The Spiderman Costumes

Spidey fans will love their favorite super hero no matter what venue or platform is being used, so expect this Spider Man Broadway play to be a huge success, and hopefully go on tour around the country. Everything becomes more real and tangible compared to a movie version. Imagine Spidey a few feet away, performing just for a relatively small crowd! This is an experience that no one should ever pass up. You will be transported to a place where dreams can come true. Nothing can compare the majesty and thrill of seeing your favorite super hero before you. With his newfound powers, Spider-Man finds himself face to face with the Green Goblin, played by Willem Dafoe. Propelled by the success of the first movie, SpiderMan returned in 2004 in SpiderMan 2 to face off against Doctor Octopus, a multi-tentacled experiment gone wrong. SpiderMan 3 is scheduled for release in 2007. This time he is set to face his biggest enemy yet, himself in his black venom alien suit.

Spiderman is actually a fictional superhero that was created by Marvel Comics, a company that has produced many other fictional superheroes. Its story revolved around this normal high school kid whose life changed because of a bite from a radioactive spider. And there are two very poplar Spiderman costumes that kids love to wear. The first one is the traditional red and blue Spiderman suit that almost every kid is familiar of. This is the very first suit that Spiderman wore and has become his signature outfit that he would wear every time that he would come to save the day. The recent feature films to focus on SpiderMan star Tobey Maguire as SpiderMan and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. The first movie, released in 2002, focuses on the start of SpiderMan's career, with a genetically modified spider taking the place of the original radioactive spider.

For the ultimate in sleepover fun, a Spiderman sofa is a wise purchase. Higher end sofas actually fold out into a bed big enough for a child. Models are available in differing price ranges. From basic to a little more fancy, this will complement items like your Spiderman sleeping bag quite nicely. With a bit of creativity and a few dollars, you can use Spiderman sleeping bags, pillows and other themed items to make your Marvel fan feel special. There's a wide variety of colours, for example grey with blue cape, overpants and boots, all black with grey cape, light grey and dark grey with Air Force blue lining to the cape and that's just for the men. You can also get the ripped abdominal muscles for the macho amongst you. Boys aren't left out either as these costumes come in all sizes, even for toddler.

Costumes In The Shawshank Redemption

A fantasy thriller, "Inception", which released recently in 2010, is said to be the most revolutionary film as it involves a very innovative way of thinking. "Star Wars", "Pulp Fiction" and "The God Father" are history makers because of the brilliant response from the public. These movies are famous all over the world, even in countries where the English language is not formally spoken. "The Lord of the Rings" provides excruciating talents onscreen and is a top movie. The top movies are nominated for the world's best awards, The Oscar and The Grammy. It is really a privilege for a film to just be nominated for an Oscar award, winning it is a totally different honor. Movies made by famous filmmakers are not the best ones always, low budget and lesser known people make great movies too. The secret is to check out the ratings before watching a movie because that gives us the surety that the movie will be a pleasurable experience. Thus, the above mentioned movies are some of the all time best films ever made in the history of English cinema.

Lastly timing, you do not want to wait until the last week to pick up a costume, you don't want to keep waiting not being able to decide on a costume and once you finally pick out your costume it might not be there.

The movie is all about a small, simple and plain four-letter word "Hope" and the storyline of the movie is "Going to prison for serving two life sentences of an innocent man for killing his wife and her secret lover, then his thrilling life in the prison and finally, after about 20 years his great escape from the prison.While many people will be turning to the traditional ghosts and ghouls, there is a whole universe of movie related Halloween costumes out there that would  be perfect for every taste!

Cool Movie Costume Ideas

You can make your own movie-inspired costumes using items from your closet and with a few inexpensive craft supplies. Salute your favorite movie or make fun of another with a fun, humorous character costume. Have fun making your costume and look forward to your friends' compliments on Halloween.




Dress as Will Ferrell's character from the movie "Elf" with yellow tights or leggings and a green jacket. Wear a wide black belt over the jacket, a pair of black shoes and a green elf hat. You can find an elf hat at a costume store or make a simple one using felt and a hot glue gun. Watch the movie "Elf" to learn some of the character's mannerisms. Complete the costume by walking around with a big, goofy grin on your face and saying, "Hi, I'm Buddy! What's your name?"
The Devil Wears Prada  Take this movie title literally and dress as a devil with Prada apparel or accessories. Simply wear a cheap red dress and a headband with devil horns and accessorize with high-heeled shoes and a fancy handbag. Write "Prada" in acrylic fabric paint or with a marker somewhere on your dress, shoes or purse.
Juno  You can dress as Juno or pair up with a friend or significant other to dress as Juno and her friend, Paulie Bleeker. To dress as Juno, wear an orange and white striped shirt stuffed with newspaper, felt or other clothing to look like a pregnant belly. Complete the look with a dark hoodie, jeans and Converse sneakers and wear your hair in a simple ponytail. To dress as Paulie Bleeker, wear yellow track shorts, yellow wristbands, a yellow headband, a red or burgundy T-shirt and a pair of running shoes. You can decorate the T-shirt with Bleeker's school mascot using yellow acrylic fabric paint. Carry a package of orange Tic-Tacs.
Breakfast at Tiffany's  Dress as Audrey Hepburn's character in this classic movie for a more formal movie-inspired costume. Wear a simple black dress, a pair of black pumps or flats and sunglasses. Look for long black gloves, fake pearls and a long cigarette holder at a costume shop. Wear your hair up in a bun.
Superheroes  Dress as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man or your favorite hero or villain from a superhero movie. Begin with tights or leggings and a leotard as a base, and attach felt insignias with hot glue. Make a cape and mask out of inexpensive metallic fabric. Superhero costumes work well for groups; gather some friends and dress as a powerful team of superheroes from one or more movies.

Henry Cavill: "Immortal" Superman

In the action movie Immortals, Henry Cavill plays Theseus, a peasant chosen by the Gods to defend the people against a horrible human tyrant. You might first have seen the gorgeous Henry giving King Henry the Eighth a run for a record at romancing the court ladies as hot Charles Brandon in the TV series “The Tudors”. Next year, you can watch him as Superman in Man of Steel.We’re asking smokin’ hot Henry about buffing up for Immortals, skimpy costumes and his take on playing fantasy heroes.TeenHollywood: You play a Greek hero in this film and an American hero next as Superman. What enables you to play a hero?

Relativity MediaHenry: I think the same thing that’s in any man or woman. It’s that opportunity to be that hero when you were a kid and swing your stick around playing knights, soldiers or cowboys. We want to do right. We want to save the world and to be good at what you’re doing. We want to be turned to, to be relied upon – all of those things.TeenHollywood: Is all the attention you are starting to get going to change your personal life?
Henry: You can’t spend your life worrying about what might be. You just get on with it and deal as it comes. You’ve got to enjoy it. The other day, I went to see Real Steel and I saw a poster. I told [my friend], “It’s Immortals! Look!”. He said, “Go and stand over there and I’ll take a picture”. “I’m not gonna go stand over there. What if someone sees you taking a photo of me in front of the Immortals poster!?” [we laugh]. It’s incredibly exciting. It really is.
TeenHollywood: People have called our comic books the modern mythology. Do you think there is a connection between things like Immortals and superhero films like your upcoming Man of Steel and will kids and teens see that?
Henry: It depends on the individual of course. What mythology is and the tales of heroes are is a set of ideals represented by individuals. In Superman it’s a very clear ideal. With the Greek myth characters, it’s a bit more circumspect. They have a lot more in the way of flaws. There are obviously similarities because these characters are representatives of what the ideals are. Hopefully kids will see that and take the good messages from it rather than just going around stabbing people with a spear.

TeenHollywood: Your co-star Freida Pinto said you were an inspiration on the set and that she was really impressed with your work. What is your mindset when you embarked on this role? She said you were first person on the set, the last person to leave…
Henry: Ah that is a wonderful thing to say. How do I prepare for a role? It’s the same way I prepare for any job and for anything I do in any walk of life. If you’re going to do it, do it properly and do it with everything you’ve got, otherwise go home and that was the polite version of what I was going to say. Commit and enjoy, no matter how difficult it is you can always find something in it which is enjoyable.
I knew it was going to be physically taxing going in and I took that as an opportunity to enjoy getting in to great shape. To take that into my life after the fact. The pain only lasts for a short while but the benefits you gain during pain will last you forever.
TeenHollywood: Can you talk about bulking up for this film?
Henry: It was a martial arts base training and tabata training (high repetition circuit training) which tends to be hard repetitions of body weight exercises with 25 repetitions of say press ups, followed by eight deep breaths, followed by 25 ab exercises, followed by something else and was one round. And then you have to do four rounds of that. Your recovery is eight breaths. It was [going for] a very lean as opposed to a bulky ripped, physique. Very low on carbs. A lot of meat and fish but no starchy carbs.
TeenHollywood: So you leave the set of Immortals and you look like a swimmer and now you go to the Superman set and they say, “We need a completely different guy”. Do you they tell you to change your diet and work out regime?
Henry: I finished with Immortals, then I got a job on Cold Light of Day where the director said “I need you to look like a normal person.” So no more press ups, no more sit ups, eat drink and be merry and I did, right up until I looked into the mirror again and I was eating and drinking again but I certainly wasn’t merry.

I then went onto Superman and it was obvious how they wanted me to look. It’s in comic books around the world. It was going to be a weight-based training regime and it was obvious from the comics that I needed to put on a good size.
TeenHollywood: Is there a way an actor can buy into playing a pure fantasy character that is just so far from real human experience? Is it the story?
Henry: Yeah, and someone like Tarsem (Singh, the director) has such an incredible imagination and a creative side. He can make you see what it is he is seeing in his head through artwork and models so once you’ve seen it physically, it’s very easy to buy into. Plus, we all have the imagination and creativity in our head. It’s just a matter of letting it bleed out into the real world.
TeenHollywood: Were you a fan of Greek Mythology?
Henry: Yeah, I’ve always been a fan of stories from mythology and history. As a kid, I enjoyed reading it and growing up with it.
TeenHollywood: Henry, when you are playing a hero, how much depends on the flaws and doubts of that hero?
Henry: To play a hero effectively, I think you have to depend entirely on the flaws and doubts of that hero because in modern and past society, heroes are prevalent and it’s sort of become a little boring to be “too good”, too great at everything you do. So, to focus on all the things which make life so difficult for that individual, makes them more heroic when they overcome them and overcome everything else bearing down on them. But, the personal difficulties, faults and problems they have, are, I think what make heroes interesting.
TeenHollywood: So I assume you’ve incorporated that into playing Superman?
Henry: [laughs]. Gosh. Who knows? You’ll have to wait and see.
TeenHollywood: I would think that the character’s costumes help you create him but a lot of your costume in this is skimpy and you are just oiled up. How does that help?
Henry: [laughs] Well, it really helps because when you’re covered in oil and you are sticky and stuck to stuff on the set, you’re a pretty miserable individual. At that particular moment, Theseus was a miserable individual so it helped enormously. I’m a big fan of costume to help get into character. I think it does a wonderful job and I embrace it entirely even though it was an uncomfortable experience certainly, you’ve gotta use it.
