"Sucker Punch': GIRLS IN THE MATRIX? HELL YEAH!

"Sucker Punch", the latest film by writer-director Zack Snyder ("300", "Watchmen") and is his first film that's based on his own source material.

This kick-ass popcorn epic is an action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl (Emily Browning) whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality.

Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary.

Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (a surprisingly good Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).

The girls engage in Live-action-Anime style warfare against everything from giant samurais to zombie Nazi soldiers,. Forget NEO's classic "Guns...lots of guns" line. These pixie fem fatles cut down armies of hostiles with a virtual weapons arsenal.

Together, with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), they flip wigs and snap necks all the way to freedom...or do they?

If not for anything else, go to hear the awesome soundtrack featuring bad ass electronica remixes of ANNIE LENNOX, BJORK and others. See this in theaters NOW. It's worth it.


RATED: PG-13

Ticket WORTH: FULL PRICE. Just pay it.

Rental?: Oh hell yeah.

BUY THE DVD?: Oh hell yeah. With all the bells & whistles.

Zack Snyder's 'Superman': Matthew Goode is Rumored Frontrunner

By Fandango's: Erik Davis on November 22, 2010 at 2:03 PM

The other day we told you how Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder were gearing up to look at hundreds of potential actors for the role of Clark Kent/Superman in the next Man of Steel movie, which is set to begin production this June. There's somewhat of an accelerated pace on this project because they have to be in production on a new Superman movie by a certain date or else Warner Bros. may have to forfeit the rights, which means we're probably going to have a steady dose of Superman stories over the next few weeks.

Matthew Goode

Could the studio be looking to lock in their man before the holidays? A new report suggests just that, as the rumored frontrunner is now Matthew Goode, who starred in Zack Snyder's Watchmen adaptation as Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias. So, yeah, the guy does bring a little superhero clout to the table, and he certainly looks the part of a clean-cut, well-built wholesome Man of Steel, despite the fact that the majority of you would rather see Smallville's Tom Welling in the role (according to the 100-plus comments we received from our Superman post the other day).
Chances are Goode is just one of the many people they're looking at for the part, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions and immediately freak out, even though, on paper, he does seem like a suitable-enough match, especially considering his experience on Watchmen with Snyder.
What do you think? Is Matthew Goode a…good choice for Superman?
