Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Cars 2’ Starring Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine

Posted: June 24, 2011 at 4:26 pm   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

As a child I was a constant source of academic disappointment to my parents; a perennial underachiever. I didn’t get bad grades, mind you. I was solid B-student. Sure, I could have gotten an “A” with a modicum of effort but if I could pull a “B” (or the occasional “C”) with little to no […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Cars 2

Posted: June 24, 2011 at 12:05 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Movie Reviews

Cars 2 is fun, funny, fast paced, and an exciting spy movie that improves upon the original Cars and has fun with the genre its playing in; while turning in some quality set pieces that a lot of action movies wish they had. The original Cars has grown on me every time I’ve seen it […]

Movie Review — Pixar’s CARS 2 Starring Owen Wilson, Michael Caine, and Larry the Cable Guy

Posted: June 24, 2011 at 12:01 am   /   Film, Local, Movie Reviews

Pixar has created a lot of outstanding films.  The TOY STORY trilogy, THE INCREDIBLES, and RATATOUILLE are absolute classics for me.  Other Pixar films I have not loved as much.  I personally felt that A BUG’S LIFE, MONSTERS INC, and FINDING NEMO were a little too kid friendly.  Nothing wrong with it, but I just […]

Movie Review: MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard

Posted: June 13, 2011 at 3:28 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie Reviews

Woody Allen’s latest film, MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, is a love letter to the famous home of the Eiffel Tower.  The opening five minutes shows the beauty of the city with amazing shots of the city’s art, architecture, and people.  While watching this opening montage, I questioned whether the rest of the film would be as […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Hall Pass

Posted: March 1, 2011 at 1:33 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Movie Reviews

The latest from the Farrelly Brothers has a bit of an identity crisis, it doesn’t know if it wants to be crude (which rarely works here) or sweet (which does kind of work) and it never finds the right balance. A Hall Pass is a week off from marriage with no consequences for any and […]

Movie Review: HALL PASS Starring Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate

Posted: February 25, 2011 at 12:03 am   /   Film, Local, Movie Reviews

I was curious about HALL PASS.  I’m not sure how else to put it.  The trailer looked okay.  The premise definitely showed promise.  But I am not a huge Owen Wilson supporter, and the Farrelly brothers haven’t done anything good since 1998 with THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.  I left the film having mixed feelings on […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Little Fockers

Posted: December 22, 2010 at 12:00 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

Little Fockers greatly improves over the abysmal second act of this trilogy, but while I was consistently chuckling along the way, the film lacks any innovation with little we haven’t seen before in the genre; or series. Greg and Pam Focker have had a set of twins and they are close to celebrating their latest […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: How Do You Know

Posted: December 17, 2010 at 2:20 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

How Do You Know provides a couple sporadic laughs but is more or less an abysmal failure of a movie at every turn. The story revolves around Lisa, an aging Olympic softball star, who gets cut from Team USA and finds herself trying to figure her life out.  Her life happens to run into a […]
