name. Many of the members continue down the road of hoping for stardom as they showcase their creativity. Along the way, they must overcome various plateaus that arise during their tour.

The group is dubbed one of, “England’s loudest bands.” The film feels loud due to the humorous and clever aspects that fuel the comedy and narrative. Even though this was filmed during Reiner’s early days of filmmaking, he created a masterpiece. Interested fans can learn about the details of the film and its release from Reiner himself with the screening hosted by Fathom Events. For those who want to relive the moments of This is Spinal Tap with higher quality, in-depth cinematography, this event is not to be missed. Rock and Roll with grainy fun that is taken to new heights. Four out of four stars for This is Spinal Tap.
