I reached out to some of the great local journalists to pitch in, and so we’re able to bring you coverage of both The Island and Bad News Bears. When actress Scarlett Johansson … Continue reading

After many years on the edges of the avant, Cronenberg has seemingly returned to more popular territory with this film, in which the owner of a diner kills a man in self defense, attracting the unwanted attention of two … Continue reading

This year’s San Diego ComicCon (Comic Con? Comicon? ComiCon? It’s all this and more)was a huge, immense, busy, fun, drunken, troublemaking event for the CHUD.com crew.
