I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
Cameron Crowe’s new movie, Elizabethtown, is like the shambolic southern rock that fills its soundtrack. Like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird (now used twice to great effect this year), the film is too long, peaks too early and is really sort of all over the place. Which is why I loved it. Orlando Bloom is Drew, … Continue reading
Atlanta folks, our illustrious Boston editor Dave Davis is here in town and in a short while our New York firebrand ("I’m a fire cracker, get it?") Devin Faraci will be arriving this afternoon. Their presence in town plus the fact we haven’t had a coffee meeting in some time tells me it’s high time … Continue reading

The film stars It Girl Keira Knightley as the titular bounty hunter, and a … Continue reading
You may remember that last month CHUD.com brought you the world breaking scoop that Danny Elfman and Sam Raimi had a major falling out, and that Elfman wouldn’t work on Spider-Man 3 – or any other future Raimi projects. I followed up on that with Bruce Campbell, who was surprised to learn about the rift, … Continue reading

Here’s what I was surprised by as I read through all the email I have received since the second weekend of Joss Whedon’s Serenity and my latest editorial on it – I have gotten hundreds of emails from people saying they’re self-identified Browncoats but that these evangelists scare the hell out of them too. I … Continue reading
You may remember reading something recently about the fracas surrounding Atom Egoyan’s new film, Where the Truth Lies. The movie earned itself an NC-17, thanks to a three-way sex scene between Colin Firth, Kevin Bacon and Rachel Blanchard. In the end the decision was made to release the film unrated rather than accept the MPAA’s … Continue reading
