We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

SAINT VIGGO

I haven’t played D&D in years, so remind me – do clerics get a Stinking Cloud spell? If so, Viggo Mortensen, the smelliest hunk in Hollywood, is the perfect casting in Teresa, a Spanish language film. He’ll be playing a cleric opposite the impossibly hot Paz Vega, who will in turn be playing the mystic … Continue reading

CONAN THE CARTOON

Fans waiting for John Milius’ Conan the King to ever get made will at the very least have something to tide them over – there’s a Conan animated film in the works. It’ll be the first time the Barbarian gets the theatrical cartoon treatment, and he’ll be voiced by Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman. The film … Continue reading

EXCLUSIVE: THREE… EXTREMES CLIP

Halloween is an American tradition, but this year you should get out to theaters and celebrate it Asian style with Three… Extremes, a fantastic horror anthology film from three of the best directors the East has to offer. Takashi Miike has a suitably Miike short, which is heavy on atmosphere and weirdness and short on … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 10.19.05

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading

LOOKING AT ANOTHER EYE

Before Paramount’s remake of the Pang Brothers’ spooker The Eye (which is starring Renee Zellweger, as I recently reported HERE) can even undergo surgery, an update of its lesser sequel The Eye 2 (which starred pouty-lipped Hong Kong superstar Qi Shu) is already in the works. The American version, titled In-Utero (and hence already in dire … Continue reading

BLACK HAWK BROWN

Sir Ridley Scott is shopping around a new Encyclopedia Brown franchise, setting up an auction for the movie rights to the popular series of books about the boy detective. Sadly, Donald J. Sobol, the old man who writes those things, is less than pleased.One thing at a time. Producer Howard Deutsch bought the multimedia rights … Continue reading

IS HENRY GETTING A NEW PORTRAIT?

There are a couple of landmark films in my life, and one of those has to be Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. I was impressed that this film was so nasty, so bleak – and so good. At that point in my Fangoria-subscribing life, I just assumed horror films had bad actors and nonsense … Continue reading

THE SCI-FIGHT: TERMINATOR vs. JASON

The Sci-Fight was part of a subsection of CHUD way back in the day (around five years ago), back when the site’s readership was barely a decimal point of what it’s become. I recently came across these and was moderately amused, so I figured I’d share a little chunk of history for those who haven’t … Continue reading
