3. Sucker Punch
Some of you, at this moment, might be wondering "Wha?", Look at this film closely...forget for a moment that it's a giant music video - which, I, regardless of that fact, still enjoyed - The main focus is the group of girls that have nothing. They are toiled with the tiny universes built for them by the people that control their world. Seemingly those few who exist outside of Babydoll's world are controlling everything. However, those people are also slaves to their specific grind, only in control of yet a slightly larger world. The true "Have's" of this world do as they please with little - if any - consequences, up to and including what I considered the antagonist that got away - Babydoll's father. The entire film is about escapism, as a film itself that we go and watch to experience escapism from our own proverbial worlds that are probably and personally wrought with any number of things that we do not have, to forget we don't have them. I'm not intending to blow your mind, if in fact it is blown (probably not). But I think most people completely missed the point of this film. Perhaps I liked it too much, and saw too much from its simple message...Who knows, maybe i'm just a perve and I enjoyed the minute amount of fanservice, in greater hopes of seeing a little more.

I'm an award winning producer of independent media, and I get to edit books, screenplays, and comics in my day to day. I love working on independent film & games, during my down time, as well as reviewing films while gobbling down milk duds (it's an addiction, I know). I've been called "Geek-Prime" among my peers for all the fandoms I work in, and I wear that title proudly. It's a passion, and an exercise in my growing profession, to get to write about what I love. Which happens to be a little of everything. But mostly film, comics, horror, games, anime, literature, and life. I do write about academic material, like politics, medicine, physics, and mathematics too. But for the most part, I like to keep things down to earth and simple. Follow me on Twitter & Facebook
