Managed to catch a few movies over the past week, hits and misses here and there so here goes:

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - HIT! Heartwarming storyline & characters, awesome effects. Watch it even if you aren't a fan of the sci-fi genre.

Hercules - MISS! I have no idea why this show was even made, or why The Rock even bothered. More suited to be a direct to DVD B-grade movie IMHO. Even his (relatively) hot Amazonian sidekick couldn't sway my hormone-fuelled opinion on this.

Defenders of the Galaxy - Now I wasn't too eager to watch this 'cos I actually never heard of them, let alone read the comic so I actually walked in with zero expectations, half expecting a lame storyline and stale humor which we've been bombarded ever so frequently in the latest Marvel comic to movie adaptations. But my oh my, was I surprised.. I actually enjoyed it. HIT!

P/S - Yeah I know 3 reviews in one single short post. I'm getting lazy but hey at least I'm trying to keep this blog alive right?
