DVD Review: “Family Guy’s It’s a Trap”
As an avid fan of the television series Family Guy and an even more avid fan of the original Star Wars trilogy, few combinations could be as alluring as the recent Family Guy spoofs of the original Star Wars films. Beginning with Blue Harvest, the Family Guy characters took on complementary roles in the Star […]
Tron: Legacy
TRON: Legacy has probably received the heaviest marketing campaign of any film this year. Obviously, Disney is hoping to make a new franchise with a combination of fans of the original and a whole new audience to the world of TRON. But can a 28 year break, impressive visuals, and an onslaught of commercials and […]
“Tron: Legacy” Movie Review: Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde
Let’s cut right to the chase, shall we? Tron: Legacy is a worthy successor to the original Tron. Unfortunately, the original Tron was a complete snooze-fest that would have been a footnote in the annals of Disney history, were it not for its interesting visuals and the fact that it was one of the earliest […]
The Fighter
“The Fighter” is based on true story of boxer Mickey Ward, and the struggles he faced along the road to becoming a champion. While dealing with problems at home with his family, as well as with a drug addicted brother as his trainer, Mickey is an unlikely hero that constantly has the odds going against […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: TRON: Legacy
TRON: Legacy returns the 80’s property to the screen with incredible visuals, a magnificent score, fantastic 3-D, inventive action, and an attempt at sci-fi world building that is ambitious and interesting but falls a bit short of being entirely clear or fascinating. Picking up 20 or so years after the original film, Flynn had gone […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Fighter
The Fighter is a fine character study mixed in with a nice little true life sports movie that I can’t help but feel didn’t reach its potential or bar set by its peers. Following the last attempt of Mickey Ward to win a boxing title we dive into the people around him and shape him […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: How Do You Know
How Do You Know provides a couple sporadic laughs but is more or less an abysmal failure of a movie at every turn. The story revolves around Lisa, an aging Olympic softball star, who gets cut from Team USA and finds herself trying to figure her life out. Her life happens to run into a […]
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear is a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see. The posters were kind of creepy looking. The trailers were not funny in any way. And it kind of annoyed me that they headlined the poster with Justin Timberlake’s name even though his voice is in no way recognizable in the role. […]
Concert Review: TFDI Tour w/ Tony Lucca, Jay Nash, and Matt Duke; Off Broadway December 14th
There are times when you go to see a great show, and you take a look around and think, “Why aren’t there more people here?” Such was the case of the TFDI (or the Totally Fuckin’ Doin’ It Tour, as the audience was told by Jay Nash). When I see musicians the caliber of Tony […]
