I hope you're as into the amazing-yet-predictably-stylized art of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola as much as I am (did you rent Disney's Atlantis just to see his production designs in the special features?) because then you'll be excited that Guillermo del Toro has revealed he'll ... / Continue →

Don't be a chump! Why wait for the new domestic trailer for Harry Potter when you can watch this Japanese version right now? Maybe because it has Japanese narration, glowing Japanese subtitles, and that annoying little picture-in-picture thing so ubiquitous in Japanese televisi... / Continue →

John Malkovich in the story of a once-famous magician's return to glory would be a no-brainer must-see in the hands of someone like the Coen Brothers--and how did they not make that already?--but instead the offering comes from writer/director Sean McGinly, a man whose resumé c... / Continue →

Cinematical has debuted the poster for the Fatal Attraction/The Temp/Probably Several TV Movies knock-off, Obsessed. If I were this translucent, near-shadowless, obsessed temp worker, I'd be fearing the wrath of Beyoncé. You can tell when Beyoncé is about to attack when she has... / Continue →

Borders has posted a new trailer for Coraline in which author Neil Gaiman discusses the obscure affliction of koumpounophobia--the fear of buttons. So really, more than a trailer, it's like an episode of Maury Povich.... / Continue →

Tom and Jerry just aren't real enough, you know? It's always been an issue for me that the cartoon, which contains so much inane, comic violence that it's basically the definition of a cartoon, is limited to the world of cel animation. Like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Underdog, Ga... / Continue →

E! Online is reporting that Dakota Fanning is in negotiations to star alongside Robert Pattinson (vampire) and Kristen Stewart (human) in New Moon (that's the Twilight sequel, for those of you who don't READ teen girl vampire romance): I can exclusively report that the 14-year... / Continue →

No matter the circumstances, old guys love watering their lawn. It's just something that comes with retirement boredom and nascent senility. The next poster will probably be the old guy scattering hard candy. 'Up' Stills [Yahoo!]... / Continue →

The Oscar nominations have arrived! You've been wondering what 2008 movies had the best sound editing, and I've got the answer. You've been thinking The Dark Knight and WALL-E were two of the best movies of last year, and I can tell you they weren't. You figured, "Well, Charlie... / Continue →

What's with homicidal maniacs writing things in blood so much lately? (I'm looking at you, Joker and Miner Guy.) When writing on walls with feces become passé? Maybe it's less gruesome, but smeared shit will always be much crazier and more frightening in my book (The Book of Hu... / Continue →

Watchmen is really upping the quality of these viral marketing schemes. Those Dark Knight viral sites like, the Joker's defaced version of The Gotham Times, The Ha Ha Ha Times, were fun but left lingering questions about why a criminal psychopath would spend so much time on dec... / Continue →

Judd Apatow is producing a slasher film? YES. I wouldn't make such an sophisticated, detailed graphic if that weren't the case. CHUD ran into Bill Hader at Sundance, where the SNL star revealed he and Simon Rich have written a horror/comedy that they aren't sure will ever get m... / Continue →

Michael Cera has finally spilled the beans on the Arrested Development movie! Speaking to MTV, the actor revealed... he hasn't seen a script, think it's “more hypothetical than people think,” and seems pretty annoyed that he keeps getting pestered about it, which is not at all ... / Continue →

Oh man. I hope you haven't made your post-watching-2012 Olive Garden reservations yet, because we're going to have to wait until November to see Roland Emmerich's the-world-is-ending-in-three-years! movie. From Variety: Sony is pushing back the release of Roland Emmerich's act... / Continue →

What are they waiting for on the poster where the Street Fighter characters are literally jumping out of the arcade console to the delighted surprise of a pair of 14-year-old video game players? They have to know that's what we want. Or at least what I want. Street Fighter: Th... / Continue →

It's The Horsemen! It's like Seven, but instead of focusing on the Seven Sins it's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! And the whole thing seems to be masterminded by Zhang Ziyi? Also starring: Dennis Quaid as Detective and Cheryl's Dad from Curb as Priest. Here's the trailer:... / Continue →

Chrysler has received $4 billion in U.S. government aid, and gosh that's a lot of money. What are they going to spend it on? Keeping their workforces paid during these hard times? Oil for their robot builders? Making sure Christian Bale drives around in a Chrysler truck during ... / Continue →

Director Prachya Pinkaew and martial arts choreographer Panna Rittikrai, the duo that worked out how Tony Jaa violently destroyed people in Ong-Bak, have a new film coming out in the U.S. on Valentine's Day! I know you'll all be busy kissing, but if you can take a short break t... / Continue →

If Edgar Wright writing and directing the film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim isn't enough to get you into this thing, how about this cast, eh? Cera is going to have to fight Superman and the Human Torch!: "Pilgrim" centers on young slacker Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), who meets... / Continue →

In this video, Talkshow with Spike Feresten puts forth the case that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button isn't so much "curious" as "Forrest Gump-esque". They might be on to something:... / Continue →

There's been a lot of talk about if Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire, or Kirsten Dunst are returning for Spider-Man 4. Let's not even sweat them, everyone. Raimi fell apart a bit by the third film, Maguire had a mixed reception, and come on, Kirsten Dunst? The real guy we should be wor... / Continue →

Our best movies this previous weekend were: 1. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $31.8 million. So that's why everyone was giving me friendly waves at my night job... 2. Gran Torino - $22 million, still astounding for a movie marketed entirely on scowling, finger guns, and a few actual ... / Continue →

I'll accept that someone has seen fit to simplify every superhero/villain costume in this universe down to either a sleeveless shirt or trenchcoat, but what is with this forced mournfulness? The best way to show a movie has the dark, brooding quality of The Dark Knight isn't ne... / Continue →

Maybe the voice of Lt. Frank Drebin repeating the words "500 days of" is having a hypnotizing effect on me, but I think this trailer for 500 Days of Summer makes it look like just the kind of movie I want to sob over after a heart-wrenching break-up. Right after she gives me ba... / Continue →

THR is reporting Keanu Reeves is attached to play bounty hunter Spike Spiegel, in Fox's live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. This might be considered "bad" news, considering that Reeves is in his mid-40s (the character is 27) and is not a good actor: wentieth Century Fox is... / Continue →
