Jackass 3D
Warning: if you expect this movie to contain anything other than dangerous stunts, half naked to fully nude men, extremely ridiculous and irrational behavior, and extremely entertaining situations – your expectations are wrong. We have come to know what “Jackass” is for more than a decade now, and this movie is no exception. With that […]
Red
This year has effectively answered, what should aging action stars do? Well, if Red is any indication, embrace the age and make solid action comedy out of it. Based on the Warren Ellis DC Comics graphic novel of the same name, Red stars Bruce Willis as a “RED” or as Ernest Borgnine’s character Henry tells […]
White Lion
Take one part March of the Penguins, add a splash of Lion King (or Kimba the White Lion for animation purists), and add a healthy dose of Planet Earth, what you end up with is lion tamer Kevin Richardson’s White Lion. Told with a completely real live animal cast, White Lion tells the story of […]
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 […]

It’s Kind of a Funny Story
“It’s Kind of a Funny Story” is a dark comedy, with subtle humor that keeps things light-hearted throughout. Although tackling subject matter as serious as being committed into a mental ward can seem intimidating, the film is fun and introduces us to likable characters who keep things entertaining without exploiting the situation. Craig (Keir Gilchrist) […]
Life As We Know It
As the title suggests, “Life As We Know It” is the story of two people’s lives that change unexpectedly after a dramatic event. Although the two leads are Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel, to people who don’t star the best films, the movie is surprisingly charming. The movie opens with a flashback, as Holly Berenson […]
Waiting for “Superman”
Warning: You will leave Waiting For “Superman” with lots of different feelings. Among these you will feel: rage, despair, incredulity, and at times hope. Think back to when you were in school. Did you go public or private? Well, if you went public the odds are that you were part of a failing system if […]
