Another Take By Zac: Film Review: X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class is a great comic book film that is anchored by a fantastic cast and resets the X-Men universe in an era ripe for potential future films. The film opens up right where the franchise did, with Erik Lehnsherr being separated from his family at a Nazi concentration camp and ripping a fence […]
Review: “X-Men First Class” Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender
X-Men gets the reboot/prequel treatment in X-Men: First Class. What could have been a phone-in FX-fest is instead the best comic book film since The Dark Knight and the strongest Marvel film since Spider-Man 2. (And that’s far from a backhanded compliment in light of Marvel Comics track record over the last decade.) X-Men: First Class is everything a summer blockbuster should be: […]
‘X-Men: First Class’ opens June 3rd, 2011 (wide)
Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Conspirator
Robert Redford’s latest is a fine looking and produced telling of a fairly unknown story in American history that fails to really excel to anything more than a straight forward court room drama that serves as a parallel to our modern day travails with prosecuting through Guantanamo Bay. Now you might ask how a movie […]
“X-Men: First Class” HD Trailer Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence
I have been anticipating this film since I heard that Matthew Vaughn was directing, and it is nice to finally see some footage to back up the anticipation. I think overall it is a pretty good trailer. The music and tone are fantastic. I am not a fan of the twenty second clip show of […]

The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth, and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Starring: Robin Wright, James […]
First Look at “X-Men: First Class” Cast in Costume
Here is your first look at the cast of X-Men: First Class. I think it would have been smarter for the studio to release each character one by one, but they went with all of them at once. The positives: Jennifer Lawrence looks eerily similar to Rebecca Romign and the costume for Emma Frost is […]
What Kind of Cast Can be Expected From Del Toro’s “At the Mountains of Madness”?
Anything Guillermo del Toro does peaks my interest. Add to the fact that James Cameron is producing, and At the Mountains of Madness could be something truly special. With these two big names behind the camera, what kind of talent can audiences expect to see in front of the camera. Tom Cruise is del Toro’s […]
