Movie Review: OPPENHEIMER Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr.
Christopher Nolan is without a doubt one of the finest directors of the last 25 years of cinema. The Dark Knight Trilogy, Dunkirk, Memento, and Inception are just a few of his noted and award-winning films. And I cannot forget one of my personal favorites, The Prestige. Nolan is a master of his craft and […]
Movie Review: A QUIET PLACE PART II Starring Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Cillian Murphy
Rarely does a horror sequel live up to the original. A Quiet Place Part II is one of the exceptions, as the film is just as good as the original. Like the original, the sequel is still very quiet throughout the film and it’s still quite scary. The cast all returns, led by Emily Blunt, […]
Review: Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK
Some of the most talented filmmakers working today have been subjected to criticism based on the assumption that their work comes off as “pretentious.” Christopher Nolan is among them. I am one who would agree with this claim, yet it does not stop me from referring to the man who challenged traditional story structure with Memento, dazzled the […]
Review: ‘Free Fire’ Starring Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer, Sam Riley
Someone forgot to turn the safety on. In a time when the topic of gun violence has never been more controversial, it sounds psychotic take a risk on a film that is essentially 90 minutes of angry people shooting at each other. But when you throw in a ’70s-style aesthetic, an amusing ensemble of trigger-happy […]

How Long Will Audiences Wait Have to Wait for Another “Tron”?
I saw the original Tron a couple of months before seeing its sequel. While I am sure the effects were wonderful at the time, I wasn’t all that into it. Then, I saw Tron: Legacy, and while the effects were wonderful, I wasn’t all that into it. I mean you have this amazing world that […]
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 […]
