Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The American
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 […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.6: Waldorf Stories
Oh, Mr. Draper. How far you have fallen and when we thought the hole could get no deeper you make it ever so. And this week’s episode only made it look worse by juxtaposing his lowest moments yet against his spry and earnest beginnings at Sterling Cooper. God it was nice to see that young […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.5: The Chrysanthemum and the Sword
A team of three is beginning to become very plainly clear to be the real heart and minds behind SCDP and one of those three doesn’t even have their name on the sign. Don, Lane, and Pete are clearly the movers and shakers of the firm and if anyone doubted Pete before they can not […]
Another Take By Zac: “The Switch”
The Switch is a high concept rom-com that might seem a bit, “I’ve seen this before,” but its great performances, fantastic heart, and the most realistic characters in a rom-com, in what feels like forever (save 500 Days of Summer), make this a quality effort that is easy to enjoy. (This review might be a […]

That’s right! We are back with a new round of questions and answers, this time taking of the ever evolving universe of Scott Pilgrim in order to celebrate the film’s release this weekend (and just how awesome Scott Pilgrim is in general). And this time things get “heated.” Read on to find out why. SPOILERS […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.4: The Rejected
Longing was the word of the night in the world of Mad Men, except if your name was Pete Campbell. From Don longing to get off the phone with Lucky Strike in the opening scene, Allison looking through that two way mirror, or Peggy’s entire arc for the episode that simplest of human emotions was […]
The Double Feature: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Kung Fu Hustle
The Double Feature will take a look at a new release title in theaters (well, most of the time) and pair it with a film you can create a double feature with after you get back to the comfort of your living room. Sometimes it will be obvious, other times not so much but I […]
Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animated Prequel
So Cartoon Network has animated a brief prequel segment for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World which goes into Scott and Kim’s high school romance. The animation is pretty simple but captures Bryan Lee O’Malley’s panels almost frame for frame as you can find this segment in the beginning of Vol. 2. This scene was probably […]
