Today was an awesome day. I woke up at the crack of dawn, and went to the Arnold Palmer PGA tournament. I stood five feet from Tiger Woods and watched him play golf. Golf is quite possibly one of the most boring sports ever invented by human kind. It was interesting to watch for about thirty minutes. But I endured for Scooter's sake. After much time in the hot sun we left the tournament and went home. Relaxed by the pool for a few hours and took a nap. Then the day got awesome. After months of anticipation the day had arrived. Sucker Punch came out in theaters.
This movie was absolutely, mindblowingly amazing. It was such a complex movie, hours later my mind is still racing. On the surface it looks like a ridiculous, overly CGI action movie. But it was so much more. Zack Snyder is quite the genius. He skillfully paired an intense and unexplainable story line of darkness and alternate reality with so of the most intense, bizarre and original action sequences I have ever seen in my life. The idea that brought the whole movie together was that You have the power. You have all the weapons you need to survive and endure anything. You are strong no matter what you think. I can really relate to this idea, unfortunatley I can't transform my problems into reanimated, steam-powered WWI German soldiers and shoot the hell out of them. Never the less it was still an awesome movie.
The soundtrack was especially amazing. There was two great covers: Sweet Dreams Are Made of These and Where Is My Mind. The original scores were so perfectly fit to the movie that it added a whole new dimension to the movie. I saw one of the world's most famous athletes play today, and stood three feet from him. But I could care less. This movie was life changing.
On another awesome note, my favorite actress was it in. Jena Malone. She was in Donnie Darkko (favorite movie) and now in Sucker Punch (new favorite movie) and I now discover that she has a band, and she makes beautiful music. Here is a great one I found:
It's been a wonderful day.
