Movie Review: ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Starring John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch
When did video games become cool? I know it’s been a while now, but it is hard to pinpoint when exactly it happened. I remember a time growing up where I was sitting at home playing ‘Super Mario World’ instead of going outside to play sports – and I was the odd man out. Now […]
Review: Disney’s ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ A Smash Hit
I wasn’t a big Disney fan growing up. My friends tease me mercilessly about the fact that I’ve only seen four animated Disney movies (not counting the Pixar films; I’ve seen most of those), but I was just never really into them. Yes, I watched cartoons as a kid, but watching movies, I was able […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Tangled
Disney’s Tangled is the studio’s best computer animated effort yet and continues to show that John Lasseter’s control over the Mouse House animation team is a brilliant move in the right direction.

Movie Review: Disney’s “Tangled” Starring Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Brad Garrett
Don’t let the title fool you. Tangled is really Rapunzel in “tween-boy targeted” clothing. The film marks, with surprisingly little fanfare I might add, Disney Studio’s 50th animated feature. Mandy Moore stars as our formerly-titular hero while Zachary Levi plays Flynn Ryder, a charming ne’re-do-well who stumbles upon the tower in which she’s been imprisoned […]
Tangled
The Disney Core Four. At least, that’s what I like to call them. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King are films that I could watch over and over because of both the gorgeous animation and the wonderful musical numbers. I have been waiting for Disney to return to form, […]
The Hidden Gem – “Anastasia”
This week’s film that is featured will forever be ingrained in my memory forever. First, I love the film, and second, for the story I’m about to tell you. When I was in fourth grade, I was unpopular (which isn’t really a surprise since I was a movie nerd then). I was sitting at the […]
