Review: LOGAN Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen
This is what we wanted, isn’t it? A no-holds-barred, unfiltered look into the world of the X-Men, as opposed to the toned-down PG-13 version offered by the previous films in the series? A chance to see Wolverine shine in his full, unadulterated glory? Hell yes. What wouldn’t have been possible were it not for the […]
Review: ‘Table 19’ Starring Anna Kendrick, Craig Robinson, June Squibb, Stephen Merchant
Anna Kendrick returns from animated form in last year’s massively successful Trolls to star in the forgettable Table 19 as Eloise, the former Maid of Honor at her oldest friend’s wedding. Coping from a text-induced break-up with Best Man and brother to the bride, Teddy (Wyatt Russell), Eloise opens the film struggling to decide whether […]
Review: ‘Logan’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen
Finally. After seventeen years and eight X-Men films (nine, if you include Deadpool), the fans of the franchise finally get the Wolverine film they deserve – an R-rated, no holds barred, action-packed bloodbath of a film. This is James Mangold’s second straight Wolverine film, and in my opinion, the best addition to the franchise to […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Hall Pass
The latest from the Farrelly Brothers has a bit of an identity crisis, it doesn’t know if it wants to be crude (which rarely works here) or sweet (which does kind of work) and it never finds the right balance. A Hall Pass is a week off from marriage with no consequences for any and […]
“Burke and Hare” Trailer Starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis
I, like any self-respecting geek, am a huge fan of Simon Pegg. He’s one of those celebrities that all geeks love (along with Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, etc.), and when you pair him with the amazingly versatile Andy Serkis (Smeagol/Gollum for those not in the know), and the stunningly beautiful Isla Fisher, and you’ve got […]
Cemetery Junction (Now out on Blu-ray/DVD)
The first feature film from the brilliant British duo Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais is a bit more of a dramatic affair but still serves as an excellent, if a tad conventional, portrait of an era with their excellent blend of humor, sadness, and reality. The film follows three friends form a rundown section of […]
Farrelly Brothers Comedy “Hall Pass” Adds British Funnyman Stephen Merchant
American audiences may not be too familiar with British comedian Stephen Merchant at least by name. Most Americans would know him as the hapless agent in Ricky Gervais’ HBO show Extras. However, in actuality he is the co-creator of The Office along with Ricky Gervais, and his writing partner. A very funny, if a bit […]
The Tooth Fairy
Sometimes when you see the first trailer for a film, you think “That can’t be good.” Such was the case with The Tooth Fairy. The trailer for the film was so bad that I thought it was a satirical piece done by a site like FunnyorDie. Luckily, the film wasn’t as bad as the trailer, […]
