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 →
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 →
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 →
