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 […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Let Me In
Let Me In is one of the most successful foreign film adaptations ever and it does that by pulling from both the source novel and the film to give itself enough of its own identity to forget about the original film, Let the Right One In, if you have seen it. Reviewing Matt Reeves’ film […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.10
Well crap, just when things started to look up a bit for a good portion of the family of SCDP, things go flying and hit the fan. Don is freaking out, I mean panic attack level freak outs, and that is because he is being background checked by the government due to SCDP’s involvement with […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.9
Focusing on the women in Mad Men’s life is a common occurrence for the show but I don’t know if it has ever been as exclusively displayed as this. Outside his interactions with Sally and Faye, Don doesn’t really have a story here and surprisingly it didn’t really hurt the episode. Peggy’s lesbian friend sets […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.8
So I have been hustling and bustling back and forth half way across the country these last 10 days and have neglected reviewing the last two weeks of Mad Men. Well I am here today to right that wrong in a couple of brief recaps and some bullets about the missed episodes on the site. […]
Another Take By Zac: “The Virginity Hit”
The Virginity Hit is a docu-style sex comedy produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay and is the funniest movie of the year so far. The film follows a group of friends after there last year of high school as they try to get their last friend to take his illusive virginity hit of their […]
