You know exactly what theyre going for with their Luthor, just by Eisenbergs name. Its Mark Zuckerberg vs Superman, the supergod vs the awkward genius. But thats not the only big action movie hes got coming up. But here are ten other, lesser-known Eisenberg performances that are well worth tracking down.

Chiwetel Ejiofor talks Z for Zachariah, Doctor Strange, and The Martian

Ad content continues below Chiwetel Ejiofor: No. I didnt really know much about the novel. It was only after I spoke to Craig. So then I went and read the novel and just sort of understood what he was talking about basically. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel itself, as well. But I think it was great to kind of extend that and pull it in a slightly different direction. What was your take on Loomis as you started to explore the character a bit?...

Narcos: Netflix’s new crime thriller is worth sticking with

Released today on Netflix, crime thriller Narcos stumbles early on but rapidly improves. It seems like its stylistically trying to evokeGoodfellas, but ultimately it feels clumsy and lazy. And if I was reviewing the first episode alone, I wouldnt have much positive to report. Focus is the big problem with the pilot. Another major problem is the paper thin characterization of Murphy. Our ostensible protagonist, Murphy is a bland character in a show full of morally grey players....

Corrado Farina Interview: They Have Changed Their Face

Corrado Farina only made two films, both using horror in an interesting way. He tells us a little about his approach… Myths do not die, they just get transformed… This is perhaps the most significant line in Corrado Farinas little-seen masterpieceThey Have Changed Their Face(1971). The film wholly inverts the usual metaphor of the vampire who offers seductive decadence and freedom from conventional society. It was produced in co-operative, explains Farina to me, when I ask how it disappeared so quickly....
