When I interviewed Brett Ratner in Vegas last month, he sent some mixed messages about remakes: “Hollywood is unfortunately built on the sequels right now – it’s all about the sequels and the remakes, and that’s a challenge.

The Scorpion King, Be Cool, Doom – not one of these movies are particularly defensible or worth a second look. There’s … Continue reading
After the press conference for World Trade Center, I went up to Oliver Stone and told him that his films are one of the main reasons I was sitting with the press corps that day – Stone’s movies were one of the crucial links between film as fun and film as something meaningful for me. … Continue reading
I’m not gonna lie – this year has been sorely disappointing when it comes to movies. Sure there have been a handful of high quality blindsiders and a few prepackaged blockbusters that scraped past average, but 2006 has really dropped a heavy steamer on the chest of film fanatics. Will next year prove any better? … Continue reading
Good Day, Nick here. Since the late 90’s (except for 2005, which was my "dark year at CHUD.com") we’ve done a CHUD Babe Draft. It used to be a little creepier back in the day, a concept of an island populated by Chewers complete with each of these handpicked "harems" of the best and brightest … Continue reading
