THE CHEWER COLUMN #40

You can’t keep a good column down. Nope, don’t even try. So after yet another long hiatus, we’re back. There are at least a couple more write-ups planned for down the road (Geoff, Trin… email me). After that, I think I’m going to try something different to kind of spice things up and involve more … Continue reading

DUNGEON SIEGE REVEALED

Our man Jakob once again hooked us up with what appears to be the first exclusive image from Uwe Boll’s almost inevitable celluloid disaster, Dungeon Siege. So what can possibly be said about this? Honestly, my mind’s a blank. You’ve got John Rhys-Davies in the background praying for Peter Jackson to come in and swoop … Continue reading

EXCLUSIVE WALLACE & GROMIT CLIP!

By now, everyone should know that I’m a pretty big advocate of clay, especially of the animated variety. I’ve gone on in the past about Wallace & Gromit, both the upcoming feature length endeavor The Curse of the Were-Rabbit as well as creator Nick Park’s original three shorts (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, … Continue reading

WOLVERINE SPOTTED IN THE WOODS!

It’s begun. Apparently sporting the same wardrobe from X2, chiseled man-specimen Hugh Jackman is seen here as Canadian berserker Wolverine, presumably chopping wood with his adamantium claws or just killing gaffers for the fun of it. It’s funny, I have to agree with Quint’s take over at AICN about these pics. As much as I … Continue reading

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE VIDEO GAME?

Here we go again. Not exactly movie news per se, but something I think you guys might find intriguing… Sergio Leone’s classic spaghetti western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly joins the likes of The Godfather, Dirty Harry, Scarface, and Taxi Driver in an ever elongating line of classic film-to-game adaptations. My mind continues … Continue reading

THE CHILDREN OF OLDMAN

I’m not that familiar with the works of Alfonso Cuarón, but of what I’ve seen, I would go so far as to say that the man’s a real visonary. The third Potter installment, Prisoner of Azkaban, proved this to me and many others. It’s the only Potter film I can really get behind (sorry, Dev) … Continue reading

CHUDSTORIES: THE HARD MAN

(From the Pulp Crime stories) Billy didn’t really think of his prison experience in a bad way. It was horrible, but it was like it happened to someone else and he was just watching. Being on the other side of that prison wall probably had something to do with it. He didn’t really know. After … Continue reading

THE PROGNOSTICATOR – SEPTEMBER

Normally I would open this column with some jokes or other, but this month is going to be different. While we’re all planning out our moviegoing for September, many Chewers from three Southern states will probably not be making it to a theater this month. On behalf of all the CHUD.com staff, I want to … Continue reading
