Saw “Planet of the Apes” yesterday – pleasant surprise. It had been panned so much in reviews I was trying not to read, my expectation level was low. Turns out, it was much scarier and more intense than I expected, and held my interest throughout. Tim Roth is amazing as the head general villain. The plot and characters are negligible, but if you want plot and characters, read Anna Karenina – don’t go to a summer movie with “Apes” in the title. It’s exciting and fun, things many summer movies attempt but few achieve. Also, great cameo by – well, see the movie yourself.

read Anna Karenina anyway, it’s brilliant!
Planet of the Apes is playing at the theatre where I work. To hype up the movie, a couple employees dressed up like apes. It was then that I discovered I have a fear of people dressed as monkeys. My coworkers decided to exploit this to their entertainment. There was a lot of startled jumping and falling down on my part.
Ack. Evil co-workers (to Melissa). I loved Planet of the Apes. The ending was kinda messed up but oh well. Doesn’t care what I think, now does it? 😛
