Why do you ask? Because there are 4 blu-ray must haves that will be released. 1. How to Train Your Dragon (Oct 15)- The film that stole my heart this year. I saw this movie 3 times in theatres (1 in 3D and 2 in regular). That this film is so strong with such a … Continue reading
This past weekend I successfully completed a convention trifecta – I attended three conventions on three consecutive weekends. Horrorfind, Intervention, and Monster Mania – these three cons made up three quarters of my September weekend content. Each one I attended in order to promote something I was involved with. Each one required plenty of prep … Continue reading
I will be honest, I don’t watch any TV shows regularly, except for Glee. It takes a lot for me to care enough about a show to make sure I set aside enough time to watch it every week. This show has captured me by appealing to my love for the musical and by using … Continue reading
As some of you may have previously noticed, I am an avid reader. I have been for most of my life. However, where once I openly embraced the ideas of science fiction and fantasy, over the last five years I have become ingrained with the idea that genre writing has become inherently bad. Now, that’s … Continue reading
My son is almost 5 years old. That’s still no excuse that I let him watch the “older” Disney shows like Good Luck Charlie, Wizards of Waverly Place, Jonas Brothers LA and Suite Life on Deck. I should know better. Regardless, I think the shows are harmless, sometimes funny and charming. So why not let … Continue reading
I was out grooving the other night, (yeah I know), and this song came on. If that video caused your spine to snap as you leapt uncontrollably around the room, I’m sorry. It’s Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja by The Lost Prophets. It may not seem like much these days but this song dominated 2001 for me and … Continue reading
Sometimes the circumstances around seeing a movie far outweigh the experience of the film itself. Such was the case for me on a rare weeknight trip to the movies in 1985 to see the world’s first 3D Animated feature, Starchaser: The Legend of Orin. In late 1985, I saw an ad in the paper for Starchaser … Continue reading
This is a new feature; Cinematic Showdown, the winner takes all battle between any two films that I happen to have seen recently. Because the only thing that I love more than movies, is violence. These films may have little, if any, thematic connection. In fact, the less they have in common, the more fun … Continue reading
And so… The question as to whether I would be capable of giving a bad review to an M. Night Shyamalan film is finally answered. And that answer is a resounding YES that will echo through the halls of time. And the film in question is a motion picture called The Last Airbender. This is … Continue reading
Twitter’s been something I’ve toyed with over the last year or two. I wouldn’t say it got really interesting until I started following over 75 people. Many of them are from CHUD, either writers like Nick (@nicknunziata), Chewers from the board like Tati (@SantiMateo) Rene (@RFRangel); they have CHUD blogs too. And Jake (@ragingtexan). Yes, … Continue reading
