It's November, which means that the attack has begun. Christmas movies and Oscar-baiting movies and oppressive advertising, straight on until February. As always, a healthy handful of cool movies will inevitably be lost in the shuffle – but not here. CHUD.com… Continue reading
In recommending Black Dynamite, the temptation is to get caught up in the spirit and get silly. Let me go another way, keep it relatively serious, and promise that this is the funniest movie currently playing in any movie theater – that is, unless you're… Continue reading
Forgive me if I use this space to shamelessly sell my stuff, but I wanted to announce that a comic book that I worked on has just been released. It's The Lone Ranger & Tonto #3, the third special issue of the periodic series that supplements the highly… Continue reading
I am SO belated here, but it's a loose end, so let's tie it up: The news hit the trades a few weeks ago, just before the fifth season completed airing, that Rescue Me will finish for good on its final season in 2011. Which makes sense, I suppose: most of the… Continue reading
Mike Judge has written and directed a new comedy! Ain't that good news? Mike Judge is the guy who created Beavis & Butthead and King Of The Hill for television, and wrote and directed the movies Office Space and Idiocracy. That is a pretty solid track… Continue reading
I don't drink much anymore. So there's that, and also, there's the fact that I'm no longer a kid. Qualifying for either of those conditions would help anyone immeasurably in watching a movie like G.I. JOE: The Rise Of Cobra, but that's not the way I saw the… Continue reading

Naw, I dug the Watchmen movie a fair amount, actually. I just saw the above mash-up title [He's Just Not That Into You + Watchmen] on a marquee somewhere in Yonkers back in March, and I had to finally share it. Unfortunately, it seems to accurately describe… Continue reading
Getting out of the ‘eighties, it turns out, hasn't been easy on anyone. It's especially tough on the greased-up, hyper-muscled action heroes of the Reagan Era. All of them have suffered their ups and downs on screen and off, and have had to resort to… Continue reading
Yeah, I'm back on the subject. This latest episode of Rescue Me, entitled "Torch," was just too good to pass unremarked. It was a sterling example of everything that's right about this show, of which there is plenty (at the risk of repeating myself… Continue reading
I've been talking up my excitement about this movie for a while now, in this space and most everywhere else I leave tracks, so I would have to understand anyone who takes my opinion about Public Enemies with a grain of salt (or the entire shaker). I was… Continue reading
I published this editorial elsewhere, but I want to repost it here because the inspiration started with an article from the CHUD front page. Also because I'd like to repeat my message, which is that I'm avoiding Transformers 2 and I think that you should too.… Continue reading
