We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

IS BOND IN HER BLACK BOOK?

If you’re a young, beautiful actress and you’re not being rumored as the next Bond girl, fire your agent. Just like with Casino Royale, it feels as though someone is going through IMDB and just bringing up the names of actresses as possible leads in the next, still untitled, Bond movie. One name that has … Continue reading

BLADE RUNNER: NOW MORE DIGITAL

See what I get for not checking daily on Joanna Cassidy’s website? A number of sites (1, 2) are reporting on Blade Runner reshoots, based on a post at said location. Specifically: Joanna has just finished re-shooting her scenes from the original BLADE RUNNER movie. Joanna is wearing her original outfit (which she kept over … Continue reading

LANGELLA/NIXON

Opie Cunningham, director of the greatest film ever made starring Matthew McConaughey and Jenna Elfman (EDtv), has done the prudent thing and cast Frank Langella to reprise his role as former President Richard M. Nixon in his big screen adaptation of Nixon/Frost, a new play by Peter Morgan currently wowing audiences on Broadway (starring Langella … Continue reading

VIRAL VADER

My interest in Star Wars has waned to the point of Star Trek, (yeah, I said it- what!) but damned if I don’t revisit the universe that George built and blew up when anything Star Wars-ey rolls into town, so this week has seen more Star Wars on my computer than the past two years … Continue reading

KAREY IS SO VERY…

Despite the goodwill garnered (and promptly, I humbly submit, pissed away) by Eddie Murphy in his excellent turn as James "Thunder" Early, the once red-leathered king of comedy continues to join forces with the powers of lowest common denominator in potentially flaccid family fare*. While that last line illustrates a sad propensity for a weakness … Continue reading

DOOMSDAY FOR A DROOG

Context makes all the difference in the world. If, for example, the director of The Descent approached Seymour Cassel and said ‘I need a leathery old gentleman,’ a soft rustling of cloth would be followed by the same view of a reproductive organ you used to consult banned library books to find. But if he … Continue reading

DAUGHTER OF PAN

The job of newswriting for CHUD is nothing if not taxing on your general pop culture/geek culture breadth of knowledge. Personally, I get kind of bummed when I read that a film is based on something from a “noted” or “acclaimed” author, and I know next to nothing about the person. So while I can … Continue reading

HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE?

If the 1953 film How to Marry a Millionaire is to be believed, all a golddigger (watch out!) has to do is have the luck of being nearsighted or presumptive. How not to marry a millionaire is a little more complicated when you have to do things like enter as a contestant on a reality … Continue reading
