I had to stop and take a few breaths before writing this article, because every paragraph I read in the source story just screamed wrong, wrong, WRONG. Where’s that Kevin Spacey .gif? The basics: as we’ve reported before, Bill Pullman is playing a sorta, kinda version of Philip K Dick in the unauthorized biopic Your … Continue reading
Back in August CHUD.com brought you the news that the Frank Herbert estate believed they were close to launching a new Dune film. The details were scarce, and we didn’t even know what studio or what filmmaker really wanted the rights to the book. Now Aint It Cool has a scooper who thinks they know … Continue reading
Lionsgate is a weird company. They produce lots and lots of junk – War, Midnight Meat Train, Saw IV – but they also distribute movies like Francis Ford Coppola’s Youth Without Youth and they brought Paul Haggis’ Crash to an Oscar win. They’re a schizophrenic company, making their rent by making awful genre pictures, but … Continue reading
Fresh from his exhausting stint doing not a goddamn thing for the past decade (does The Good Shepherd count?)

Eli Roth is probably feeling the sting, too, given that Thanksgiving was the best thing he’s ever made. That’s likely part of the reason he’s going ahead with Trailer Trash, which will hit … Continue reading

Last week I brought you my thoughts about the twenty minutes of footage from Walk Hard that Sony showed an assemblage of journalists. After the footage was shown, producer Judd Apatow, director Jake Kasdan and star John C Reilly, who was on his lunch break from filming the Adam McKay directed, Will Ferrell co-starring Step … Continue reading
As a former fan of The O.C. who was so charmed by Season One that he stayed with it all the way through its dreadful, and mercifully final, Season Four, I have to admit that the idea of Adam Brody (aka nerdtagonist extraordinaire Seth Cohen) playing The Flash kinda works for me – i.e. provided … Continue reading
This review includes major spoilers for the ending of Into the Wild, although they won’t be spoilers for anyone familiar with the story of Christopher McCandless. For many people the death of Christopher McCandless is a chance to be condescending, or even worse feel superior as they sit on their asses and take no chances … Continue reading
