The first New York ComiCon was a chaotic place to be on Saturday. The show had about half of the Javits Center, New York City’s big convention center, but that turned out to not be enough – fire marshals and state troopers showed up to do crowd control when 20,000 people showed up for a … Continue reading

Back again with another roundtable format of The Chewer Column. I’m already knee-deep in the next installment which will deal a bit more substantially with the whole Comic Book Film craze of this passing decade, and then possibly have one that focuses on the cinema of Michael Mann.

Hustle & Flow was one of 2005’s best films, and while it’s not getting honored enough at this year’s Oscars, the recognition it is getting is pretty exciting.

Remember that when people begin complaining about this film, and try to figure out which of the two categories they fit in. Or maybe they’ll fit in both! I cannot bring you a review of this … Continue reading
David Morse is one of those typical CHUD actors: we love him because of his long career of little roles in great films, where he’ll often have a memorable scene or two. He hit the big time – sort of – with his own short-lived TV show, Hack, but in general Morse isn’t one of … Continue reading
With the awards season being in full swing and most of our Message Board posters lamenting (or should I say whining) that voters left off mixed bags like Episode III in favor of more mixed bags like Crash, rest assured they’ll have plenty to continually gripe about come March 5th.
