Don’t you hate it when someone comes out of the shower and walks around the house before they dried off? I mean, it’s so rude to leave wet footprints all over the place, plus they drip everywhere. Try sitting on the couch after them. Yuck! This, despite appearances, is not what M Night Shyamalan’s next … Continue reading
I belong to NYFCO, the New York Film Critics Online, and we had our annual awards meeting this past weekend. At the meeting someone nominated Andy Serkis for supporting actor for his work in King Kong. An argument broke out – is the guy really a supporting actor when he’s playing the titular ape? Unless … Continue reading
“The biggest cover up in the history of man.” These words are spoken over an image of Tom Hanks in a wooly hairpiece. Who said trailer editors don’t have a sense of humor? The trailer in question is The DaVinci Code, Sony/Columbia’s big picture for 2006. It’s based on the Dan Brown book, which is … Continue reading
The wait has been maddening! Last year, when Shaun of the Dead hit the US and changed so many lives (including mine. Seriously. The film is one of my all-time favorite movies already), Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, the geniuses behind it, were saying that their next film would be Hot Fuzz, a cop comedy. … Continue reading
Pierce Brosnan may be out of the 007 business, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of the spy world for good. The ex-Bond has signed on to star in The November Man, based on Bill Granger’s novel There Are No Spies, part of his November Man series. What’s it about? Variety says: “Coldly effective but … Continue reading
A title like Fed X is so evocative. To me it says, “FBI agent becomes angry black muslim, hilarity ensues.” To Hugh Jackman and his production company, Seed Production, it says “Lame play on the name of a well known delivery company.” 20th Century Fox has bought the Dario Scardapane spec script for Jackman to … Continue reading
The Sci-Fight was part of a subsection of CHUD way back in the day (around five years ago), when the site’s readership was barely a decimal point of what it’s become. So I figured that when movie-related news is slow, I’ll share a little chunk of history for those who haven’t been with us for … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
A friend came back from Cannes, where he had seen Match Point, Woody Allen’s latest film. He told me it was one of the best films of the year, if just for the scene where Scarlett Johansson is walking in the rain in a white shirt. These two pictures, which I have been told are … Continue reading
King Kong rampages into theaters tonight, and we’re going to be bringing you the rest of our massive coverage the rest of this week. You’ve probably already read the Peter Jackson interview (click here if you haven’t, you naughty thing), today it’s time for the beauty that killed the beast, Naomi Watts. By the way, … Continue reading
