This weekend promises something fairly exciting! Release of Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch... This is the first of the 15 'must-watch' movies of the year I am eagerly looking forward to (entire list: http://bucksandcorn.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-beckons.html) and I am quite sure the wait would have been worth it! Baby Doll, Sweet Pea, Blondie, Rocket, these are just a few of the character names that the movie is going to throw at us, and if you have watched the trailer then you would be very well aware that these girls are going to be no pushovers. Lots of bang bang and boom boom await as the ladies prepare to fight their way out of an asylum in style. Zack Snyder's role in such kind of a genre has not been bad at all. His directorial works notably include Dawn of the Dead (2004), 300 (2007) and Watchmen (2009) and what will follow after Sucker Punch is nothing less than the next Superman movie. So we got a perfect director, a neat cast, an interesting story with a much more interesting 'alternate reality' plot to it, and now all we need are for these pieces to fit together beautifully so as to let Sucker Punch score well at the box office.
The weekend will also mark the first $100 million hit for the year at the box office. And it will be Johnny Depp ruling again though this time under the guise of the chameleon Rango. The unlikely second movie to reach that mark would be Adam Sandler's Just Go With It that has shown remarkable long legs to be only about $2 million short of touching $100 million at the US box office. So a weekend to look forward and a lot to talk about next time...
