The films I didn’t see that are sure to be dire are many, but it’s hard to berate them having not seen them. Face-crushing efforts I chose to not see this year include: Ice Age: The Meltdown, Click, Scary Movie 4, Failure to Launch, The Pink Panther, The Santa Clause 3, Saw III, Naco Libre, … Continue reading

Even moreso than “Best of” lists, “Worst of” lists are highly subjective. Some people would expect a “Worst of” list to contain something like The Marine, but why would it? It seems to me that the worst movies of the year aren’t the ones that were never intended to be any good, but rather the … Continue reading

If you’re looking to kill some time over the holidays, two genre-cuddling websites are up and ready for your chronosticidal tendencies. First, Tony Stark has finally ponied up the capital to establish a URL for Iron Man. The official site, www.ironmanmovie.com is up… but not so operational. As is the case for most film sites … Continue reading
Welcome to the revival of CHUD.com’s video game presence, Master Control Program. Since it’s an exciting [and expensive] time to be a video game aficionado, what better time to bring back the column that almost was, a look at all things console and handheld? That is what they call in the business a rhetorical question. … Continue reading

I walked out of Letters From Iwo Jima thinking that we could have saved a lot of American lives in the Pacific Theater of WWII if we had just let the Japanese alone for a bit to kill themselves. Clint Eastwood’s companion piece to the dud-ish Flags of Our Fathers is soaked in suicide, with … Continue reading
I have developed a reputation with some of the studio publicists I work with as someone who is very interested in talking to writers and directors moreso than actors. It’s true – I find that I’m fascinated by the thought behind the creation of a good movie more than the famous faces that populate it. … Continue reading
A quick caveat: This is the transcript of a press conference I was not at; thanks to the beautiful and brilliant Kara Warner for hooking us up. It’s been 13 years since Robert DeNiro’s last directorial effort, A Bronx Tale (although IMDB has him as the uncredited director of The Score?), so it’s inherently interesting … Continue reading
