Bryan Batt is an accomplished actor of television, film, and the stage. He is perhaps known best for his roles on Broadway and the character Sal on the AMC hit show Mad Men. Now the actor is trying something new, and something much more personal. Taking the influences of Tennessee Williams on his life, he […]

January Jones Talks About Her Character Emma Frost in “X-Men First Class”

Posted: January 4, 2011 at 11:19 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

X-Men is my favorite Marvel property.  I grew up on the animated series which was terrific.  The first two films that Bryan Singer directed are great.  Despite almost everyone hating the third outing by Brett Ratner, there are parts that I really like, but it’s mainly due to the fact that I just like the […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.13: Tomorrowland

Posted: October 18, 2010 at 12:27 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Television Reviews

What. Just. Happened? A year, a whole fucking year.  That is how long we have to wait before we get any sort of answers to the complete 180 we were thrown tonight; as well as any of the many questions left unanswered in this season’s finale. I don’t even remotely know how I feel about […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.12: Blowing Smoke

Posted: October 12, 2010 at 12:51 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Television Reviews

Ted Chaough must suffer!  That is my most wishful goal of the season finale this coming Sunday after he ruined one of the best moments of the season, Don’s brilliant “Why I’m Quitting Tobacco Ad” and the moments that followed. “Blowing Smoke” was a big pick me up before the finale after a solid, but […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.11: Chinese Wall

Posted: October 4, 2010 at 6:23 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Television Reviews

I am not going to lie, after one viewing of this week’s episode of Mad Men, Chinese Wall; I can’t help but think that this was one of my least favorite episodes of the show yet. What’s great about Mad Men though is that the episode was still a solid hour of television even if […]

Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.10

Posted: September 27, 2010 at 7:30 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Television Reviews

Well crap, just when things started to look up a bit for a good portion of the family of SCDP, things go flying and hit the fan. Don is freaking out, I mean panic attack level freak outs, and that is because he is being background checked by the government due to SCDP’s involvement with […]

Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.9

Posted: September 27, 2010 at 7:00 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Television Reviews

Focusing on the women in Mad Men’s life is a common occurrence for the show but I don’t know if it has ever been as exclusively displayed as this.  Outside his interactions with Sally and Faye, Don doesn’t really have a story here and surprisingly it didn’t really hurt the episode. Peggy’s lesbian friend sets […]

Another Take By Zac: TV Review: Mad Men 4.8

Posted: September 27, 2010 at 6:30 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Television Reviews

So I have been hustling and bustling back and forth half way across the country these last 10 days and have neglected reviewing the last two weeks of Mad Men.  Well I am here today to right that wrong in a couple of brief recaps and some bullets about the missed episodes on the site.  […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.7: The Suitcase

Posted: September 6, 2010 at 7:29 pm   /   Film, Local

We have hit bottom.  At least I really, really hope we have.  But in hitting Don Draper’s rock bottom, wait; we were given the best episode of Mad Men yet. In what starts off to seemingly becoming a night out with the boys of SCDP quickly dissolves into a two character dance as Don and […]

TV Review: Mad Men 4.6: Waldorf Stories

Posted: August 30, 2010 at 1:52 am   /   Film, Local

Oh, Mr. Draper.  How far you have fallen and when we thought the hole could get no deeper you make it ever so.  And this week’s episode only made it look worse by juxtaposing his lowest moments yet against his spry and earnest beginnings at Sterling Cooper.  God it was nice to see that young […]
