PIXAR SOUNDS GOOD

I’d wager that a significant portion of the world’s population could, with a mere second or two of audio, be able to correctly identify a Corellian blaster or a lightsaber igniting or a TIE Fighter roaring through space. You can thankk soundd designerr Ben… Continue reading →

CLONE WARS STRIKE ONLINE

I didn’t catch any of the first Star Wars: Clone Wars animated shorts on the Cartoon Network, opting instead to wait for the eventual DVD release, and I’m glad I did because getting them in one somewhat cohesive package was a great way to see them.… Continue reading →

TRAILER: THE ISLAND

I guess I’m the closest thing CHUD has to the resident Michael Bay apologist. Devin unwaveringly supports Woody Allen, Nick is relentless in defending the collected works of Craig R. Baxley, and I’ll stand by Bay’s aggressively energetic movies as the… Continue reading →

INTERVIEW: PENELOPE CRUZ

I bet you clicked on this Penelope Cruz interview thinking it would be a preview of her upcoming big budget Hollywood action/adventure Sahara. Well, nyah nyah, now you have to read about a foreign art film. Okay, I got in a couple Sahara questions too, but… Continue reading →

INTERVIEW: THE ROCK

Not many tough guys would be so comfortable poking fun at their personas, but The Rock goes all out. In Be Cool, he lets himself get beaten up, he plays his trademark eyebrow gesture as a ridiculous mockery, and he plays gay. He commits to it with no fear,… Continue reading →

INTERVIEW: JOAN ALLEN

We don’t usually get to see Joan Allen in a starring role. There’s only really been The Contender. Otherwise it’s been supporting roles in films like The Notebook, The Bourne Supremacy and Face/Off. Even big roles in Pleasantville and The Ice Storm cast her… Continue reading →

TRAILER: INTO THE BLUE

In the big-budget MGM flick Into the Blue, vacant fast-and-furious prettyboy Paul Walker and his gal, the dangerously hot Jessica Alba, play a pair of undersea divers (but doesn’t wood float?) who find a sunken ship full of valuable goodies. On the nearby… Continue reading →
