Sucker Punch...a spiel

Okay, so I love movies. I know, I know, its no secret if you know me. But if you don't, well now you do. And to me a movie needs a good music, good characters, and a good plot. Sure, it needs small other things but it if it has that then I'm usually enthralled by it.

So guess what movie I watched on Sunday and am going to go to again tonight? Yes, Sucker Punch. Good  readers, you get a metaphorical cookie. I knew I was going to like this movie as soon as I saw the trailer so many months back. And I was right. I was wrong about one thing, this movie is no happy camper movie. So bring lots of tissues. I'm not one to bawl during movies but I did in this. Be warned.

So what makes this movie so great. Well the characters are well done. Well acted, well written. I was surprised with Vanessa Hudgens role and how well she actually pulled it off. I liked Emily Browning before but she brought it up a notch in this for me. I was also really surprised by Jenna Malone. I had no idea she was in the movie until I saw her name in the credits. Wow. Just wow. I won't tell you who she played because I want you all to be surprised. And having to guess is sort of fun.

The music was so good. It went well with everything from feelings to the action around it. And I so bought the soundtrack and have been listening to it constantly. :) It's love, I tells ye. I did go in thinking it was a musical (which it isn't) but I wasn't disappointed. I had read that Emily had to sing so I assumed, but she does sing in the soundtrack and is really really good.

This movie is not for kids. It's dark. It's violent. But its amazing all the same. The plot is creative, its unique and fun. It's a friendship movie, its a movie of personal pain and strength.

Let's just say that I'll be buying this as soon as its available.

GO WATCH IT...oh and if you're afraid of Vanessa Hudgens being all kiddy or whatever, she isn't. She actually did a good job. This is Mental House non musical, not High School Musical.
