HIS SATANIC MAJESTY, THOMAS JANE

I had a chance to talk with Wayne Kramer today, the director of the upcoming and excellent Running Scared. The full interview will run next week, but Wayne spilled some interesting beans about his upcoming projects, including the fact that Thomas Jane is interested in starring in his film Evil Seek – as Satan. The … Continue reading

SATURN AWARD NOMS

If you aren’t familiar with the Saturn Awards, it’s basically the awards show geared for geeks (and since you’re reading this site, you’re basically one too. Geek!). The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films’ 32nd annual ceremony will be held on May 2nd, when genre-friendly movies, TV shows, DVD releases and even videogames get their … Continue reading

SCREENING: V FOR VENDETTA

The boys over at AICN (who seem to be in CHUD-ignoring mode these days, but whatever…) said this film was the best thing since sliced head, and I’m hoping that this flick is a wonderful treat for cinemagoers and not the latest victim of "we saw it early, so it’s great" hype.

But what people like Alan Moore realized years ago was that the most interesting things about superheroes are what they say about … Continue reading

BROKEBACK BASEBALL

Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons said something interesting to me last week when he was visiting New York City: “Playing gay is the new playing crippled,” when it comes to awards. I think that Garth might well be right, but does that mean a remake of Bowfinger would have Kit looking to play Buck the … Continue reading
