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

WHO WILL BANG BOND?

Just when we finally got over the national trauma of the Bond-hunt, Sony is beginning a new casting call, looking for the next Bond girl. Casino Royale, the Bond prequel that has Dame Judi Dench playing a character who was introduced a dozen or so films into the series that was played by other people … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 1.11.06

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading

PEEK INTO PAN’S LABYRINTH

It’s no secret that we at CHUD.com like Guillermo del Toro. It’s no secret that Nick is friends with the guy. But I have to say that all of that goes out the window when it comes to talking about his movies. I wouldn’t write anything about his films if I didn’t feel I could … Continue reading

CHECKING BACK INTO THE HOSTEL

Did you go see Hostel this weekend thinking it was directed by Quentin Tarantino? I have heard some anecdotal evidence about this happening, but as always, anecdotal evidence is slightly more reliable than scrotal evidence. IE, it ain’t. For whatever reason, people did go see Hostel over the weekend, making it the number one film … Continue reading

TRAILER: HARD CANDY

Rather than focus on all the positive things the internet can be used for (downloading illegal music, multiplayer gaming mayhem, driving directions, porn… probably some other stuff), Lionsgate’s thriller Hard Candy instead concentrates on a disturbing and increasingly real trend. The movie follows a lecherous thirtysomething photographer with reprehensible intentions who uses the internet to … Continue reading

ROSARIO DAWSON IS HOT

Actress Rosario Dawson might just be perfect: she’s beautiful and multitalented and otherwise gifted (by which I mean she has an extraordinary rack), and she breathed healthy life into a character from the pages of Frank Miller’s comic book Sin City. But if her turn as warrior-whore Gail wasn’t enough to satisfy comic geeks, this … Continue reading

TRAILER: CLERKS 2

Rather than broaden his filmmaking skills beyond people standing around reciting overwritten dialogue, writer-director Kevin Smith has literally gone back to where he started with Clerks 2. The sequel (which I pray has dropped the idiotic subtitle The Passion of the Clerks) picks up ten puffy years later, with strip mall employees Dante and Randal … Continue reading
