Damien is a member of the elite police task force. Special intervention unit officer and expert in martial arts, he is … Continue reading
Michael Cuesta’s first feature, L.I.E., was one of the first films I ever reviewed for CHUD. That review seems to have become lost in the ether, which just goes to show you how long it’s been between films for Cuesta. His latest is 12 and Holding, and it again is about young people in the … Continue reading
Woody Allen’s next film (not Scoop, hitting theaters this year. His next, next film, which is still not officially titled) will have some bright lights on the marquee: Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor are starring.

It’s nice to see that a few acting awards aren’t enough to scare William H. Macy away from the gratuitously grotesque. The increasingly busy guy will lend his prodigious lobes to House of Re-Animator, the fourth flick in the Lovecraftian series of revived cadavers. Macy will play a bumbling United States President who croaks during … Continue reading

This has colored my first viewing of the German trailer for Oliver Stone’s entry in the 9/11 film festival, World … Continue reading
