THE BEST DOCUMENTARIES OF 2006

The world is changing for documentaries. In the past, not only would the ten best documentaries of any given year have been dry and probably quite boring, most of the people who read CHUD would have no chance to see them. Now docs have gone mainstream – they play all over the country, and DVDs … Continue reading

THE WORST OF 2006 (NICK’S TAKE)

The films I didn’t see that are sure to be dire are many, but it’s hard to berate them having not seen them. Face-crushing efforts I chose to not see this year include: Ice Age: The Meltdown, Click, Scary Movie 4, Failure to Launch, The Pink Panther, The Santa Clause 3, Saw III, Naco Libre, … Continue reading

THE WORST OF 2006 (DEVIN’S TAKE)

Even moreso than “Best of” lists, “Worst of” lists are highly subjective. Some people would expect a “Worst of” list to contain something like The Marine, but why would it? It seems to me that the worst movies of the year aren’t the ones that were never intended to be any good, but rather the … Continue reading

Fox had originally decided not to show us the Surfer until after the teaser trailer hit tomorrow because they wanted our first look at him to be … Continue reading

You’re going to keep waiting. In an interview with The Independent, Cameron has confirmed that Avatar is going to take a very long time. … Continue reading

AN EMPIRE OF FUZZ

Empire Online has a whole new gallery of images from Hot Fuzz, your favorite comedy of the new year. While looking through the images – which include everything from action shots to behind the scenes clowning – I came upon the one above and decided this was the picture to share with my CHUD faithful. … Continue reading

TEASERHOUSE

As much as I liked yesterday’s teaser trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers, the title of “Week’s Best Teaser” has been quickly transferred to Grindhouse, the anthology effort from best buds Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Click here to see it.The teaser seems a little heavier on Planet Terror, Rodriguez’ zombie film, but that’s probably just … Continue reading
