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

PASS THE PEASE

Jason Schwartzman has never been someone I’ve paid attention to one way or the other. The best way I can describe the guy is chicken broth. By that, I mean, he’s a good person for other people to play off of and he’s reliably consistent. But if people rave or complain about something you make … Continue reading

EYE DREAM OF ALBA

Way back in 2002, when Paula Wagner and Tom Cruise could do no wrong and were cuddling and snuggling with Paramount, the two worked out a deal to buy the remake rights to the Chinese horror film, The Eye. Now that it’s the morning after, Lionsgate received the studio handoff and will be releasing the … Continue reading

MCP: GAMING NEWS ROUNDUP – 2.2.07

Castlevania fever is in the air. Actually, it’s more like a mild trend toward Castlevania-like symptoms, but whatever. Portrait of Ruin came out recently for the DS, Symphony of the Night is expected before the heat-death of the universe on Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade, and now Sony’s getting their mucus membranes exposed. Castlevania: Dracula X … Continue reading

FACE THE MUSIC

As the second Batman film inches closer to production, casting rumors are intensifying for the juiciest of the new characters, particularly current-friend-of-Bruce/future-foe of Bats Harvey “Two-Face” Dent. Both Eion Bailey and Jamie Foxx’s names have been mentioned for the role, but a new name seems to have drifted to the front of the line. The … Continue reading

YOU ARE ALL CORDDRY-IALLY INVITED

Will Ferrell’s upcoming New Line comedy Semi-Pro seems to add comics like Tyra Banks is adding pounds. Today, the cast grew just a little bit bigger with the addition of Rob Corddry of The Daily Show fame. Interestingly enough and much like this week’s other notable addition, Will Arnett, Corddry is getting a dry run … Continue reading

SPARKS FLY BETWEEN LANE AND GERE

The last time Richard Gere and Diane Lane met, Gere was thumping some sensitive, wife-porking sissy on the head with a snow globe. That philandering bastard will think twice before he shows Gere’s wife the way of the French love machine again. Well, you know– if he wasn’t dead.My, my, my how the tables have … Continue reading

ANGEL-A’COMING

When I pull out my dusty DVD copies of The Professional (fairly often) and Subway (not so often) I feel like I’m falling back in time. There’s a whole generation of CHUD readers who aren’t old enough to remember when Luc Besson directed movies instead of just producing, writing and buying them. I barely remember … Continue reading

HARRY POTTER’S END

Now I have a new date I must survive until – July 21, 2007. That’s the day when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is released into stores – the seventh and final Harry Potter novel. Thankfully this is a week before San Diego Comic Con – you try getting a Harry Potter book in … Continue reading

WALDEN WANTS TO SCREW YOU

Walden media, home of one hit wonder Narnia (not for long- Prince Caspian hits this year) and wholesome family underperformers (Charlotte’s Web, How to Eat Fried Worms and, possibly, Bridge to Tarabithia) is going back to its Christian moneymaker by announcing its next project: C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. If you thought Narnia was a … Continue reading
