Movie Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ From The Perspective of a Fanboy

Posted: July 3, 2012 at 3:30 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

For as long as I can remember, Spider-Man has been one of the superheroes I had always come to love. It wasn’t just the enhanced reflexes, spider sense, increased strength and agility that always drew me in (perhaps as a kid, yes), but rather it was Peter Parker’s everyday problems that work in tandem with […]

Movie Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone

Posted: July 2, 2012 at 11:32 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

It might seem strange to most people that there is a reboot of the Spider-Man series that launched just 10 years ago. It may seem even more strange due to the fact that the series of films is one of the most successful trilogies of all time. Aren’t reboots usually saved for source material that […]

The Help was a film that I wanted to see as soon as the trailer popped up online.  Unfortunately, it was released at a time that was very busy for me personally.  I missed out on a lot of movies that I hope to be reviewing their DVDs in the next coming months.  I can […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Help

Posted: August 10, 2011 at 12:10 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Movie Reviews

The Help is built around a lot of strong performances, but the film doesn’t bring anything new to the table, and does only a couple things really well beyond the acting. An adaptation of the best selling novel, most of you probably know the story.  The film looks at life in Jackson, Mississippi in the […]

They might shock me in regards to how appallingly bad they are (I’m looking at you, Splice), but generally they don’t really have the wherewithal to leave me speechless. I’ve always been a Steve Carell fan. The Office remains one of my […]
