Roger Ebert’s Top Ten of 2010

Posted: December 21, 2010 at 11:49 am   /   Film, Local

I usually become numb to these types of lists pretty quick.  I would venture to guess around 5 out of 10 films on everybody’s list is the same.  I’m not saying it’s bad, it just gets monotonous.  Well I haven’t read too many lists yet this year, and I think Roger Ebert is well respected […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The American

Posted: September 3, 2010 at 2:57 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

The second feature effort from Anton Corbijn is almost as good as his first and is a quiet, deliberate, and sexy thriller lead by the great George Clooney. Clooney stars as Jack/Edward, a hit man that is loosing his drive for the profession though is still as sharp as ever.  After a too close for […]

The Weekend Box Office

Posted: August 30, 2010 at 7:05 am   /   Local, Movie News

Going into the weekend, I thought The Expendables might be able to hang on to the top spot. I definitely underestimated this weekend’s releases. If estimates hold true, The Last Exorcism barely edged out Takers for the top spot by just $200,000. Both films beat The Expendables pretty easily by about $12 million. Inception actually […]

“The American” HD Trailer Starring George Clooney

Posted: May 18, 2010 at 1:20 pm   /   Local, Movie Trailers

George Clooney does his best Jason Bourne impression in the latest trailer for Anton Corbijn’s The American. The trailer for this film gives me mixed emotions. It doesn’t look to spoil the plot for you, which is always a plus, but it doesn’t really sell what genre it is in either. I can’t decide if  […]

This is a top five title to watch for me and I can’t wait till this drops at the end of the year.  Following Clooney as a hitman doing one last job the film is bound to impress based on talent alone and will hopefully be a nice spin on the genre as well.  Anyways, […]
