Last weekend I intended to get a hold of Jersey Girl and figure out just what the heck happened to Kevin Smith. I didn't get a chance, but I still want to work on this dilemma – I mean, this guy was one of the faces of indie filmmaking, he was one of the… Continue reading
The remake of John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 opens with a jittery, wired undercover sting gone wrong. Ethan Hawke, all too convincing as a junkie, is leading two cops in an effort to take out some Serbian mobsters, but it all goes to hell, as your… Continue reading
Dodgeball was an enjoyable film. It was funny enough, and actually had a couple of really great jokes – I'm partial to ESPN 8 – The Ocho. But does it need a sequel? Fox thinks so. At least that's the word from a scooper to Coming Soon!, a guy who goes by the… Continue reading
As the Harry Potter films get farther into the book series, the filmmakers are presented with the challenge of condensing hundreds upon hundreds of pages into a two hour movie. Daniel Handler’s Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events presents the… Continue reading
Nick's review. Following up a film that seems to be aging slowly into a bona fide classic, a film that may well be considered your masterpiece, must be daunting at best. So how do you do it? If you’re Wes Anderson it seems that you make an action movie. A Wes… Continue reading
Here's my thesis: J Michael Straczynski has the power of hypnosis. I can't imagine how else people think he's such hot shit, frankly. The guy's not awful, but he's not great. I mean, his Amazing Spider-Man comics are being treated like they came down from the… Continue reading
I don't know if Steven Spielberg is going for some kind of Guiness record for Biggest Blockbuster Turned Around In Shortest Amount of Time, but his new version of War of the Worlds is coming damn soon. The movie came together this summer and will be out next… Continue reading
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… 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… 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… 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.… 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… Continue reading
