Just about the only constant with the undead: they always need killin’. Scotsman Gerard Butler feels he’s the right guy for that kind of job, so he’s slipping into the sixguns and, um, holy garments for the Screen Gems vampire western Priest. The movie is based on the Tokyopop graphic novel series by Min-Woo Hyung, … Continue reading

UPDATE: This is tonight! Like you’ve got anything better to do anyway! As you might’ve seen us mention around here, the creators of CHUD fave Shaun of the Dead started with an equally ingenious UK television series called Spaced, about an aspiring comic artist (Shaun himself Simon Pegg) and a writer (series co-scribe Jessica Stevenson) … Continue reading
Summers are now incomplete without at least one superhero movie, and Marvel is hoping Shell-head is as popular as Web-head. They’ve already slotted their upcoming Iron Man movie into the May 2nd weekend in 2008, the exact same spot Spider-Man 3 will swinging next year. There are still financing complications and the recent exit of Marvel … Continue reading

Here’s something nifty, particularly for readers of my sporadic Underground column: an independent sci-fi short film with some rather snazzy looking homebrewed special effects and obvious talent on display. It’s called The Ore, and is made by a guy who not only knows his stuff and this site, but someone whose work I’ve previously given … Continue reading
Give me 500cc of independent movies, stat! Ah. Okay, I feel a little better now. I know in the last edition of this column back in, um… April, I said I was going to be a little more regular with the Underground, but best intentions and all that. I do still have a few movies … Continue reading
