Fade to Zach: July 2015
http://fadetozach.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Is a sweet indie dramedy that contains a couple of great performances from Cobie Smulders and Gail Bean. To have more heart, soul, and emotion, as well as characters that are more endearing. There's more of a narrative drive rather than a slice of life. The film also touches on the problems with gender roles and the complications that pregnant women face during school, as well as in the workforce. Tuesday, July 28, 2015.

Fade to Zach: November 2014
http://fadetozach.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Channing Tatum, Steve Carell, and Mark Ruffalo give three seriously gripping performances in Bennett Miller's bleak and brutish, true crime story Foxcatcher. Mark Ruffalo escapes his frequent 'deadbeat goofball' persona and is a well put-together family man. Steve Carell buries his comic roots and turns in the first real dark and shocking performance of his career, and he does it convincingly well. There's some touches ...

Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Monday, August 31, 2015. Review] The Diary of a Teenage Girl. Donning a unique mixture of elements reminiscent of The To-Do List. And even Blue Is The Warmest Color,. This blissfully frank and very R-rated coming-of-age film The Diary of a Teenage Girl. Certainly delivers on what is advertised. San Francisco 1976, (there's bellbottoms everywhere! The narrative is less of a well-rounded story and more of a series of sexual experiences followed by di...

Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Review] Kingsman: The Secret Service. On first viewing of the trailer for Kingsman: The Secret Service. It looked like a shabby (and possibly lame) action film arriving early in the year with a wasted cast of Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Kane. But seeing it in its full splendor, it's actually a whole lot of fun. And if this sort of action outing isn't your thing, Kingsman. Wednesday, February 25, 2015.

Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Friday, October 31, 2014. Review] The Book of Life. Director Jorge R. Gutierrez and producer Guillermo Del Toro present The Book of Life. A Dia de los Muertos (Day of The Dead) celebration themed animated feature. It's a visual treat with a sort of basic story, but it still manages to impress. With a Mexican culture aesthetic and an infinitely more vibrant color palette. It also introduces a new godlike entity (played by Ice Cube) who injects s...

Franny (Hathaway), a traveling PHD student, learns that her estranged younger brother, Henry (Ben Rosenfield of Boardwalk Empire. Even makes an appearance.

Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. Top 25 Films of 2014. Aw, here it goes. There have been some complaints about Godzilla's lack of screen time, but the best monster movies always exercise restraint, which makes the creature all the more powerful when it's finally shown in all its roaring glory. Godzilla arrives when it wants to. When Godzilla steps onto the scene, it IS the climax. This film respects the beast. Stands alone. It has its own distinct id...

Fade to Zach: [Review] Dark Places
http://fadetozach.blogspot.com/2015/08/review-dark-places.html
Film reviews crafted with Michael Jordan's Secret Stuff. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Was one of the more twisted and intriguing films of last year (it ranked Top 5 in my Top 25 Films of 2014. List) This year brings another feature adapted from a Gillian Flynn novel, called Dark Places. I doubt anyone expected this to match Gone Girl. S greatness, but what's so disappointing is just exactly how far it falls short of it. The story itself isn't as shocking and batshit insane as Gone Girl. It's fairly pointle...
