Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Due Date
Due Date is the latest from Todd Phillips and he smartly lets his leads of Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis make the most of a good but far from great script/story. Peter Highman (Downey Jr.) is a straight shooting architect, with occasional rage issues, that is on his way home to witness the birth […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead premiered this Halloween on AMC and is another great step forward for the network and TV in general. The pilot introduces us to the tip of the iceberg of this world and oh what a world it may be. Having never read the graphic novel series I might be inclined to pick […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Conviction
Conviction takes a fairly remarkable true story and makes it incredibly bland and familiar, only shining when Sam Rockwell strolls onto the screen. The story follows Betty Anne Waters, a small town girl who has a strong bond with her brother, Kenny. Kenny has been in trouble with the law time and time again and […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Hereafter
Clint Eastwood’s latest bests his last couple efforts but for every thing I like about Hereafter there is almost always something that really grates me the wrong way. The film follows three thread lines of different people that have had a recent connection with death and/or the “hereafter.” One is a French reporter who has […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.13: Tomorrowland
What. Just. Happened? A year, a whole fucking year. That is how long we have to wait before we get any sort of answers to the complete 180 we were thrown tonight; as well as any of the many questions left unanswered in this season’s finale. I don’t even remotely know how I feel about […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: jackass 3D
Reviewing jackass 3D is an easy task. You can’t really say anything about it as it will spoil the surprise so you know your review will be short. It’s easy to tell anyone that hasn’t enjoyed the show before that nothing will change here and if you loved it before so will you love this […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Red
Red makes DC Comics two for three this year at making fun action pictures come alive from their pages and neither of them included a character anywhere near being their A, or even B, tent pole characters. R.E.D.’s, Retired Extremely Dangerous, are ex-CIA operatives that are no longer operating in the field but are still […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.12: Blowing Smoke
Ted Chaough must suffer! That is my most wishful goal of the season finale this coming Sunday after he ruined one of the best moments of the season, Don’s brilliant “Why I’m Quitting Tobacco Ad” and the moments that followed. “Blowing Smoke” was a big pick me up before the finale after a solid, but […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Never Let Me Go
The latest, and too long in the coming, from Mark Romanek is a spectacular sci-fi/romance that you wouldn’t be able to pick out either of those genres if you were to look briefly at the film. I am not going to even bother spoiling the film in any way shape or form because the film […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.11: Chinese Wall
I am not going to lie, after one viewing of this week’s episode of Mad Men, Chinese Wall; I can’t help but think that this was one of my least favorite episodes of the show yet. What’s great about Mad Men though is that the episode was still a solid hour of television even if […]
