Hi, everyone. I’m Jeremy, and I’m officially a part of CHUD now. Let’s shake hands and come out biting. Ahem. So there’s this lingering misconception popular with males of a certain age group and a certain sexual timidity that Transformers: The Movie (aka The Transformers: The Movie) is an animated classic on par with Fantasia, … Continue reading
Martin Scorsese is in direct competition with Steven Spielberg to be the Guy From the 70s Who Has the Most Projects Percolating At Any One Time. But where Spielberg flirts with and then eventually spurns most of these projects, Marty has been just accumulating them. The latest is The Wolf of Wall Street, an autobiography … Continue reading
Last week I finally got to see Knocked Up, Judd Apatow’s follow-up to The 40-Year Old Virgin (you can read my review here). I’ve been dying to see the movie for some time, and I feel like half the people I have ever met saw it in test screenings or at South by Southwest or … Continue reading

Jet Li has a mean glare, but for a guy who made a name for himself as a legend of hyperspeed fisticuffs, he’s got some portraits that are pure sissy. Every time I see Li allowing enemies to hurl themselves upon his carbide fists of doom, I imagine what he does after the fact. By … Continue reading
This week the internets were alive with the rumor that Emma Watson, the young actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, wouldn’t be coming back for the final two movies. A British tabloid even had her costar, Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasely, saying that she was distant from her co-stars and … Continue reading
In First Snow, Guy Pearce is a traveling salesman who, on a lark, stops at a fortune teller. The psychic gives him three predictions: one about a basketball game, one about business and one about Guy Pearce’s impending death when the first snow comes. When the first two come true, Pearce begins bugging out in … Continue reading

When she first popped up in the 90s, she came off as yet another young actress whose talent and looks seemed to be inversely proportionate.

His contributions to Battlestar Galactica will no doubt continue (thanks to the full 4th season pickup by Sci-Fi), but Olmos isn’t … Continue reading
