Pleasant surprises

Two movies came out that I completely misjudged and I wanted to share my experience with you. The first of the films was Kung Fu Panda 2. I loved the first movie but the trailer for the second film really didn't grab my attention as much as the first film did. Also, I didn't know anyone that saw the film either so I never heard anything about it.

The other day, my fiance and I saw it in a dollar theater and well... It was amazing! Both of us were laughing through most of the film and we really enjoyed the story! Not to mention the animation was fantastic! We both wished we had seen it sooner but are happy that we saw it now because it should be out on Blu-ray soon so we can watch it again!

The second film I just saw yesterday with my fiance again and my parents. It was a spur of the moment and I really had no desire to see this film. It was Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Not only is the name of the film a mouthful but this story really did not need to be told... Or so I thought. I was pleasantly surprised and entertained through the entire film! There were nods to all the previous Planet of the Apes movies and the visual effects were awesome. At one point, don't worry I won't spoil anything, the entire audience got quiet and then one lady, in a whispered voice said, 'Oh my God...' It was eerie and amazing at the same time!

I highly recommend both of these Assassin approved films!
