The next phase in movies based on Marvel Comics is about to begin. And it might just be a completely mediocre phase. There has been a lot of talk about Marvel and Paramount Pictures getting into bed together, and by the time you’re reading this over your morning coffee, it will be official. The studio … Continue reading

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
Could the years in the wilderness suffered by fans of Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared finally be coming to an end? Judd Apatow, one of the main men behind both those sadly cancelled series, has just had a big success with his first feature, The 40 Year Old Virgin. As we reported earlier, Universal has … Continue reading
Normally I would open this column with some jokes or other, but this month is going to be different. While we’re all planning out our moviegoing for September, many Chewers from three Southern states will probably not be making it to a theater this month. On behalf of all the CHUD.com staff, I want to … Continue reading
There’s been a lot of discussion lately regarding Jessica Alba’s preposterous posterior. Okay, most of the discussion about said posterior has been done by me, but since I’m not allowed to touch or taste or otherwise be involved with it (at least according to my attorney), I’m damn well gonna talk about it.

Nah, I’m kidding. I love you, Bob. And Shane Black’s Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang looks to be just … Continue reading
Wesley Snipes. Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dolph Lundgren. Men whose names once commanded space above the title on posters for theatrical releases… men who are now swiftly clogging shelves with direct-to-video fare. Unfortunately this is the same career trajectory that Christian Slater now faces, especially after Alone in the Dark. From puckish to punchline. From being pursued … Continue reading
Despite the involvement of the Broken Lizard guys, I haven’t bothered to see the Dukes of Hazzard movie yet (Devin was brutally bounced off the General Lee’s hood HERE), but I know it’s made a fair amount of legal tender. Speaking of legal and tender, no doubt part of the movie’s success is due to … Continue reading
It’s already been shooting for a while now, but Tom Cruise’s next international blockbuster Mission: Impossible 3 is still adding players to its main cast. Angular actor Billy Crudup, who is mystifyingly not a major star, has joined the flick, currently being shot by Alias architect JJ Abrams. It’s unknown whether Crudup will be an … Continue reading
