It’s November, which means that the attack has begun. Christmas movies and Oscar-baiting movies and oppressive advertising, straight on until February. As always, a healthy handful of cool movies will inevitably be lost in the shuffle – but not here. CHUD.com is kind enough to allow me the space to talk movies, so what … Continue reading
The Blood the Last Vampire dvd has a really interesting feature on the stunts in the film. It also has terrible CGI.
I bought the new Call of Duty on Friday and was pretty sure I’d finish it by the end of the weekend. A lot of people complained about the shortness of the single player campaign but that seems ridiculous to me. A game like MW2 is so white-knuckle that it it relies on a certain … Continue reading
As I said in a previous blog, I’ve fiercely gotten back into reading books. The first 4 books were novelizations, and now I’m onto a book that got turned into a film. The book was referred to as unfilmable. From what I’ve read so far, Naked Lunch would be the most expensive sci-fi hardcore porno … Continue reading

I have avoided seeing Guy Ritchie’s Revolver for a couple years now based on what I’d heard about it. I’ve been so curious, especially since Rocknrolla. Despite the bad words seemingly everybody has to say about Revolver I know that my first pass through RnR I thought it was shite too, then in the last … Continue reading
The Men Who Stare at Goats is not a masterpiece. It’s a fun, light movie featuring some great actors having a good time entertaining us and the result is worth the time spent with it. In the pantheon of the comedy we’re subjected to in a given year it’s far better than most of the … Continue reading
The movie Where The Wild Things Are has been on the verge of success from the moment it was announced that Spike Jonze was on directing duty. FINALLY, Where The Wild Things Are would merge with a director that has a tried and tested sense of vision and style. Almost too good to … Continue reading
