The Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man’s own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

The genesis of the iconic and legendary film Planet of the Apes (1968)!

James Franco… man the guy is so hot he can sell an inverted crucifix to the pope. Undeniably one of the “in demand” actors in modern cinema. The guy’s got the looks and he can act.

Now that that’s out of the way we can talk about the film and the spectacular effects. The Apes are the stars here, fuck all the humans. Not including the wonderful effects team that brought this film together and displayed their talent.

Caesar aka Andy Serkis (Gollum) stole the show! along with his CGI primal mates. I loved how the writers tied-up the “launch” and left the film open ended. Leaving room for a “possible” part 2.

The story also has a Monkey Shines (1988) element to it. Seeing John Lithgow made my heart pitter patter. That crazy old man!

And there were some surprises too Tom Felton gets what he deserves and Brian Cox = a strict douche again. They represented so many of us who take things for granted, being the proud race that we are. One day we too shall be humbled.

The chaos and theory was admirable. The demise of the world may come in any form size or number (rise of the zombies, rise of the robots, rise of the aliens, rise of the apes etc.). Splendid production quality that does not disappoint.

Funny thing: They ate cookies more than they did bananas! (was there even a banana?) SEE: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011) to find out why.

I do hope they make a (the rumored) sequel…

The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011)

A documentary about branding, advertising and product placement that is financed and made possible by brands, advertising and product placement.

Morgan Spurlock, Super Size Me (2004) ,is back with a vengeance this time hitting Hollywood and media marketing!

Edu-fuckin’-cational! Film makers should/will learn from this little expose on the industry. It’s a harsh reality of selling… out.

Mane ‘n Tail - fuck my dad loves that shit. For humans and animals, spectacular.

The big named corporations knew this was trouble at the Hollywood seas, and yet there were a few kind/trusting/willing to take a chance companies that held their own.

The film in itself is like a TV type docu/expose. Simple and straight to the point. The highlights are scattered throughout the film. The climax was a bit weak but the point was sent to audiences.

I really had a blast seeing the inner working of selling out. Having worked in mainstream media makes it even funnier. Fuckin’ sell outs.

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR OR SEE - if told to you by others.
