Jason and David took us to see Sucker Punch as my birthday present (well, and they also got me the new Pokemon game) today ...

... Okay, this movie is in the same eye-candy, wacky plot that may or may not hold together but who cares it's cracktastic genre as Repo! The Genetic Opera, 300, and Sin City. In fact, take those movies, add a tiny dash of Girl, Interrupted as directed by Tim Burton, swirl in about half a cup of Moulin Rouge and some steampunk, then add a tablespoon of Lord of the Rings, and you have now created Sucker Punch.

It was fun. But kind of not. But then, very much so. I would not call it good, exactly; it was highly entertaining and really pretty to look at. I wish the dialogue had been better, but otherwise I have no issues. I even enjoyed the plot holes.

Also, at my mother's, I saw just enough of How to Train Your Dragon that I want to watch the whole thing now. I asked the Zweeble how it ended, and he gave me a pretty decent run-down, but I still want to see it.

LOVED Sucker Punch.
Yes. It was a ridiculous movie. But I adored it!

There's really something about a movie or a book or a TV show where it looks like they got to a certain point and laughed maniacally before yelling, "WHY THE HELL NOT?!" and then just went for it. It's fun!

I think it was the scene where Baby Doll takes the map, throws it impossibly high in the air, then gets surrounded by soldiers and suddenly...BUNNY MECHA.

...Bunny Mecha! I loved it.
