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.
I feel like we here at CHUD are on the verge of spamming our love for Hot Fuzz, so I’m going to do my best to keep this brief. But how can we not be ebullient about a movie that meets and exceeds expectations? When a team like Wright, Pegg and Frost go from cool … Continue reading →
Midway through the regionally produced good-ol’-boy romp, Redneck Miller, the titular character – a hotshot DJ in some random Carolina municipality where "hotshot" bona fides are easy to come by provided one still has a functional tooth or two – breaks up the near rape of his mistress by a bunch of hoods looking to … Continue reading →
There’s nothing worse for a genre filmmaker’s career than to attain geek deification with one’s first picture. While the initial adulation is wonderful, expectations set in as soon as the second movie is announced. Give ’em enough time, and they’ll start writing the next one themselves – either in their heads or as fan fiction … Continue reading →
I hate nostalgia. It’s an awful quality in human beings, and it’s getting worse as we go further into the 21st century – we’re getting nostalgic for things that happened this week, it seems. No nostalgia drives me as nuts as that for bad things from the 80s, especially bad movies and TV shows. But … Continue reading →
Lonely Hearts is not a bad movie. It’s more often than not a pretty good one; well made and filled with some excellent performances. Yet the movie never quite clicks, perhaps because it insists on telling two stories – one that is dramatic and one that slowly peters out, neither of which complement each other. … Continue reading →
Before I begin this vastly negative review for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters, I think I need to establish my drug bona fides. The reason for that is because many, many people will dismiss the extreme level of hatred I have for this movie because they’ll think I don’t ‘get’ stoner … Continue reading →
GI Jesus has a lot of things on its mind. It’s thinking about the war in Iraq. It’s thinking about immigration from Mexico. It’s thinking about how soldiers do or don’t reintegrate into society. It’s thinking about how being away affects a soldier’s family, and how the current stoploss policies hit them even harder. And … Continue reading →
We’ve always known that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodgriguez love trashy old b-movies at least as much as chicks and music. They sketched out their own a decade ago in From Dusk Till Dawn, and now they’ve finally gone full bore. The three-hour blast called Grindhouse exhumes, re-examines and reinvents the film’s namesake style. In … Continue reading →
Even if you’ve always wanted to see the Book of Exodus enacted chapter and verse (with Louisiana doubling for Cairo) I highly suggest not rushing out to buy a ticket for The Reaping. It’s not so much a horror flick or thriller as an enaction of Christian fantasy, where any moral indecision can be resolved … Continue reading →
