Bill Maher teaming up with Larry Charles (most recently the director of Borat, among many other funny things) for a documentary about world religion is great news for those of us who are not afraid to THINK about faith and God, and not just accept the knee-jerk inane teachings of our parents. The fact that … Continue reading
Naomi Watts. The gal’s pulled down some pretty great performances and projects to slather her resume with– especially Babe: Pig in the City (not to mention Stay and The Ring 2*). My buddy and I always argue about her level of hotness (I’m in the ordinarily lovely camp**- he’s in the "hotness with cute little … Continue reading
We’ve been giving you lots of news lately on Jim Carrey, and most it has been bad as the guy has been struggling to get his film career back on the superstar track. Projects are falling through left and right, and those that he’s actually gotten into production…well, you know the deal. Still, I wish … Continue reading
First off, give it up to James Wan. Not as a writer or director or anything…after all, I can’t stand the Saw movies and I never even bothered with Dead Silence. But with his latest film, Death Sentence, he’s managed to hook me before I have seen a single frame of film. Hell, before I … Continue reading
For a while there, it looked as though 2007 was gearing up to be one of the worst movie years in film history. Typically, a couple of difficult-to-market gems turn up in February or March, but, this year, it was all dross: the studio stuff (Ghost Rider, Wild Hogs, Norbit, Epic Movie, etc.) was wretched … Continue reading
Please send letters. Merle Writes: I was listening to the older CHUD Radio shows (again) and I have to tell you – the one in which you interviewed John Rogers is my favorite. I think it may be fun to bring him back for another interview. The last time he was one was when he … Continue reading

Going through them all proved to be incredibly influential on my development and my life choices; one of the books that really changed me on a serious and deep level was The Tales of Hoffman, a book that presented … Continue reading
I know they’re for kids, but I’ve got nothing left. Nothing. I’m weak from the continual onslaught of flimsy YA fiction adaptations being optioned, filmed, trailered and jammed into theaters under the marketing-centric trappings of "beloved" and "magical". And yet- here comes Savvy.You may have already guessed the production company (Walden). You inevitably know the … Continue reading
If there’s one rule destined to piss off the lonely it’s this: It’s not what you know- it’s who you know. Ah, Cronyism– The universal truth. And that’s a good thing for Charlize Theron because without knowing herself, she may never have been hired to star in The Burning Plain, the upcoming film she’s Executive … Continue reading
You probably know how much I love Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, so it should come as no surprise that I am psyched to hear that there’s some chatter of a sequel happening. Obviously the movie, which was Anchor Bay’s first theatrical release, didn’t burn up the box office, but I’m hearing … Continue reading
