Movie Review: Bad Times at The El Royale starring Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Jon Hamm

Posted: October 11, 2018 at 6:23 pm   /   Movie Reviews, Reviews

Like any self-respecting pop culture fanatic I have a constant list of predictions on who are set to be big stars. I had been saying for years that Zach Galfianakis would break out, and finally after The Hangover he achieved A-List status that has turned into a cornucopia of roles for the actor. There has […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Sucker Punch

Posted: March 25, 2011 at 12:18 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

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 […]
