What I learnt from.. Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Great movie! Didn't go for long but glad it kept the action going and the storyline true to the original story of Planet of the Apes.

The Hangover 2

POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SENSITIVE TO REVIEWS
So don't look at the below picture if you think I might spoil the movie for you. I'm not giving the whole storyline away but the similarities to the first one are just too obvious to ignore. There was no "Hey let's make it so they don't find the guy" or "let's add MORE penis jokes". I don't even see why the Doug character was in it.



I went to see The Hangover 2 today. I liked the first one and even though I laughed at the second I couldn't help but feel like I had pretty much watched the first movie again but in a different city with slightly different scenes. It's still funny in parts so go see it. The end photos always make me laugh the most.

Suckerpunch

(This was my reaction when I saw the trailer.)

I first saw the trailer for Suckerpunch a few months ago. I think it was through imdb.com but I could of randomly found it. The trailer blew my mind. I watched it 3 or 4 times and then downloaded it for my ipod so I could watch it a few more times during the night.

The movie storyline is something about some institutionalized women who try to break out but they imagine different worlds to escape the world they're in. They imagine dragons, samurais, nazis (possibly zombie nazis!?), guns, swords, bombers, mechas. I also saw there was a few dance numbers and some awesome slow motion fighting scenes.

Zack Synder basically just made a movie with all his favorite things in it. It should be every geek girl's or guy's dream world. I think it's going to be a great movie. It's going to be for a very small niche of people who are into those sorts of things and everyone else won't be able to follow it. Much like Scott Pilgrim with it's small videogame bits in it that not everyone would of got. I can't imagine my Mum watching Suckerpunch and enjoying it.
