There’s a pretty palpable Garden State backlash out there. To those people, I can only implore: “Please… please! Go fuck yourself.” It’s a really good movie, a very honest and nice movie, and a fantastic first effort. Maybe that’s why people hate it so much. Garden State turned me into a Zach Braff fan – … Continue reading
The first New York ComiCon was a chaotic place to be on Saturday. The show had about half of the Javits Center, New York City’s big convention center, but that turned out to not be enough – fire marshals and state troopers showed up to do crowd control when 20,000 people showed up for a … Continue reading
One of the big problems with most films about traumatic and lethal disasters is that they just don’t have a cuddle factor. They’re often bummers, and have a dearth of cute animals. I mean, do you think Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center is going to have any bunnies or other furry woodland creatures in it, … Continue reading

I am fairly certain that boats shouldn’t be sailing at that angle. Yes, it’s the teaser poster for Poseidon, the remake of the overturned boat film from the 70s, The Poseidon Adventure. You may remember that I visited the set of this film last year, where I received a sound thrashing from none other than … Continue reading

V For Vendetta is the most dangerous film of 2006. If you’re an idiot or a fascist, that is. Remember that when people begin complaining about this film, and try to figure out which of the two categories they fit in. Or maybe they’ll fit in both! I cannot bring you a review of this … Continue reading
David Morse is one of those typical CHUD actors: we love him because of his long career of little roles in great films, where he’ll often have a memorable scene or two. He hit the big time – sort of – with his own short-lived TV show, Hack, but in general Morse isn’t one of … Continue reading
