Movie Review: ‘Dawn of The Planet of The Apes’ Starring Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman
As far as reboots of well established franchises go, Rise of the Planet of the Apes certainly ranked among the ones that was (or is, if you still haven’t seen it) very well worth your time. I certainly wish more sequels would turn out like this one. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes leads off […]
Movie Review: ‘Wrath of the Titans’: Release the…Screenwriting Dept.
Unlike most people, I don’t hold a grudge against mindless action flicks. In fact, some of my favorite movies are epic action films that don’t require a whole lot of thought involved. When I heard that a sequel to Clash of the Titans was being made, I figured I’d give it a try. The original film was a […]

Or maybe it is just that they are innocent and beautiful. Whatever the reason, Steven Spielberg’s new film […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Conspirator
Robert Redford’s latest is a fine looking and produced telling of a fairly unknown story in American history that fails to really excel to anything more than a straight forward court room drama that serves as a parallel to our modern day travails with prosecuting through Guantanamo Bay. Now you might ask how a movie […]
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
I went into the theater skeptical of yet another video game movie. Not helping my skepticism was that Jake Gyllenhaal was playing the lead in an action film. To my surprise, Gyllenhaal was not the problem. In fact, I have to say the whole cast did quite well with the flimsy storyline. Prince of Persia: […]
