THE PROGNOSTICATOR – MARCH
The third installment of The Prognosticator, CHUD.com’s look at your movie future, is here. And it’s only two days late! Around these parts that’s a miracle, lemme tell you. As the year gets older, the movies gets better and more interesting, and the month of March has some really solid stuff coming, especially if you’re … Continue reading
CHUDSTORIES: MOTHER GOOSE
(From the Twisted Childhood stories)Dust piled upon dust piled upon boxes laid upon the floor, all filled with memory. The click of a pull-chain sprays stark glare upon the age worn trinkets of childhood. From somewhere far below, the static of four a.m. TV echoes upward to the attic. Lidless eyes glare angrily; doll faces … Continue reading
HE SAID OLD BOY, NOT OLD MOVIE!
Who will direct the remake of Evil Dead? Not Old Boy helmer Chan Wook Park, that’s for sure. He turned Sam Raimi’s ass down when offered the chance. "[W]e did approach him, but I don’t think it was right for him,” Raimi tells Empire Online. “I don’t want to put words into his mouth, but … Continue reading
INTERVIEW: THE ROCK
Not many tough guys would be so comfortable poking fun at their personas, but The Rock goes all out. In Be Cool, he lets himself get beaten up, he plays his trademark eyebrow gesture as a ridiculous mockery, and he plays gay. He commits to it with no fear, and ends up adding depth to … Continue reading

Hopefully my presence here will help give you guys even more variety in terms of actual news and editorial wit (that hopefully won’t be TOO … Continue reading
INTERVIEW: JOAN ALLEN
We don’t usually get to see Joan Allen in a starring role. There’s only really been The Contender. Otherwise it’s been supporting roles in films like The Notebook, The Bourne Supremacy and Face/Off. Even big roles in Pleasantville and The Ice Storm cast her as an equal part in a big ensemble. The Upside of … Continue reading

GUNNER PALACE: F*CK YEAH!
There’s a documentary coming to theaters soon that goes by the name of Gunner Palace. It’s about soldiers in Iraq, and it’s told from their point of view, and includes all their salty soldier speak. The MPAA gave the film an R rating. The filmmakers and distributors Palm Pictures felt this was unfair. While the … Continue reading
