Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Kung Fu Panda 2

Posted: May 27, 2011 at 12:01 am   /   Film, Local

Kung Fu Panda 2 is a heartfelt and action packed sequel that moves us deeper into the series’ mythology, but seems to double down on stupid non-character based humor that pulls you out of the picture every time.

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Your Highness

Posted: April 8, 2011 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Movie Reviews

Your Highness is a solid fantasy film throwback that also happens to be quite funny as it lovingly sends up the genres heyday of the 80’s. I worded that opening pitch to emphasize that I think you should view this film as a throwback fantasy film first and a comedy a close second.  That is […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Due Date

Posted: November 5, 2010 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

Due Date is the latest from Todd Phillips and he smartly lets his leads of Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis make the most of a good but far from great script/story. Peter Highman (Downey Jr.) is a straight shooting architect, with occasional rage issues, that is on his way home to witness the birth […]

Land of the Lost

Posted: June 4, 2009 at 10:00 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

So, this summer has already seen one remake of an older series with slightly cheesy effects. We all remember how that turned out? Well, did Land of the Lost turn out as well? Ah, well that might be a bit of a debate for some. Dr. Rick Marshall is a scientist who has been laughed […]
