Last month I got to go on what was probably my favorite set visit so far – a visit to the Montreal set of 300, Zach Snyder’s adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel. We happened to be on set the first day Miller visited, and we had a chance to talk to him. Most of … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
A year ago I put up the first Prognosticator, and one of the movies on that list for January 2005 was CSA: The Confederate States of America. It’s January 2006 and I have just seen that film at a press screening. It’s finally coming out next month. And it’s great. I don’t know why it’s … Continue reading
Now that her luck with TV continues running bad (her sci-fi series Threshold, a show with interesting characters shackled by a generic premise, joins the lamented Karen Sisco on the cancellation heap), tasty treat Carla Gugino is heading back to theaters. Gugino, who last flaunted her fantastic form in Sin City (thank you, dear), is … Continue reading
The teaser for Pan’s Labyrinth, the next film from Guillermo del Toro, is here, and it just freaked me the fuck out. That’s pretty impressive, since my crappy computer plays all streaming video as if it were stop motion animated by a spastic (seriously, I hate streaming video so very fucking much), and this thing … Continue reading
The first one was great. The second one was unexpected fun. Somehow I don’t feel the need to go back for thirds. But nobody asks me about these things, so the planning for Ocean’s Thirteen is underway right now. The idea is to have a 2006 start on the film, with (Nation’s Punched contributor) Brian … Continue reading
Holy Hoth, it seems like I’ve heard about this movie almost as many years as I’ve been writing for CHUD and chasing girls half my age (not necessarily associated hobbies), but 5-25-77 finally seems like it’s ready to escape the tractor beam of development hell. The movie is a love letter to the first Star Wars, with toothy Freaks … Continue reading

Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s run on The Ultimates, Marvel’s reboot version of The Avengers, is often called “widescreen,” and compared to big budget action films. So it makes sense that their first storyline, Super-Human, would end up the basis of a movie. Of course with live action budgets being what they are, and the … Continue reading
Will Tom Hanks be starring in Star Trek XI? That’s what some blog called Sci-Fi Heaven, whose masthead is made up of the faces of people who I have never seen before in my life but are apparently involved in sci-fi and who appear to be basking in the Lord’s afterlifey glow, is telling us. … Continue reading
