sucker punch (ed)

i was , as usual looking for another movie to review and of course some sort of high to kick me out of my melancholic haze and i was MAD, ABSOTUDLEY MAD!!!!! to pick on sucker punch for that effect! i was sucker punched for real. just so i warn you before hand, dont watch a Zack Snyder movie(300, Watchmen) on an empty stomach or on the brink of suicide you just might do it, (suicide i mean) through out the movie, (i hadn't done my research) i kept thinking, this is so familiar, i have seen this slow-motion/action choreography, the sudden zoom in to detail that is captivating, the grunge/ rock punk music, the amazing visual spectacle, the off-ish colour that makes you feel like you are in a straight jacket locked up in some asylum(yeah, well its the movie plot too)very claustrophobic! half the time i was catching my breathe and yet again wishing i was watching it in 3D (now surely i cant put this movie review in an all female mag, no woman could date Zack Snyder...seems the kind thats fascinated by whips, handcuff and stuff, if you get my drift)okay before i get into this movie the plot is simple at least according to IMDB: A young girl is institutionalized by her abusive stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the mental facility. NOW THE MOVIE HAS A FEW PEOPLE IN THE CAST I CANT HELP BUT SAY 'WHAAAT????!!!" our famous hot star of the high school musicals who was ,until two months ago dating Zac Effron , Vanessa Hudgens, is apart of the cast that has Emily Browning (violet in Lemony Snickets a series of unfortunate events. now that's an amazing movie) Abbie Cornish.now this movie swings as if from 1934 to the year 3000, mostly when we try to cope with this baby doll's imagination...apart from the fact that we are most times not sure if we are in an asylum, since it has long since become a brothel and the escape from it is an erotic dance performed by this here 'baby doll'to some video game created atomsphere from a World war scene to a feudal Japan, orc infested castle to kill dragons, steam trains racing against time and a bomb...man!!!!if you are a sucker for kicks and fancy graphics and a lot of fantasy action then you might love this new evolved Snyder. its a hybrid of 300 and Watchmen, just over the top, me thinks!in a way its also an all girlpower -think charlie's Angel's sort of movie with hot sexy girls dressed like go-go dancers prancing an imagined wild to fight their wildest foes all for the sake of freedom. i love the merge between fantasy and the real and also the realisation that what happens in the fantasy real is a hyperboled version of what happens in the real world. i cant help but tip my hat to Snyder's out of the box imagination in attaining the effect and message he deos rely in this here movie. the fact that when we are all faced with a really claustophobic life situation , we fight to get out and we use all we have, even our imagination!its not a movie for everyone, mark you. now make sure you go on and watch 'Pirates of the Caribean; on stranger tides' supposed to open this Friday before the world ends (you havent heard? that the world is ending on 21st may at 6pm? eh, go eat be merry and have fun!)jack Sparrow is back! yay!
