Movie Review: ‘Crimson Peak’ Starring Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain
Crimson Peak, the latest offering from Guillermo del Toro, is a beautifully made film. It’s dark, it’s gothic and it’s bloody. However, the one big problem the film has is it’s not scary. For a film that is being billed as a horror movie, Crimson Peak comes off more as a tragic love story – […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Kids Are All Right
The Kids Are All Right is a unique and funny dramedy that is driven by its excellent acting on all fronts. Following a pair of siblings born from the same sperm donor but were each birthed by their separate moms, we pick up just after the oldest, Joni, has turned 18 and can legally request […]
“The Kids Are All Right” HD Trailer Starring Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore
We’ve seen this trailer many times. Play a current catchy indie rock song (this time Vampire Weekend’s “Cousin”), put it over a talented cast, and emote heavily. That isn’t to say it doesn’t look good, on the contrary the movie looks great. It does not stop it from being marketed to pretentious indie snobs such […]
Alice in Wonderland – Movie Review
Walt Disney once famously said, “I hope we never lose sight of one thing. That it all started with a mouse.” While that’s a great quote, truth be told it all started with The Alice Comedies, the Disney clan’s first commercially successful foray into the world of animation. Walt Disney (and the relatively unsung Ub […]
Alice in Wonderland
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have re-teamed once again. This time they tackle an adaptation of one of Lewis Carroll’s most famous novels, “Alice In Wonderland.” I first must tell you some of the 3D effects are great while others are lacking in the modern 3D era.
