Another Take By Zac: Film Review: TRON: Legacy

Posted: December 17, 2010 at 4:30 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

TRON: Legacy returns the 80’s property to the screen with incredible visuals, a magnificent score, fantastic 3-D, inventive action, and an attempt at sci-fi world building that is ambitious and interesting but falls a bit short of being entirely clear or fascinating. Picking up 20 or so years after the original film, Flynn had gone […]

“Ouija” Movie to be an Action / Adventure

Posted: December 16, 2010 at 12:19 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

Posted: December 12, 2010 at 4:39 pm   /   Film, Local

After months of a heavy onslaught of marketing, Tron: Legacy hits theaters this Friday 28 years after the original graced the big screen.  I recently checked out Tron on DVD for the first time, and I must admit, I was not impressed.  The idea and visuals are cool, but it is certainly dated and lacks […]

“Narnia” Tops the Weekend Box Office

Posted: December 12, 2010 at 1:38 pm   /   Film, Local

To say the weekend box office this weekend was weak is an understatement.  The weekend’s two new releases were The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Tourist which saw a rating of 50% and 20% on rottentomatoes respectively.  So the question was if the combined star power of Depp and […]
