Roger Ebert hoped to be back on his feet and reviewing movies by now, and so had we. But it turns out that the cancer in his salivary gland requires more treatment. “[T]he surgeons tell me they will have to take a staged, multi-phased approach to getting me back in shape,” Ebert says in a … Continue reading

As CHUD’s recent “Turdformers” article proves, sometimes toy manufacturers have no choice but to let the cat out of the bag when it comes to licensed material. On that note, witness the Medicom Real Action Hero Spider-Man 3 Venom doll, distributed by Sideshow Collectibles. These images offer a clearer view of the design than the … Continue reading
I never thought I would be a Will Ferrell fan, but here I am, digging him in movie after movie (not Bewitched. Or Kicking and Screaming. Or… well, you get the point). Blades of Glory may not be prime Ferrell – that’s reserved for the films he does with Adam McKay – but it’s got … Continue reading
CHUDdy Buddy Kurt Wimmer took quite a pounding last year with Ultraviolet, his latest gonzo action movie – which was taken out of his hands in the editing stage, and released in a form that he didn’t like. And the movie that was released was a disaster, which wasn’t great news after his last directorial … Continue reading
The spying game in our post-Cold War world seems to often be all about planting bugs in mosques and guys transporting old Russian nukes in the back of pick-up trucks across bumpy Syrian landscapes.

So I don’t know what it exactly means when Another Bullshit Night in Suck City has come to be under the … Continue reading
Here at CHUD we’re always looking to break a story wide open, so when I got an email from reader Dale Dennis, I sprung immediately into investigative reporter mode. Dale’s email: Subject: JoBlo “Drive-Away Dykes” StoryBody: I don’t see how this can be legit. Not only is the site completely primitive, with no company name … Continue reading
It’s December 2005 and I’m watching oily half-naked men swing swords around. No, I am not at Garth Franklin’s latest party – it’s the set of 300, Warner Bros’ adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel take on the Battle of Thermopylae, where 300 Spartans held off maybe a million or more Persians, saving Greece and … Continue reading
Gerard Butler did his interview with us on the 300 set visit fully clothed. Later, of course, we would see him running around in his ancient Greek diapers and cape, but for now he’s just a regular guy, not yet a Spartan Warrior. 300 could be huge for Butler. He’s appeared in many films, but … Continue reading
