Monday Movie Review for old time's sake!


While both kids were @ the highschool football game with friends Friday night, Trav and I went to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". I had drug Trav to see the Help last time we went to see a movie, so I really didn't have a choice this time. Let's say I did not have high expectations for the movie...I was thinking something like this...

old school...
but I really enjoyed the movie, and the "digital stuff" wasn't cheesy!
Look at this little guy...so cute!!

look how real...




That's actually John Lithgow hugging Ceasar.
A few more actors in the movie included: James Franco and his love interest Freida Pinto {Slumdog Millionaire}
Now, it's not all cute and cuddly {just at first} and I do think Cass would have been scared, but Gavin would have loved it! There were parts when I was on the edge of my seat...Trav tapped me on the shoulder to get me back to reality. I hear "it's not that bad", but I was enjoying it and I was getting into the movie!

I think it is a great remake and there are surely more to come. It was a great way to start out the movie sequels again! I would recommend this movie for ages 13 and up!!

Happy Monday!

I have to say that would not be one I would pick. Sounds intense. I heard The Help is awesome. Need to go see it.

Looks good! Glad ya'll got to have a date night! I want to go see the Help, but will probably have to wait till it comes out on DVD.
