It's my great, great pleasure to announce that Greencine Daily's David Hudson will be joining us here at IFC.com starting January 1st. He'll continue blogging just as he has been the past five years, inexhaustibly collecting and linking to everything worth knowing in the world of film news.

I'll be continuing in what's become, lately, more of an editor role -- we'll be expanding and building on our regular film-related editorial content in the... MORE »

The shiny new third season of Joe Swanberg's "Young American Bodies" will also be premiering on IFC.com starting next week — here's a promo. [Photo: "Wilfred," IFC, 2007] + Wilfred (IFC)... MORE »
