Let’s get this out of the way: Jessica Biel is completely and amazingly hot in person. Just gorgeous. Poke your eyes out sexy. It turns out she’s also really nice and funny. And a little bit weird. That’s rare with the pretty girls I have interviewed – they tend to be a little vapid, or … Continue reading
Let’s be honest, fans of hairy shapeshifters are not exactly inundated with quality werewolf movies. Ever since David Naughton became a hungry canine in American Werewolf in London, the only decent werewolf flicks have been low-budget entries that skulked in under the radar like Dog Soldiers and Gingers Snaps (and Wes Craven’s appropriately titled Cursed … Continue reading
While I was away in Berlin the Independent Spirit Award nominations were announced. These are the kinds of films that you’ll often find me slobbering over here on the site, and this year’s nominees are a list of exactly some of the films that have me saying that 2004 is, pound for pound, one of … Continue reading
I’ll put it as simply as possible: if you’ve grown weary of all the exaggerated high-flying wire-fu and rubbery digital foolishness in action movies and just want to see old-school fighting and stuntmen being brutally punished in increasingly unnatural ways, you need to see the bone-crushing Thai martial arts flick Ong Bak. Star Tony Jaa … Continue reading
Notes on SIGNS – Possibly my favorite of the spoofs. I love the way Lewis draws aliens (readers of our old Dead Squirrel Magazine can attest) and I think a film so homey and small is harder to do that ones with stuff that allows for broad comedy. Plus, I think this is a perfect … Continue reading
Notes on X2 – This turned out to be harder to spoof than we thought. First of all, it’s a really good movie and secondly… we didn’t want to have to cater too much to hardcore fans. I think that this is probably the most disjointed of our strips, probably because we bumped right up … Continue reading
We are creeping towards the 100th Steady Leak article and I need your help in making it a special one. CLICK HERE to read up on what I have cooking and see if you have any ideas on how to make it better. Additionally, I’ve announced that we’ll be starting a daily comic strip (mon-fri … Continue reading
Dear CHUD readers, this could well be one of the last times I update this site (stop cheering). This weekend I am flying to Berlin (the one in Germany) to visit the set of the feature film adaptation of Aeon Flux. I fear flying like a worm fears the early bird, and this will be … Continue reading
If you want to see a Harold and Kumar 2: Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam (where else?), you better buy the DVD. That’s going to be the deciding factor on a sequel, says director Danny Leiner. "That is the plan. The writers were hired to write that sequel. And I think it’s going to … Continue reading
I count myself as a strident Aaron Eckhart partisan, and I wince when I look back at some of the roles he has taken in recent years. Suspect Zero alone is enough to give you the stigmata. In fact, a look at his CV (how British of me!) reveals that the guy hasn’t been in … Continue reading
