Weekly Gleek Report – The “Glee” Rocky Horror Picture Show
Let’s say there’s a super popular TV show and a particular episode of said TV show is being hyped to the max (guilty as charged), what happens when that episode finally airs and the critics have to weigh in. If that TV show was Glee and the episode was The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this […]
Movie Review – Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter” starring Matt Damon
Serious films about the afterlife are always tricky – answer questions with too great a degree of specificity and you will undoubtedly alienate audience members whose religious beliefs are different. Conversely, if your version of life-after-death is so ecclesiastically ambiguous that it can pass as all things to all people then what’s the point? Herein […]
Paranormal Activity 2
Paranormal Activity 2 is a very hard film to review. If I say anything specific about the movie I feel as if I am giving spoilers on the whole thing. If you have seen the trailers then you have seen enough you need to know. A family is being haunted in a similar fashion than […]
Hereafter
Clint Eastwood has proven himself as an excellent director over the years, with several of his films being nominated for and winning Academy Awards. Unfortunately, “Hereafter” does not fall into the same category as Eastwood’s triumphs, and falls short on so many levels. “Hereafter” tells the story of 3 different sets of people, all of […]
Stone
After seeing the trailer for Stone I had a hard time believing that a relationship could develop between Milla Jovovich and Robert DeNiro. I wasn’t dying to see the film, but ever since I saw Edward Norton in The Score (personal favorite) I get intrigued to see what he is up to. I left the […]
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 […]
“RED” Movie Review | Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren
Bruce Willis plays retired CIA operative Frank Moses in the new action/comedy Red. He is on the run when a non-retired CIA covert team attempts to assassinate him. His solution is to reassemble his old team of aging veterans to figure out why. Like The Expendables the cast consists primarily of *ahem* “mature” movie stars […]
Conviction
Based on the true story of Betty Anne Waters and her brother Kenny, “Conviction” tells us just one story out of thousands that belong to innocent people who have been convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Betty Anne (Hillary Swank) and Kenny (Sam Rockwell) are two people who grew up in a less than perfect […]
