"Planet of the Apes"

i'm just curious...who wants to see the remake...i've already seen it in the cinemas cos i'm in hong kong... the only reason why i saw it was cos someone invited me otherwise i would never have gone...

Oops, posted it twice there. Errrr...it was...because I felt so strongly on the matter. Yes, that's it. It wasn't just that I made a mistake and pushed the button twice. THE LAW DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES!

Well, I've never seen Boogie Nights so I'm not apologising to him. Hehe.

The worst perfromance I've seen him give is in the Perfect Storm. Grrrrr.......

"We're starting to get a bad feeling out here skip, with Muuuuuuuurph goin' over board and the shaaaaaaaaark."

Even George Clooney was good in that by comparison.

I did write Wahlberg off until I saw him in Boogie Nights.
That guy blew all my prejudice out of the water as far as him being an actor.

He was brilliant in Boogie Nights, fantastic in Three Kings and The Yards.

I would seriously rate this guy as an actor, but I was so resistant to him at 1st, just saw him as Marky Mark.

But I am happy to say I have been proved wrong and owe that man an apology

"small, pathetic, minute, little woman" - very constructive criticism. Nicely wiped out of my mind how Wahlberg so brilliantly performed the tour de force role of Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights and ably stood proud amongst one of the 90s greatest ensemble casts without once being overshadowed. In fact, the very fact that PT Anderson put him in a "lead role" is a far greater testament to Wahlberg's blatently obvious acting abilities than I could ever give him here.

no sorry apes (you'll get my point if you watch the film)

yeah in the cinema some of those monkey noises were Piercing to the ear....GET ME AWAY FROM THE MONKEYS

MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY!!! hoohoo hoo hoo hahahahaahaha

Hey now just hold it right there. Michael Clarke Duncan is a hell of a lot more capable than Mark Wahlberg. In fact, he is actually quite a good actor. I like him anyway. Wahlberg on the other hand is a small, pathetic, minute, little woman.

The Big Hit - I just can't stand anyone not liking me!

Grrrrrrr........

Oh and Duncan actually plays a gorilla and from the trailer he seems to be evil. That means he can't play a big guy with a big heart. Don't worry, he won't be 'stuck'.

i thought some of the lines in the film were very funny (it was intentional too) but i won't spoil it...

and thank god helena whatshername is a monkey (no sorry ape) cos she is butt ugly in real life...even maybe more ugly than the ape (which is rather concerning)...

mark wahlberg is okay....
mind you i'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about estella warren....
