Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Let Me In
Let Me In is one of the most successful foreign film adaptations ever and it does that by pulling from both the source novel and the film to give itself enough of its own identity to forget about the original film, Let the Right One In, if you have seen it. Reviewing Matt Reeves’ film […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.10
Well crap, just when things started to look up a bit for a good portion of the family of SCDP, things go flying and hit the fan. Don is freaking out, I mean panic attack level freak outs, and that is because he is being background checked by the government due to SCDP’s involvement with […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.9
Focusing on the women in Mad Men’s life is a common occurrence for the show but I don’t know if it has ever been as exclusively displayed as this. Outside his interactions with Sally and Faye, Don doesn’t really have a story here and surprisingly it didn’t really hurt the episode. Peggy’s lesbian friend sets […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.8
So I have been hustling and bustling back and forth half way across the country these last 10 days and have neglected reviewing the last two weeks of Mad Men. Well I am here today to right that wrong in a couple of brief recaps and some bullets about the missed episodes on the site. […]
Another Take By Zac: “The Virginity Hit”
The Virginity Hit is a docu-style sex comedy produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay and is the funniest movie of the year so far. The film follows a group of friends after there last year of high school as they try to get their last friend to take his illusive virginity hit of their […]
Another Take By Zac: “The Town”
Ben Affleck’s second directorial effort is as strong as his first, Gone Baby Gone, and is a very good crime/bank robbery movie that is tough to complain about. The film follows Doug MacRay, a bank robber, and his team as they run through a series of jobs which lead to Doug wanting to finally get […]
Another Take By Zac: “Easy A”
Easy A is a winning high school comedy that is sharply written, has a fantastic supporting cast, and features a breakout lead performance by Emma Stone. Stone stars as Olive, an apparent outcast and “un-cool” high school kid that ups her status accidentally by faking having sex with her gay friend so he doesn’t get […]
Flipped
Rob Reiner’s Flipped is based around an interesting gimmick, flipping perspectives after every sequence from the boy to the girl’s perspective, but it is rarely used to any real effect. Added to this, Reiner and companies attempt to capture the 60’s doesn’t quite work as well as they think it does. Bryce didn’t really like […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.7: The Suitcase
We have hit bottom. At least I really, really hope we have. But in hitting Don Draper’s rock bottom, wait; we were given the best episode of Mad Men yet. In what starts off to seemingly becoming a night out with the boys of SCDP quickly dissolves into a two character dance as Don and […]
