Notes on SIGNS – Possibly my favorite of the spoofs. I love the way Lewis draws aliens (readers of our old Dead Squirrel Magazine can attest) and I think a film so homey and small is harder to do that ones with stuff that allows for broad comedy. Plus, I… Continue reading
Notes on X2 – This turned out to be harder to spoof than we thought. First of all, it's a really good movie and secondly… we didn't want to have to cater too much to hardcore fans. I think that this is probably the most disjointed of our strips,… Continue reading

We are creeping towards the 100th Steady Leak article and I need your help in making it a special one. CLICK HERE to read up on what I have cooking and see if you have any ideas on how to make it better. Additionally, I've announced that we'll be starting a… Continue reading
Dear CHUD readers, this could well be one of the last times I update this site (stop cheering). This weekend I am flying to Berlin (the one in Germany) to visit the set of the feature film adaptation of Aeon Flux. I fear flying like a worm fears the early… Continue reading
If you want to see a Harold and Kumar 2: Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam (where else?), you better buy the DVD. That's going to be the deciding factor on a sequel, says director Danny Leiner. "That is the plan. The writers were hired to write that sequel.… Continue reading
I count myself as a strident Aaron Eckhart partisan, and I wince when I look back at some of the roles he has taken in recent years. Suspect Zero alone is enough to give you the stigmata. In fact, a look at his CV (how British of me!) reveals that the guy… Continue reading
This gives me hope. Now I can resume praying by might nightstand for a line of Barfly action figures as well as the action playset for The Accused. There is a toy line coming for Walter Hill's 1979 cult classic The Warriors. I'm not just doing this news item… Continue reading
Today's edition of Entertainment Weekly will premiere a shot of Dr. Doom from the upcoming Fantastic Four film. This isn't a publicity shot but an actual picture of the character as he appears in the film. I hate to pile onto this film – the last time I heard… Continue reading
Nicolas Cage has not done traditional press rounds in at least the five years I’ve been a journalist. He’s always pleasant on the red carpet, answering a question or two if he makes it to your spot on the line, but no roundtable interviews. Only for Sonny,… Continue reading
A sloppy mix of legend and half researched fact, yet another teaming between Nic Cage and Jerry Bruckheimer, a movie full of slow motion and blaring “excitement” music, National Treasure is exactly the sort of film I hate. But somehow, instead of finding… Continue reading
I don't even know how to respond to the news that Cabin Fever filmmaker Eli Roth is co-producing the Baywatch movie. I mean, I know enough about the film business (I think) to realize that not every producer on a project is actually doing much of anything… Continue reading
