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 …
Update at end of story. Feels like Jerry Bruckheimer’s law-upholding, shiny bullet poppin’, Silver-riding Lone Ranger project has been simmering for a while (it has… it really has!). The last bit of major news was Johnny “Everyone loves him NOW” Depp’s attachment as Native-American BFF Tonto– of course, that makes me wonder where Wes Studi was when the casting call went out. Dear Wes… I miss you*. So talk about curiosity piqued when the latest humdinger about the project just …
As expected, X-Men Origins: Wolverine took down the pants of all May 1 contenders and paddled their bum-parts with its box office might. Wolverine opened up with pretty much what data showed it was tracking for, roughly $87 million. Not the 100+ million opening seen by its predecessor or even Spider-Man/Pirates of the Caribbean, but not underperforming either– in short, no surprises. From all feedback I’ve noted, the movie is a crowd-pleaser despite its critical loathing, so I won’t begin …
