'Zero Effect'
Written by Scott Wood
"Zero Effect"
I remember a time when Ben Stiller was an ambitious actor. He was part of a wonderful ensemble cast in Neil Labute's "Your Friends and Neighbors". He played a heroin addict in "Permanent Midnight", which while not a great film, was definitely a serious acting role for Stiller. And with Jake Kasdan's "Zero Effect", Stiller gets the task of setting up the entire film for us. His monologue exposition of Darryl Zero (Bull Pullman) establishes the tongue-in-cheek tone of the film perfectly. It is sad when an actor who has the ability to pull off a mission as arduous as this has relegated himself to acting in stupid comedies like "Dodgeball" with the same stupid character over and over again. Stiller has skill. Why he chooses not to use it is beyond my comprehension.
'Zzyzx'

It looks as though (at the time of this writing) Scott has cornered the market, so to speak, on movie reviews that begin with the more obscure letters of the alphabet, Z, X, and Q. So, I'm proud to present my first review of a film starting with the letter Z, and rather surprisingly, it doesn't contain the word ‘zombie'.
