I Feel Sucker Punched

5 comments april 4, 2011

I saw a preview screening of Sucker Punch this Friday, it premieres in Sweden this week. In preparation of the screening I decided to go into it with a fresh mind and not watching any trailers or reading any blogs reviews (I stumbled upon some feisty headlines in my RSS feed though).

Watchmen

Watchmen is Zack Snyders 3rd feature and the second one I saw this week after 300.

This friday I’ll be attending a preview screening of Sucker Punch followed by a face 2 face with director Zack Snyder.  I am not very familiar with his films (I haven’t actually seen a feature of his yet) so I would be happy to take question suggestions  for the Q/A by people who have an opinion about [...]
