Another Take By Zac: Film Review: X-Men: First Class

Posted: June 3, 2011 at 3:50 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Film, Local

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

Posted: June 2, 2011 at 10:52 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

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)

Posted: May 29, 2011 at 3:37 am   /   Coming Soon, Local

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 […]

Jane Eyre

Posted: March 26, 2011 at 4:58 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Cary Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre is a beautifully crafted and well executed film whose subject matter will resonate wonderfully with fans of the genre and even entertain many that don’t sit so well with classic English romances. The film follows the title character from her privileged but torturous beginnings in a wealthy relatives care before moving […]

“X-Men: First Class” HD Trailer Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence

Posted: February 14, 2011 at 11:16 am   /   Local, Movie Trailers

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 […]

First Look at “X-Men: First Class” Cast in Costume

Posted: January 18, 2011 at 3:29 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

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 […]

Keira Knightley is Now Single, Fans Rejoice!

Posted: January 14, 2011 at 2:05 pm   /   Local, Off the Wall

So here’s my opinion of Keira Knightley.  She looks wonderful in modeling shots and in magazines.  She even looks good when she is just staring at the cameras on the red carpet.  But when she smiles she just looks like she is in pain.  I’m sure she is a lovely woman.  That’s just how I […]

Peter Jackson and “The Hobbit” Are Officially Greenlit

Posted: October 18, 2010 at 12:53 pm   /   Local, Movie News

I’m sure a lot of you were sure this day would never come. I wouldn’t blame anyone for believing it wouldn’t happen. This production has been pretty crazy since the beginning. The film has seen Peter Jackson courted originally after the success of Lord of the Rings. It was then put on the shelf after […]
