Ah, pay cable. The great equalizer. Sure, it takes a certain something special to get a major studio to finance your film, then like it enough to release it with lots of prints and advertising. But suppose you got a film fulla stars and you still ain’t got that magic? There’s still no reason to … Continue reading
In the recording for the latest podcast (coming soon…we promise!), we got into a discussion of comedians/comedic actors who get trapped into an onscreen persona and are unable to find significant and/or successful work outside of it. Missing from that discussion was Jeremy Piven, whose still-pretty-damn-good turn as Ari on Entourage has been both career-defining … Continue reading
Jesus, we’ve been awash in some great trailers this week. Add another to the pile. The new American Gangster international trailer is online, and it…is…fuckin’ epic. Between the ace intro use of Bobby Womack’s “Across 110th Street” (Um….Jackie Brown, anybody?) to the operatic music and pacing of the latter half, this baby bangs. CLICK HERE … Continue reading
As a fan of Westerns, I’m pleased as punch to see a bigscreen resurgence this year. 3:10 to Yuma has good buzz and great pedigree, and hot on its September heels comes The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which now has a brand spanking new trailer that improves 100 percent on … Continue reading
If only this were 1997 instead of 2007…you remember 1997, don’t you? The music world was on the verge of being overrun with kooky rap/metal combinations. Limp Biskit had just released their debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Yall$, to a chilly reception that got mighty warmer once they released its carcinogenic cover of George Michael’s … Continue reading
Waking up to Carla Gugino casting news is like waking up as a child Christmas morning, only instead of frenzied glee as I tear into presents, it’s more me tearing through Google Search to enjoy her well-photographed self. I’m dignified like that. But as an adult, I do have responsibility to get a grip and … Continue reading

Sometimes we go a little bit heavy on penis/poop/what have you humor on this site, and I know it can be a bit much for you folks. Also, I want CHUD to be a more accommodating and inclusive site for people to read, and the last thing I want to do is alienate you good … Continue reading
Ok, quick: Name something obviously missing from John Singleton’s Four Brothers that would’ve made it a much better film. A decent plot? Ehhh, I’m going to have to buzz you on that one. Less ridiculous racial stereotypes? Nice try. Come on, people…think! Two less brothers? Good, very good. But I’m looking for the number one … Continue reading
