Stories By Zach Lawrence
  • Movie Review: The Longshots

    There’s not much to say about the Longshots as a movie as a whole. It is that same “underdogs and group of misfits” facing insurmountable odds and rising to the challenge in a winning montage and overcoming adversity. Now that’s where the “Old Hat” writing ends and the mythology begins. Based on the true story…
  • Movie Review: Don't Mess With The Zohan

    There are no words. I have tried all day to write up some kind of decent review for this flick and I have nothing. If any one of you knows my style at all, I am very forgiving and can usually find something positive to say about any movie. I'm a movie buff and fan,…
  • Sex And The City Review: A Man's Perspective

    The following review comes from our east coast correspondent Zach Lawrence: Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Jungle of the Swinging Shia, The Chronicles of Narnia; the last few weeks, my girlfriend has been a hardcore trooper. So what does a man do? He owes. He owes her one, and my fellow fan boys and…
  • Movie Review: 10,000 BC

    Editors note: This review is a little late, and its entirely my fault as I accidently passed it while working at SXSW in Austin. The Following is Documented Wiki Info: The 10th millennium BC marks the beginning of the Mesolithic, or Epipaleolithic period, which is the first part of the Holocene epoch. [World population was…
  • Movie Review: In Bruges

    In my days of movie reviewing, I've always found it quite easy to come up with content and material to describe how wonderful a movie is. This is one of those rare instances where I am at a loss. To get right to the point, In Bruges was such a shockingly decent movie that it…
  • Movie Review: Definitely, Maybe Is "Definitely So-So"

    Ryan Reynolds's star has not blazed into the sky yet. Sure, he has made numerous attempts and coasted around orbit before burning out into a falling star back to earth, but his rise has not stuck. It's starring vehicles like Definitely Maybe that stunt his growth as an actor, he is unable to unleash his…
  • 27 Dresses Movie Review

    So sometimes you owe your girl one. Sometimes she puts up with an absurd slam-bang, balls out guy flick and grins the whole time without saying a word. So for you guys who this weekend got so see 27 Dresses and not Cloverfield, feel my pain. But what an aesthetic anesthetic hour and a half…
  • Movie Review: SAW 4

    The following movie review is from Zach Lawrence: Semi SPOILER ALERT!! If you've seen Saw 1, 2, or 3, then you've probably seen Saw 4. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though. With every new Halloween upon us, SAW has become a yearly tradition, a tradition we've had forced upon us. And with 5 and…
  • Top 10 Superhero Movies

    The following editorial is from Zach Lawrence. I was watching Heroes season 1 the other day. I'm enthralled. And sadly dusting myself off from lagging behind the bandwagon on what apparently everyone knew but me. We have plethoras of Heroes in the cinema, some undeserving, some exceeding what we dreamed they would be like, but…
  • Editorial: Death Of The Hollywood Superstar

    The following is an editorial by Zack Lawrence. It was sometime ago that Hollywoodland was filled to the brim and boiling over with egocentric, megalomaniacal movie stars all fired up and ready to set your living room ablaze. They were an army of few, A-Listers with twenty million dollar picture deals and blockbuster movies giving…
  • The Hot Rod Ultimatum

    The following editorial is written by Zack Lawrence. Ok, we all knew Hot Rod was going to crash at the box office worse then a spectacular wreck on Rod's moped. But I am here to vehemently defend its greatness as one of the funniest movies of the year. Not Oscar worthy, I assure you, but…
  • Top Ten Greatest Movie Endings

    I, in the past couple of years, have written more Top Ten articles then I can count for the prestigious Slashfilm. Soooooo, these flicks coming at you are the contenders for best ever. They are in my eyes terrific and great endings, a dreamy "cap it all off" nightcap of honey, warm milk and Nyquil…
  • Surviving Ben Affleck: A Career Not Gone, Baby, Gone

    The following is an editorial by /Film correspondent Zach Lawrence. Like many of you Slashfilm enthusiasts out there, I have just read the article on Gone Baby Gone by Peter Sciretta, and watched the cool trailer. While he makes all the right points in all the right places, he lacks a few aspects to what…
  • Top Ten Villains Who Never Get Recognition

    Is it that time of year again? The time when we get "The Top Ten Villains of All Time!"? Not quite. It seems to me that every year in some magazine or on some show, we get the typical list of baddies from the 60's, 70's and so on. Usually they mention the cool regulars…
