With Hostel’s "not quite what we expected" performance this weekend (Dellamorte explains), I’ve heard such talk as this: bloviation that Hostel II‘s opening return is an indicator of big opening horror having run its course. Will 2006/2007 mark the high in horror until the next Scream makes it fashionable again? Or is it all just … Continue reading
Any Tea Leoni fans in the house? News for you: the steady drip that’s been Leoni’s output since ’91 will remain remarkably consistent. The wife of Mulder has been cast with Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear in prolific writer and Spielberg go-to-guy David Koepp’s upcoming directorial effort, Ghost Town. Ghost Town (as described here in … Continue reading
Despite a fair amount of cheese spread over the dry cracker (not that kind of cracker, you racist bastard) that is Stan Lee, you can’t deny the guy’s infectious charm. Stan Lee was always the larger than life excelsior!-ator and legend until his introduction as wannabe superhero mentor in the ridiculously overblown and embarrassingly entertaining … Continue reading
Yesterday, Devin debuted the resoundingly deja-vutastic I Am Legend theatrical poster. The one-sheet is uninspiring, doing nothing more than advertising "Hey! A Will Smith movie! And he’s carrying a satchel!" Fortunately, hot on its CMYK comes the trailer, which is still Spartan in its execution– but in a way that’s won my love. Wisely (and … Continue reading
After having lost American Idol, Clay Aiken style (I lost, but I’m loved!), Katherine McPhee is doing what any Southern California resident aspires to – acting. Of course, other less fortunate and less attractive Southern Californians have to work tables at The Peach Pit and struggle and sleep with unattractive people in their quest for … Continue reading

Man, that crap was terrible and man if I didn’t think Clifton was the worst of the lot. I’ve been reassured I can lay all that hate at the feet of Renny Harlin, because Clifton … Continue reading
The only time I’ve seen the HBO polygamy series Big Love was when I caught Bill Paxton’s hairy ass-crack and dangling balls hopping into bed on top top of Ginnifer Goodwin. I remember thinking, "If I ever wanted to know what a prison-eyed view of Bill Paxton’s nutsack looks like, there you go… but hey- … Continue reading
You know what’s funny? The story of women scorned. There’s nothing that doles out stitches more than a rom-dram-com chiseled from the granite of feminine vengeance. There’s nothing most people love more than watching hilarious comedy classics like John Tucker Must Die, How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days*, My Best Friends Wedding and … Continue reading
A few days back, the masters of CHUD let out a pentagasmic critique on the pinnacle of movie disappointment: Star Wars: Episode One. Every last entry nailed at least one panging facet (sans the whole toy collecting hobby) I’ve felt since the onslaught of the Star Wars prequels eight years ago. Still, the whole affair … Continue reading
