We were all sad when George Romero’s Land of the Dead – a fierce and brilliantly good entry in his Dead series – didn’t do as well at the box office as the current crop of crappy horror films. I worried that this would be the end of the series – not because I wanted … Continue reading
As we reported a couple of weeks back, Iron Man has returned home to Marvel Studios. But now what? The movie languished in development for years at New Line and seemed close to getting made a couple of times, but it all came to nothing. Marvel has two options now – they could make the … Continue reading
Arrested Development‘s Gob the Magician, Will Arnett, is one of the funniest guys around, and Hollywood seems to be picking up on that, judging by how many movies he’s starring in in the near future. He just finished RV with Robin Williams. He’s also signed on to star in You’re Going to Prison with Dax … Continue reading
Most people only know Bob Saget from Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos. But the guy has another side – many comics call him the filthiest comedian working today. Audiences recently got a look at that side of Saget in The Aristocrats as well as on Entourage this last season, where he was enjoying … Continue reading
It seems that no matter how blasé I think I have gotten about Hollywood’s terrible, terrible movies and movie ideas, every now and again a new one comes along to shock me into actually caring.

Apparently, Disney had the option of producing a "secular" soundtrack as well as a "Christian" … Continue reading
Years ago I saw the Beastie Boys at Lollapalooza, here in New York City. Oh, it was the heyday of alt rock and I was flying my flannel and living the indie lifestyle. The crowd for the Beasties was, sadly, filled with jocks and boneheads, and the whole field at Randall’s Island turned into this … Continue reading
A woman has a fatal disease and decides to become immortal by getting bitten by a vampire. Hey, didn’t CHUDStories do a whole series on just that topic? Sadly, Thirst, a new vampire movie, isn’t based on one of our CHUDStories. Gladly it has a pretty cool cast, including Adam Baldwin in the lead. He … Continue reading
Honestly, I am really only writing about this because I have had the title rattling around in my head for a little while, and I needed to get it out there. Reese Witherspoon, whose head is shaped exactly like that of a grey alien, is developing a movie at Paramount called The Reckoning. The film, … Continue reading
