I saw a giant poster for this movie as I was leaving the theater after seeing Tron Legacy and wanted to know more. Frankly, I don't think I'll be disappointed. Sucker Punch is scheduled to come out early next year, and I hope, will kick ass, in a totally girly cutesy don't mess with me way of course. The movie has a got a big name to back it up - Zack Snyder who did 300, and Watchmen, directs the film.
Not only that, it's very deliciously steampunk (Oooooo I'm getting tingles) and I love the aesthetic and artwork already posted for this movie. I have hopes that this movie will also be very visually pleasing (like the Warrior's Way).
Anyways, here's the synopsis from IMDb:
An action fantasy set in the vivid imagination of a young girl 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. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls -- the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (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). Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey -- if they succeed -- will set them free. Written by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Cirque Berzerk is in town at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. So I'm kicking off my new year with this post-rave, post-gothic show that LA Times quoth, "The sort of spectacle Tim Burton would dream up if he quit film and joined the circus." I've never been to the circus before, but I'm stoked for this one, where you can come early to eat food, stay late to hang out with the cast, and the suggested attire is circus fabulous! Oooo I can't wait to take pictures, because it looks amazing! hehehe. Check it out here.
