Battle LA: I enjoyed it a lot… I thought it was very well done. It felt like you were watching someone play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but it was fun. It even had the short vehicle stage. Overall it was a great recruiting effort for the US Marines. Which is a good thing, so I don’t begrudge them that at all. But where is the movie about soldiers where they sit around and wait all the time? Like in real life?
Sucker Punch: Distill all awesomeness and unfiltered imagination and mix in heavy metal and hot chicks… and that about sums up Sucker Punch. The phrase Eye Candy doesn’t cut it… it’s Eye Crack… Zack Snyder did it… he made Crack for your Eyeballs. I can’t go into any detail, because I’m still blown away by it. Fight Choreography is something that Zack is very good at, not only that, but he’s very good at actually showing you the fight. Not like some movies where there is so much happening you can’t tell what’s going on (GI JOE) but he actually shows you the fight. Like his previous masterpiece “300”, this one is going to rock you. It’s required viewing. You have to go see this one. ASAP.
And it had one of my favorite actresses, Michelle Hernandez, too.
Will be seeing SuckerPunch tomorrow…
I have been anxiously awaiting this one.

Bourne Supremacy also had some fighting where we couldn’t see the action. . . It’s like they suspended a camera on bungie cords and then let it sling shot around the set while the actors fought.
I liked Sucker Punch, I just thought it dropped off pretty sharply after the first half or so. Action was top notch, lots of cool firepower, just kind of a weak ending.
