34: ‘Pompeii’ Starring Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss, Emily Browning
This week on the show lava puns abound as the topic de jour is Pompeii. Could we possibly like an overblown epic compressed to 104-minutes and directed by the man who gave the world not one, not two, but three Resident Evil movies (with a fourth on the way)? Let’s just say that stereotypes were […]
Movie Review: ‘Pompeii’ Starring Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss, Emily Browning
Mince a large cut “Titanic”, without the emotional resonance, tenderize a hunk of “Gladiator”, leaving out all that pesky action and visual pizazz, then season liberally with “Conan The Barbarian”, being sure to leave out most of the gore, throw them all together and bake.

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch will have you wondering “why should I care” as you watch Zack Snyder’s beautiful film unfold, only to confound and confuse even further as it simultaneously saves the film from being narratively pointless in the end. That above sentence doesn’t seem to be high praise, but the more I think and talk about […]
