Yawn. So MTV just announced the nominees for its largely pathetic annual movie marketing awards show. No big surprise here – “Twilight” racked up seven nominations, including Best Actress Who Really is a Huge Pothead and Shiny Skin My Butt Award (also known as the OMG! You Pasty Bastard! Award). I kid, of course, but really, that’s about how credible MTV’s golden popcorn trophies are in the realm of cinema. The only thing remotely good about the MTV Movie Awards …

“My Sister’s Keeper” hits theaters on June 26th and I’m a little ashamed to admit I completely missed this release while writing my Summer Movie Preview. I’m intrigued to say the least, but also befuddled at the absolute lack of vision on the part of the studio. Really, New Line Cinema – this is a summer release? You’re telling me a drama about a genetically engineered little girl who sues her parents in order to gain control over her body, …
We keep saying it, but that’s only because it’s true: May is unleashing a whirlwind of cinematic fury– intent on booking your Fridays, bank account and eyeballs all month long. Between Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons, Terminator: Salvation and Up, May has a lineup hard-pressed to be reckoned with. As Up is at the tail-end of the month and the general public doesn’t know much about it beyond a boy scout, an old codger and a sky full of …
We have Google Analytics installed on Andy at The Movies.com and it lets us know how many people are visiting the site, where they come from and whether or not we’re interesting enough to make them stick around. At this point, it would seem you like us. You really like us. But I didn’t come here today to drop ridiculously inept Sally Field Oscar speech nibblets in your swarthy beard. No, I came to share with you the horror of …
I can’t add a thing. This Inglorious Basterds poster speaks untold volumes of misspelled truth.
Last Friday, on KVNUs movie show, we briefly discussed this weekend’s big opener Star Trek and it’s universally glowing reviews. Promising stuff. If you’re interested in learning a little more about the writing development behind Star Trek reboot, movie website extraordinaire Ain’t It Cool News has posted an interview where Mr. Beaks (aka- one-time fellow CHUD writer Jeremy Smith– a good guy and a gooder interviewer) talks to Star Trek screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Krutzman. They discuss the weight …
If you’re not up to speed on all your Transformers robots, that’s ok. Michael Bay has been real elusive in letting slip who’s in and who’s out for his upcoming Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. There’s been leaks galore and a trailer to boot, but how can you really know? Well, you can get a better idea thanks to the GB eye LTC. poster company, who are selling Transformers for a bedroom wall near you. For your viewing pleasure, we’ve …
So here’s the question. If Disneyland recently ripped out their 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride and replaced it with Finding Nemo, what happens if McG’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea remake is a hit? Ok, so no one cares and the question served no other point than to give me a lead-in to share news that Dwayne “The Rock is no longer cookin'” Johnson is apparently on board the remake as the Captain Nemo. Dwayne Johnson, he of the …
