Movie News

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

SEA MONKEYS: THE MOVIE

While writing about this makes me feel almost as foolish as when they announced a Slinky movie (they really did), the fact that someone will make millions from this idea merely leaves me queasy. Empire Pictures and Transcience Corp. are working on an animated feature film starring The Amazing Sea Monkeys, those wee beasties that … Continue reading

UN-MISSED CALL FOR CASTING

As Asian horror goes, One Missed Call was fairly generic, especially considering it came from psychotic director Takashi Miike. One thing in the remake’s favor is director Eric Valette (yeah, a French guy doing an American remake of a Japanese movie), whose last film Malefique was a rather taut little horror accomplishment. Though she’s probably … Continue reading

A SQUARE PEGG IN A ROUND ROLE

It must be sort of depressing to be Simon Pegg, in a way. I mean, while I’m sure he’s delighted with the quantity of projects now being offered to him, let’s face it —  the odds of him continually finding more material as brilliant as Spaced and Shaun of the Dead (and Hot Fuzz, we … Continue reading

TRAILER: THE BLACK DAHLIA

After what seems like a decade in the making, Brian DePalma’s hard-boiled thriller The Black Dahlia is finally making its way to theaters. Let’s hope the lengthy delay is not an indication of the film’s quality (maybe you saw DePalma’s Mission to Mars or Snake Eyes). The movie stars Aaron Eckhart and Josh Hartnett as … Continue reading

DEVIN LIKES BEER

Once again we’ve been sent a clip from G4’s Filter featuring Yours Truly. I wish they would send over a clip with Nick in it, but I just have what they send. I do have all the CHUD appearances on Filter on my TiVo, and if I can ever figure out how to get them … Continue reading

CONSTRUCTICON CRITICISM

Latino Review has scored some pictures from the set of Michael Bay’s Transformers (and for those of you who read that I would be doing a set visit in our first Sewer Chewer newsletter – it got cancelled for logistical reasons. Hopefully it’s being rescheduled), and these pictures seem to indicate that the human police … Continue reading

FROM GHOST RIDER TO GUY RIDER

Nicolas Cage is well-known for doing whatever it takes to get into his parts – he famously ate a live cockroach for Vampire’s Kiss. So how will he get into the role of Liberace, the famously barely closeted piano player? Word is that Cage is looking to play Liberace in a biopic written by the … Continue reading

BRAD IS ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMIN

After a brief respite in Zimbabwe or wherever the hell he and significant other Angelina Jolie decided to download their spawn, chiseled thesp Brad Pitt is finally making a hat trick with his Seven (which I still refuse to write as Se7en, because it’s idiotic and people should stop) and Fight Club director David Fincher. … Continue reading

THE CHUD THINKER 7.27.06

I like to believe regular CHUD readers are reasonably smart — astute enough to have found our site, and masochistic enough to keep returning. We’ve been running the Daily Graboid for nearly a year now to test your movie knowledge, but how about straining that noggin? The CHUD Thinker is a puzzle, rebus, pictogram, visual … Continue reading
