We’re a hotheaded group of individuals. We crave a pull quote like anyone else, but it’s not about that. It’s only about you the reader. We love you. We want to take you home and cuddle with you. The following reviews are the opinions of the editors of CHUD.com and are by most accounts bang on.
This year has dealt a serious blow to my ability to claim any one film is the ‘best’ anything of this year, especially when it comes to comedies*. 2007 has been bafflingly rich in comic gold, and if you had told me back in February that Hot Fuzz might not be the best comedy of … Continue reading →
The Kingdom is one of the most remarkable and extraordinary movies of 2007; smart and thoughtful while never sacrificing tension, excitement or teeth-shattering action, Peter Berg has made a current events thriller that will stand in the years to come as a cinematic snapshot of our fucked up moment in time. Berg has proven himself … Continue reading →
I hope Alan Moore goes to see Stardust. His work has never been treated with such reverence as Matthew Vaughn shows Neil Gaiman, but the film instills hope that it might be. Whether or not Moore buys a ticket, you definitely should. Not to make the point too directly, but it’s a wonderful piece of … Continue reading →
There’s nothing wrong with the dreadful Skinwalkers that couldn’t be fixed, which is why I hate it so much. I knew it was headed in the wrong direction when Cronenberg was no longer listed as an executive producer, and never did have faith that Jason Behr could project depth beyond his shaving commercial stubble to … Continue reading →
There’s a moment about halfway into Rush Hour 3 that sums it up nicely. Having evaded goons in the Parisian sewer system, Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and James Carter (Chris Tucker) arrive at their fancy hotel stinking of shit. In the elevator, reeking and dripping, also rides the French actress Silvie Laguna. (You might remember … Continue reading →
Publisher: William MorrowPages: 280Buy from Amazon! Author Website Why the hell didn’t we get A-Game Ellis with his prose debut? This is just barely his B-Game. Warren Ellis is one of my favorite writers, and Transmetropolitian, flaws and all, is one of my top five comic series ever. I just wanted to get that out … Continue reading →
You need to see Hot Rod just so you can say you were on the Danny McBride bandwagon a year early. 2008 is going to be this guy’s year, as he has an incredible supporting role in Pineapple Express, almost stealing the whole movie from Seth Rogen and James Franco, and Paramount Vantage is going … Continue reading →
The Bourne Ultimatum isn’t just the best action movie of the summer, it’s one of the best movies of the year. And it’s a movie that stands up and loudly disproves a lot of long-held assumptions that we all have: that an action film has to be stupid, that a third film in a trilogy … Continue reading →
If The Bourne Ultimatum were to slow down, the viewer would suddenly realize how many coincidences and leaps of logic are required to keep the story moving forward and check right the fuck out – which is to say it’s no different than such classic hard-chargers as North by Northwest or Raiders of the Lost … Continue reading →
This review has spoilers. Don’t read it if you have not read the book. Obviously this makes it useless as a review, but this is the seventh book in a massively popular series, and if you don’t know if you’re going to want to read it already, no review will sway you. Jerk. I didn’t … Continue reading →
