Do you know examples of really old trailers (older than Carrie) that give away the whole movie as egregiously as this one does? Drop me an email at devin@chud.com or post it on our message board.

Early this year I went to London to do some New Line set visits. The one for The Golden Compass was, much like the movie, not very good. But the other set I visited was a movie I had never even heard of – Inkheart. In it Brendan Fraser and his cinematical daughter have the … Continue reading
Back in February I told you that Idiocracy was going to be the next great cult classic. Mike Judge’s film, which Fox didn’t fund to completion and then dumped into a handful of theaters, is a withering attack on the inanity of modern life. A completely average guy gets cryogenically frozen and awoken hundreds of … Continue reading
I was feeling rough the morning of the Juno press day here in Los Angeles. It had been a long couple of days and very much a long night; I skipped the food in the hospitality suite and went right for the Starbucks doubleshot espressos and the Red Bull. I was about to start my … Continue reading

They mean that a cycle of horror and death is coming around again; even as the words are spoken, someone is dying. Terribly. Which is as good a way as any to explain how I see the work of … Continue reading

The Scorsese/DiCaprio production has added its first high-profile female cast member: Michelle Williams will be heading to the remote New England locale as the wife of DiCaprio’s … Continue reading
I met Noah Baumbach at the afterparty for the LA premiere of Margot at the Wedding. I hadn’t seen the movie – the theater had been filled to capacity and I had been turned away – but I still introduced myself anyway, like a doofus. Baumbach wasn’t impressed with the guy at his party who … Continue reading
I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but the thought of Gary Winick directing Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson in a comedy about two friends who have it out over conflicting wedding dates makes me kind of happy. Not to hype him up as the next Howard Hawks, bit I thought Winick evinced a shockingly light … Continue reading
