Movie Review: OPPENHEIMER Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr.

Posted: July 20, 2023 at 9:51 am   /   Movie Reviews

Movie Review: A QUIET PLACE PART II Starring Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Cillian Murphy

Posted: May 28, 2021 at 9:40 am   /   Movie Reviews

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, […]

But when you throw in a ’70s-style aesthetic, an amusing ensemble of trigger-happy […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: TRON: Legacy

Posted: December 17, 2010 at 4:30 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

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 […]
