Alternate Versions of Oz, In Honor of Disney’s ‘Oz The Great And Powerful’
Disney’s Oz the Great and Powerful hits theaters today. The film serves as a prequel (of sorts) the MGM classic The Wizard of Oz. I say “of sorts” because Warner Brothers currently holds the rights to the film but not the books (which are in the public domain). As blasphemous as tinkering with a legendary […]
The Long Box: Comic Book Casting Call – Daredevil
Back in 2003, Fox acquired the rights to Daredevil during the initial surge of interest in comic based films. The original cast was Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Michael Clarke Duncan as The Kingpin, and Colin Farrell as Bullseye. The movie opened to mixed reviews. A sequel was discussed but never […]

Pick of the week for August 27, 2012 – The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom Written by Mark Waid Art by Chris Samnee The year was 1991, and I was sitting in a darkened movie theater waiting for another random Disney movie. Little did I know I was about to fall in love with a movie […]
Movie Review: ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ Starring Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Garner
It always bothers me leaving a children’s film not knowing exactly who it’s intended audience is. Being that The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a PG Disney film, it certainly isn’t for adults. But after watching it, I can’t see kids 3-10 being entertained by it either. And there just isn’t enough action or […]
Movie Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Misses the Target
There is no doubt that Pixar has set the bar high. There was a time where it seemed like they couldn’t lose, releasing film after film that would become an instant classic. From the first Toy Story movie until Toy Story 3, every movie was received with almost no complaints from critics, with the exception […]
Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” HD Trailer Starring John C. Reilly
Disney shut up and take my money! That’s all I could think of when I finished watching the Wreck-It Ralph trailer. Sure, I’ve said this about other movies before, but as I don’t really get to say it enough let’s just let is slide. The video game fan in me immediately swooned when I saw […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Cars 2
Cars 2 is fun, funny, fast paced, and an exciting spy movie that improves upon the original Cars and has fun with the genre its playing in; while turning in some quality set pieces that a lot of action movies wish they had. The original Cars has grown on me every time I’ve seen it […]
