We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

EMMERICH TRASHES THE PAST

He already froze North America, wrecked a bunch of Manhattan with a legendary radioactive lizard (and said lizard), and exploded a whole bunch of global landmarks with flying saucers.  Now Roland Emmerich is venturing into the past for more stuff to destroy. The director best known for pitting two cinematic icons against each other (winner: … Continue reading

TALKIN’ ROMERO

In case you haven’t been by our horror-centric offspring Creature Corner lately, CHUD regular and great Brit Dan Whitehead has picked up the reins and will begin flaying your flesh with all sorts of juicy horror-related news and reviews and random chunks of grue (I’ll be contributing the occasional pound of flesh myself). A good … Continue reading

ASS-KICKING SYRIANA TRAILER

Holy crap! The trailer for Syriana is here, and the movie, which was one I was very excited about before, has suddenly become my most-anticipated for the rest of the year. Just look at this cast:George ClooneyMatt Damon Chris CooperJeffrey WrightChristopher PlummerWilliam HurtAmanda PeetThat guy from Star Trek: Deep Space NineTim Blake Nelson (probably playing … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 10.5.05

George Clooney saw the same reaction from a group of young people when he screened the film for them (there are no more … Continue reading

ALL QUIET ON THE X-MEN FRONT

I have to confess something: at this point I have an almost complete lack of interest in X-Men 3.  The most intriguing thing about the production so far was the participation of Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn, but he already took the Blackbird back to the UK, leaving us in the questionable care of Brett … Continue reading

SYMBIOTE’S SARTORIAL SLIP-UP

This doesn’t make me happy. Freeze Dried Movies, the first site to reveal the identities of Spider-Man 3’s villains (since confirmed), has a new scoop – and it’s ugly. Ugly as in, the costumes for Venom and Hobgoblin are ugly. “The first problem is with Venom’s costume, which Spiderman wears first. Instead of being pure … Continue reading

PUBERTY: THE MOTION PICTURE

“Everything is about to change” is actually a pretty decent tagline for the fourth Harry Potter movie. In fact, maybe it’s a touch on the nose – it almost reads like code for “He’s getting hair down there.” As the release date for the film nears I find myself getting more and more excited. Mike … Continue reading
