Movie Review: TETRIS Starring Taron Egerton, Toby Jones, Sofya Lebedeva

Posted: March 31, 2023 at 12:07 am   /   Movie Reviews

Let’s face it: video game-to-film adaptations don’t have the best track record. For every Sonic or Detective Pikachu, there are a half-dozen adaptations that are best left unremembered. Super Mario Bros., Battleship, every Uwe Boll movie ever made…the list goes on. Some recent TV series have given us hope (The Last of Us was absolutely […]

I’m not exactly sure why, but for whatever reason the 1980s are enjoying a strong renaissance. Wherever you look, the influence of the neon decade has hovered over media, be it in TV shows (“Stranger Things,” the “Lethal Weapon” series), movie reboots (Ghostbusters, Blade Runner), hell, even some video games (Far Cry: Blood Dragon) have […]

“Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho” Looking to Add More to Already Impressive Cast

Posted: March 23, 2012 at 11:34 am   /   Film, Local, Movie News

“Psycho” is one of my favorite classic horror films.  I just love the performance from Anthony Perkins even more with each viewing, and the film has infinite replay value for me.  So I am very excited about the potential of this project.  Not just because of the subject matter, but the star studded cast that […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Your Highness

Posted: April 8, 2011 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local, Movie Reviews

Your Highness is a solid fantasy film throwback that also happens to be quite funny as it lovingly sends up the genres heyday of the 80’s. I worded that opening pitch to emphasize that I think you should view this film as a throwback fantasy film first and a comedy a close second.  That is […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Rite

Posted: January 28, 2011 at 12:01 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

The Rite is being all wrapped up to be the next exorcism movie but is in fact a meditation on psychology vs. demonic possession that is moderately interesting before it makes the decisions for you. The film is based on “real events” and follows a falling out of faith seminary student who is recruited to […]
