Villages-News.com is proud to, welcome J.R. “Jim” Zurak as a contributor. Jim will be providing Movie Reviews on some of the films gracing the screens of The Villages theaters.

The “Z-Man” has been the Producer Director and Emcee of the Dollars for Scholars Savannah productions of The Starry- Starry musical variety series for the past four years.

He has been married to his movie partner, Nancy the Magnificent, for 52 years and watched the dramatic expansion of The Villages Theater chain in the 11 years they have been Villagers. From the quaint Rialto, to the Old Mill with Stadium seating to the ultimate experience in movie comfort and enjoyment at the Barnstorm Theater. He will provide a friendly neighborhood spin to his reviews to ensure that you, your friends and family are making the most of their theater going experience. You won’t always agree with a friend but – a different perspective is always welcomed when it means  the difference between enjoying two hours or just waiting for the credits to roll. Share a bag of popcorn with the “Z”-Man. His reviews and perspective will  help making some of your “which movie should I go to see” decisions a little easier.
