Movie Reviews

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.

REVIEW: BEWITCHED

There is so much wrong with Bewitched that I don’t even know where to start. The film is a bona fide disaster, a terrible piece of crap that just flounders around on screen for an hour and a half or so until it finally dies. It’s so poorly made that I walked out of the theater … Continue reading

TAG TEAM REVIEW: LAND OF THE DEAD

The response to our tag team approach has proven successful, so expect more of these for choice titles. The next one being War of the Worlds. Each time it’ll be Russ, Devin, and myself and one gentleman or lady plucked from our group of literate buddies (most likely an Atlanta contingent member) to help out. … Continue reading

REVIEW: BATMAN BEGINS

There is no definitive version of Batman. In the character’s eight decades he’s undergone so many variations, been the subject of so many different “takes” that he can be all things to all readers. Many will claim that Batman Begins is the “definitive” movie version of  Batman, but it’s not. What Batman Begins is, though, … Continue reading

REVIEW: HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE

How many masterpieces does one filmmaker get in a lifetime? Is there a finite store of incredible genius that can be burned through? Too many careers show that maybe this is the case, and Quentin Tarantino has said that filmmaking is a young man’s game. And while he may not be working in exactly the … Continue reading

TAG TEAM REVIEW: BATMAN BEGINS

While Devin’s official review of Batman Begins arrives next week, we wanted to voice our opinions on the film, as there’s been some incredible hyperbole out there on the web clouding what might be a really unique theater experience for some of you out there. I really liked the film, so did Micah, but we … Continue reading

REVIEW: HIGH TENSION

It may be hard for teens of today to realize that once upon a time horror movies were not feel-good rollercoaster rides of thrills. There was a time when horror films were just as nasty as the killers and monsters they were about – small, grimy films that were looking to put the audience through … Continue reading

REVIEW: LORDS OF DOGTOWN

I have met many people who lament that the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys already covered the first days of skateboarding, so why do we now need a narrative feature version? Besides the fact that almost no one sees documentaries, there’s an important reason for the existence of the new film Lords of Dogtown – it’s … Continue reading
