It’s hard to even fathom what it would be like to lose a child. One might argue that it would be even harder for one of your children to go missing, constantly battling with the thought of where they are and what is happening to them. No closure, just the never-ending struggle of living day […]

These tended to give praise to the police officers, even if they were flawed. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Mel Gibson and Danny […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Source Code

Posted: April 3, 2011 at 6:10 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

Source Code is a fun and gripping ride that will throw some in the end but after some mulling over I think the film works in almost every capacity.

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Love and Other Drugs

Posted: November 24, 2010 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

Love and Other Drugs is the latest from Ed Zwick and features a couple of great lead performances in a story that does a lot of things well but has a hard time finding a narrative through line. Zwick is a history buff and likes to blend fiction with facts and this is another example […]
