No secret – we love Children of Men. In fact, it tied for first place in my Top Fifteen for 2006, and Nick listed it at #4. Universal is gearing up for the DVD release of the film on March 27, and they offered us a cool opportunity – you guys submit questions for director … Continue reading
If you’ve been reading our Chud Essentials list over the past week, the film Q The Winged Serpent should be fresh in mind. I’m just saying that because in mere moments I’m going to write about the upcoming flick Winged Creatures, and I feel it’s really important to get thefact that it is not a … Continue reading
It’s been far too long since we’ve been exposed to a film about sentient, murdering vines and their flowers. Thankfully, Dreamworks is about to change all that. The studio SKG built and sold has signed Carter B. Smith to direct its adaptation of the Scott Smith singing vine novel, The Ruins. Smith will also write the screenplay, ala … Continue reading
If you’ve been into any bookstore in the last year, you’ve noticed the sugar-coated cover of a cute l’il "yellow" Labrador Retriever puppy, head cocked, that belongs to the memoir Marty & Me.

Sure enough he has, but in a pleasant surprise, he’s not dealing with … Continue reading
We reported on the rumor a couple of weeks ago, and now it’s confirmed in the trades: Aaron Eckhart is going to be Two-Face in the upcoming Nolan sequel The Dark Knight. It’s just one more element that indicates Christopher Nolan is taking these films seriously (some would say too seriously, but I digress), and … Continue reading
Here’s great news for people who like good movies: Hot Fuzz is off to a killer start in the UK. Universal opened the film there on Valentine’s Day, and it proceeded to make $1.76 million on 500 screens. This doesn’t sound like a lot to us Americans, but when you realize that this is 50% … Continue reading
The big trailer for Grindhouse is out, and I hate to revert to internet movie geek type, but it fucking kicks ass. It is just a terrific trailer, and one that really has the perfect feel of the grindhouse trailers of the day – this trailer could fit quite nicely on any of Synapse Films’ … Continue reading
