Movie Review: ‘Dawn of The Planet of The Apes’ Starring Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman
As far as reboots of well established franchises go, Rise of the Planet of the Apes certainly ranked among the ones that was (or is, if you still haven’t seen it) very well worth your time. I certainly wish more sequels would turn out like this one. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes leads off […]
Movie Review: ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Starring Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage
After almost 9 years of waiting, we finally return to Middle Earth in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. There was a period of time where we weren’t sure what would happen with the film, or who would direct it. But it was inevitable in my mind that the only man worthy of helming such a […]

Release Date Shuffle: X-Men, Planet of the Apes, Robopocalypse, Lone Ranger and Thor 2
We already saw a big shift in the last two weeks when Paramount announced a month before release that “GI Joe: Retaliation” would be postponed nine months until March 2013. Check out Blake’s thoughts here. I think that is a special exception though, due to these films being so far from their intended release dates […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is one of the finest entries of the summer, features a phenomenal performance by Andy Serkis, and features some of the most impressive special effects integration from WETA yet.

Who Will be Returning to Middle Earth for “The Hobbit”?
After numerous delays and a game of musical chairs with directors, The Hobbit is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2012 (part 1 that is). While the casting of the title character Bilbo Baggins has been announced, we are slowly hearing exactly what characters from the Lord of the Rings trilogy will be returning to […]
Peter Jackson and “The Hobbit” Are Officially Greenlit
I’m sure a lot of you were sure this day would never come. I wouldn’t blame anyone for believing it wouldn’t happen. This production has been pretty crazy since the beginning. The film has seen Peter Jackson courted originally after the success of Lord of the Rings. It was then put on the shelf after […]
