Oh snap! Last week we reported to you a trusted scooper had told us that Laurence Fishburne would be doing the voice of Galactus in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. It turns out that our scooper was half right – Fishburne is doing a voice in the film… but it’s Silver Surfer. This … Continue reading
When it was discovered that the shooter at Virginia Tech was from South Korea, I made a Park Chan-Wook joke to my brother. After all, in his Vengeance Trilogy, the gifted South Korean director never really dealt with completely baseless vengeance, or formless vengeance, which is what Cho Seung-Hui was engaged in when he mowed … Continue reading
So who are you and why are you doing this? Well, my name is Andre Dellamorte, and I’m doing this cause Nick and Devin asked me to. So what makes you think you’re some kind of expert on guessin’ how movies are going to open? Honestly, I don’t think I am. Predicting a film’s box … Continue reading
When Jon Kasdan becomes a successful writer-director (and this seems a fait accompli with those writin’-directin’ genes), he’s going to look back on In the Land of Women and wince – not because it’s bad, but because it is so painfully earnest. The tragicomic tale of struggling screenwriter Carter Webb (Adam Brody) – who flees … Continue reading
I feel like we here at CHUD are on the verge of spamming our love for Hot Fuzz, so I’m going to do my best to keep this brief. But how can we not be ebullient about a movie that meets and exceeds expectations? When a team like Wright, Pegg and Frost go from cool … Continue reading
Last week the MPAA demanded the removal of the trailer for Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake from Yahoo because it was too violent. Now I am getting reports that the MPAA’s internet crackdown has extended to the British horror film, Severance, forcing Magnolia Pictures to change the film’s website. What I understand is that the American … Continue reading
I have to admire Joel Schumacher. I don’t see how anyone could look at the finished cuts of The Number 23, Batman and Robin or 8MM and think, ‘Yeah, that’s the movie I wanted to make.’ And yet he gets right back on the horse every time. One of his next steeds is a young … Continue reading
There’s many things that I can tell you about the upcoming ping-pong comedy Balls of Fury. I can emphasize that Christopher Walken will be hamming it up in a kimono and ridiculous hair. I can remind you that it is yet another The State-affiliated film as it’s directed by Robert Ben-Garant and has Thomas Lennon … Continue reading
For the past few weeks, I’ve been enjoying the Sigourney Weaver-narrated documentary series Planet Earth, which features a variety of rarely or never before seen species and perspectives (and never hesitates to congratulate itself thusly in the voiceover). Even in ole’ regular D – as opposed to HD – it’s breathtaking stuff most of the … Continue reading
"Fame! I’m gonna live forever. I’m gonna learn how to fly… HIGH!" Ok, now that you’ve hopefully got that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day and can share in my misery, let’s get down to business. MGM is footing the bill on a $25 million remake of the beloved 1980s … Continue reading
