The 20 Best Songs Written For Movies
Warner Bros.
Everyone seems just as pumped for the Jay-Z-produced soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby" as they are for the flick itself.
But before we look ahead at what The Hova has in store for what we can only imagine will be the coolest-ever soundtrack to something you were forced to read in high school, let's look back at some of the all-time great movie songs.

May Movie Math: It All Adds Up
Marvel
Your mother always told you that math would be important. As it turns out — and we're not just saying this because it's Mother's Day and flowers are really expensive and we need to start sucking up now — she's right.
We just bet you didn't know that you'd need that math to decide what to see this coming month. From the party that won't stop in "The Great Gatsby" to superheroes galore in "Iron Man 3," here's your arithmetic-driven guide to May 2013, the official beginning of summer movie season. Get More »

8 Summer Movie Face Swaps
Is there any more truly disturbing or grotesque Internet sensation than the Face Swap? It makes for a relatively simple spell of Photoshop wizardry, and yet the results can plummet your subconsciousness into a bizarro nightmare world that looks like an Aphex Twin music video with movie stars.
As we certainly like spreading humor mixed with discomfort all to and fro, we've conjured a collection of Summer Movie Face Swaps guaranteed to make you laugh so that you may not cry (though you may do that as well later). Behold, and remember that once you take a look, you can never take that look back.

2013 Summer Blockbusters Re-Imagined as Indies
Summer movie season is once again upon us, as the likes of "Iron Man 3," "The Wolverine" and "Pacific Rim" are set to blow us through the back wall of the theater with their huge action sequences, top-notch special effects and occasional witty quips.
But blockbusters aren't the only kind of movies at the multiplex this summer; they share space alongside quieter, more critically acclaimed fare. And let's face it — inside every loud, attention-grabbing, big-budget action flick or raucous all-star comedy, there's a sensitive, modest indie just waiting to get out. Right?
With that in mind, we've once again reinvented 10 summer blockbusters as smaller, less explosion-heavy films. After all, it's not such a huge leap to see "Fast & Furious 6" as a twee road trip movie about a non-traditional family or "Man of Steel" as the ultimate tale of an outsider wandering the Earth in search of identity and purpose.
