It’s not a huge piece of news, but it does allay some fears that I saw online a few weeks back – a sticker for the new Harry Potter film has a small image of Mad Eye Moody on it, and he looks pretty OK. See, an image of Brendan Gleeson, who stars as the … Continue reading
On the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, we are briefly reminded of an angry young chubby dude who helped invent gangsta rap. Today’s Variety brings us to the reality of what happened to that boy from South Central – he started making silly comedies. Are We There Yet? was just an embarrassment, but … Continue reading
Wilson over at BlackFilm manages to get himself lots of pictures and posters. Usually I am jealous, but tonight I find myself relieved. See, he has premiered the US poster for Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, the tremendously good first film in Park Chan-Wook’s vengeance trilogy (they’re unrelated beyond theme – Old Boy is the second … Continue reading

At CHUD.com we rarely run celebrity death notices. Seriously, is anyone’s life actually impacted by the death of Tigger? Move on, manchild. But sometimes a death is interesting in how it might impact an upcoming movie – such as Tony Scott’s Domino. See, it’s based on a real person, and she Jim Morrisoned it last … Continue reading
