DESTROY ALL MOVIEGOERS!

Master Chief, see what your script-parading has done? Now, I liked Destroy All Humans!… as a rental. It was a fun game but one that got repetitive VERY quickly. It was basically State of Emergency (minus being awful) but with an infintely more charming ’50s sci-fi appeal. That’s probably the best thing going for it, … Continue reading

CONTEST: PROZAC NATION

Another contest? You’re damn right! We got the shit and we LOVE flinging it… figuratively speaking, of course. Though I’ve not had the chance to sink my teeth into Prozac Nation, I’ve heard lots of good things regarding Christina Ricci’s performance (and mammaries). Roger Ebert even says it on the cover! Lucky for you folks, … Continue reading

WHERE ARE MY CHUDSTORIES?!

It’s been nearly a month since our last CHUDstories installment (Andrew Clarke’s Box), but we are revving back up and getting set to start delivering more of your awesome prose to the lovely and eclectic CHUD readership. Here are a few words from our story editor (and Bastard connoisseur), … Continue reading

WEINSTEINS & WARNERS: COWABUNGA, DUDE!

Earlier in the year, news dropped that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were going to be making a comeback in CG form (as opposed to in giant rubber costumes). The latest happenings? Apparently The Weistein Co. and Warner Bros. will team up to distribute the pizza-lovin’ quartet’s film. The as-yet untitled flick would be the … Continue reading

BRAN MAK MORN? BERG!

Looking past what may be the most imaginative news headline I’ve ever written, the latest rumblings out of Hollywood come in the probably more creative form of Robert E. Howard’s quasi-historical fantasy, Bran Mak Morn. Peter Berg (director of the pretty damn good Friday Night Lights) has been set up by Universal Pictures to helm … Continue reading

FINCHER WANTS OLD MAN

Coming off of a wonderful and rather subdued performance as James Gordon in Batman Begins, Gary Oldman is now set to work under the creative (and long-awaited) direction of David Fincher in the film Zodiac. Oldman will be playing the role of attorney Melvin Belli. Based out of San Fransico, Belli was a significant American … Continue reading

TRAILER: CORPSE BRIDE

The latest trailer for Tim Burton’s gothic stop-motion opus has arrived courtesy of Yahoo, and while the first half happens to be a bit too similar to the last trailer for my liking (which you can still check out here), the latter half displays a lot more freshness and plenty of those tried and true … Continue reading

THE CHEWER COLUMN #37

Damn, it’s been almost a month since our last column (Geoff Foster’s in-depth look at intelligent science fiction). But just to prove the naysayers wrong, we’re back with more rumblings from the minds of our brilliant fanbase. If you also happen to be brilliant, prove it! Email me and let’s see what you’ve got. As … Continue reading
