Longtime CHUD readers will know that when we have screenings they’re usually in the South. That’s because CHUD’s technically based out of Atlanta (although this being the internet physical location doesn’t mean a whole bunch). But when the opportunity arises to have a CHUD screening here in New York City, I jump at it. Especially … Continue reading
Don’t forget about our Beerfest screening! The Descent is a movie that has garnered an interesting bit of discussion amongst the CHUD.com staff and readers for some time now. We even devoted a chunk of Podcast time to it in the past. Some of us love it. Some of us like it. Some of us… … Continue reading
The CHUD.com screening of Super Troopers is the stuff of legend, especially since it happened a few hours after I’d spent an hour hanging with the Broken Lizard guys in their tour bus and was so jazzed about the film I couldn’t wait to have the locals see it. I’d seen it the day before … Continue reading
You don’t have to wait until the new season of Battlestar Galactica starts up for some sharp science-fiction — the new Sci-Fi Channel series Eureka starts on July 18th. The show’s official synopsis: Nestled in the Pacific Northwest, Eureka is a small town with big secrets. Shrouded in secrecy, the picturesque hamlet is actually a … Continue reading
On July 18 Ren & Stimpy fans are getting a real treat: the release of Ren & Stimpy: The Lost Episodes on DVD. Spike TV commissioned a new Ren & Stimpy series from creator John Kricfalusi but the episodes –which included a two parter were Ren knocks up Stimpy – were considered way too raunchy … Continue reading
Finally. Richard Linklater’s anticipated Philip K. Dick adaptation A Scanner Darkly (Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson) is finally coming to theaters in all its Rotoscoped glory. I hated the piss out of Waking Life’s coffeehouse ramblings but the visual style used there (and now in credit card commercials) is nothing short … 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
I don’t want to scare you off of Road to Guantanamo by telling you that it’s one of the most important films of the year – instead I’ll tell you that it’s one of the most harrowing. If this was a work of fiction it could have come from Eli Roth; sadly it’s all too … Continue reading
IT’S YOUR LAST DAY TO ENTER! THIS CONTEST ENDS TOMORROW, WHEN THE DVD IS RELEASED IN STORES! It’s a pretty safe bet that many of you did not see Dave Chappelle’s Block Party, a truly wonderful and transcendent film that operates on you in much the same way Wyld Stallyns’ music did on the universe … Continue reading
Last night I saw a really fantastic documentary, Wordplay, about the New York Times crossword puzzle and its editor, Will Shortz. It sounds like a potentially dry subject, but the film is a complete blast, and it includes some really great and tense competition from the National Crossword Puzzle Tournament in Stamford, Connecticut. It’s everything … Continue reading
