We're a hotheaded group of individuals. We crave a pull quote like anyone else, but it's not about that. It's only about you the reader. We love you. We want to take you home and cuddle with you. The following reviews are the opinions of the editors of CHUD.com and are by most accounts bang on.

The Ex feels like a sitcom. There’s a wacky workplace filled with kookie characters. There’s the heartwarming but stressful home life. There’s a zany neighbor kid who brings the cute but also a little bit of safe edge. And it stars Zach Braff and Jason… Continue reading
Disasters bring out the best and the worst in people. You can step up to the moment and be a Hero, the guy who helps the crippled lady down the burning staircase. Or you can be the Villain, the guy who muscles women and children out of the lifeboat. In this… Continue reading
Earl Dittman wins. He gets his name (even in small print) associated with a massive marketing push and we just get another lousy blockbuster. I'll spend the next few hundred words explaining eactly why, but for the people who just read the first paragraph and… Continue reading
(I'd like to preface this review by imploring you to see Spider-Man 3 on IMAX if the option is available to you. I'm now of the opinion that these big studio event films are made for the biggest screen imaginable; they are sensory assaults first and stories… Continue reading
The small moral choices are the ones that fascinate me the most, because they’re the ones we all make. We don’t spend our time worrying about robbing a bank or murdering a spouse, but we do think about picking up that ten you saw fall from someone’s wallet or… Continue reading

There’s something so 1998 about a courtroom movie that hosts a supposed battle of wits between a crafty psychopath and an out-of-his-league-yet-still-somehow-capable young hotshot attorney. And the people bringing you Fracture have no problem with that.… Continue reading
There are some pretty gnarly sights in Johnny To's Election (most of 'em arrive in the massively disturbing final reel), but nothing in that complex, yet streamlined depiction of gangland politics could possibly prepare the viewer for the unthinkably… Continue reading
When Jon Kasdan becomes a successful writer-director (and this seems a fait accompli with those writin'-directin' genes), he's going to look back on In the Land of Women and wince – not because it's bad, but because it is so painfully earnest. The tragicomic… Continue reading
I feel like we here at CHUD are on the verge of spamming our love for Hot Fuzz, so I'm going to do my best to keep this brief. But how can we not be ebullient about a movie that meets and exceeds expectations? When a team like Wright, Pegg and Frost go from… Continue reading
Midway through the regionally produced good-ol'-boy romp, Redneck Miller, the titular character – a hotshot DJ in some random Carolina municipality where "hotshot" bona fides are easy to come by provided one still has a functional tooth or two – breaks up the… Continue reading
