For all the complaining I have been doing about Star Trek XI (you know: bad cast, stupid plot, directed by a guy who who is suited for 32 inch screens), I have to give the movie some credit. They’ve included Orion Slave Girls. These green skinned babes appeared in original Star Trek episodes like The … Continue reading →
French movie magazine CineLive has a very clear, well lit photo of the newest iteration of the Batman suit from The Dark Knight and I have to wonder if the film isn’t going to be a Transformers crossover. Why is the suit so busy? And what’s happened to the batsymbol? The symbol is completely lost … Continue reading →
I’m incredibly happy to see the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the New York City Film Critics Online go for Paul Thomas Anderson’s unremittingly bleak There Will Be Blood as the Best Picture of 2007, but the last time the former group concurred with the Oscars for the top prize was in 1993 with … Continue reading →
Do you know examples of really old trailers (older than Carrie) that give away the whole movie as egregiously as this one does? Drop me an email at devin@chud.com or post it on our message board.

Early this year I went to London to do some New Line set visits. The one for The Golden Compass was, much like the movie, not very good. But the other set I visited was a movie I had never even heard of – Inkheart. In it Brendan Fraser and his cinematical daughter have the … Continue reading →
Back in February I told you that Idiocracy was going to be the next great cult classic. Mike Judge’s film, which Fox didn’t fund to completion and then dumped into a handful of theaters, is a withering attack on the inanity of modern life. A completely average guy gets cryogenically frozen and awoken hundreds of … Continue reading →
People say to me, “Dellamorte (or Andre, or Dre, for that matter), you’re so good at predicting box office, are you a God?”The short answer is no. The long answer involves my lineage, and that involves being born in the outskirts of Poland, and learning English through television. But… if I was a god, like … Continue reading →
“It is happening again.” Those words, spoken by the giant in Twin Peaks, are fucking ominous. They mean that a cycle of horror and death is coming around again; even as the words are spoken, someone is dying. Terribly. Which is as good a way as any to explain how I see the work of … Continue reading →
I’m not sure what I can do to break the string of Shutter Island articles featuring lame title metaphors, so I’m just going to stop thinking about it. The Scorsese/DiCaprio production has added its first high-profile female cast member: Michelle Williams will be heading to the remote New England locale as the wife of DiCaprio’s … Continue reading →
