THERE’S A SECRET IN THEIR DRAWERS

After a brief respite from snatching up as many comics and videogames he can find to transform into various movies, producer/geek Daniel Alter is warming up his grab-hands again, this time with a project called The Secret Drawer Society. The story, described as "The Goonies meets The Ring", is based on a real-life phenomenon where previous … Continue reading

GUGINO GOES GUGGENHEIM

Now that her luck with TV continues running bad (her sci-fi series Threshold, a show with interesting characters shackled by a generic premise, joins the lamented Karen Sisco on the cancellation heap), tasty treat Carla Gugino is heading back to theaters. Gugino, who last flaunted her fantastic form in Sin City (thank you, dear), is … Continue reading

TRAILER: 5-25-77

Holy Hoth, it seems like I’ve heard about this movie almost as many years as I’ve been writing for CHUD and chasing girls half my age (not necessarily associated hobbies), but 5-25-77 finally seems like it’s ready to escape the tractor beam of development hell. The movie is a love letter to the first Star Wars, with toothy Freaks … Continue reading

THE WEINSTEINS STILL HATE ASIANS AND YOU

By now the Weinsteins’ treatment of their Asian film acquisitions during their Miramax days is practically legendary. More enamored with possession than actually sharing with audiences, they constantly grabbed domestic distribution rights to quality titles like Shaolin Soccer and Hero, then sliced them to ribbons and/or sat on them interminably (some of the films they … Continue reading
