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

EXCLUSIVE INVINCIBLE PHOTO GALLERY

It sounds like Mark Wahlberg is starring in the sequel to Unbreakable, but that’s not what Invincible is about. Also, Invincible is a Disney movie, and those people are out of the M Night business. No, Invincible is a football movie, and it’s one aimed at agening people like me (33 this year! Jeez) who … Continue reading

A NEW PRISONER

After many others have tried, Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan will attempt to condense the cerebral 17-episode series The Prisoner into a coherent feature film. Some time after he’s done telling the next chapter in the saga of The Dark Knight (which I still say should be titled Batman Persists or Batman Keeps On Keepin’ … Continue reading

SWEET JUMPING JEDI

Even though he got blasted out a skyscraper window by him in what might be the most unintentionally hilarious scene in the Star Wars prequels (and there were a lot of them), Sam Jackson is still on good terms with Hayden Christensen – they’re working together again on Fox’s contemporary sci-fi flick Jumper. Christensen’s involvement … Continue reading

TRAILER: SMOKIN’ ACES

What. The. Hell? Smokin’ Aces is the movie that Narc director Joe Carnahan made after exiting Mission Impossible 3, and thank a god other than Xenu that he did. All I knew was that the flick was a casino crime tale, but I certainly didn’t expect it to resemble Guy Ritchie by way of Road … Continue reading

TRENDSPOTTING… ON THE MOON

His “Trendspotting” pieces just aren’t up to par with the rest of the stuff John Stewart et al produce, even though there has been a steady increase in quality for Martin over the last few months. Maybe … Continue reading

CALLING ALL THIRTEEN YEAR OLD BOYS

I don’t know what the video game Dead or Alive is about (and frankly, if it doesn’t feature you as Dennis Quaid, I don’t care), but I do know that it somehow involves busty girls playing volleyball. The fact that busty pixel girls playing volleyball so thoroughly excites the video game world makes me wonder … Continue reading

HALO WHO? (UPDATED)

***Update***I’ve gotten some emails from some professionals in the flick business that share a common trait: They tell me not to fear for the talent and quality of one Neill Blomkamp. He’s a solid dude they say. I looked at his short film and commercial work and it was very nice, but I still don’t … Continue reading

THE CHUD THINKER 8.10.06

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
