Enjoyable? Probably not the word I would choose to describe it, but I am going to go see it.

I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night. Best movie of this year. It had everything and pulled it all off successfully. I will probably be going to see it again.

The main ape was played by Andy Serkis, of Golem from LOTR fame, so it has to be decent.

I honesty cant wait. Horrible Bosses is a competitor for the Hangover, IMO.

I haven't seen it but I hear really good things about Attack the Block is really top notch. Judging from the movies mentioned so far in this thread I'd say it fits right in.

Entertaining.

I have not seen it either. Sunny weekends are hard to come by up here, so we spent it outside all weekend.

Saw Rise yesterday. I am a fan of the original 5 and this was great! For all the die hard ape fans, check out all the little things they sneak in from all of the past movies! really neatly placed stuff within the entire movie. Some obvious, some not so obvious.
For example: Checkout the names of the apes in the cages

Post what you find, this could be fun!!!

Saw Rise of the planet of the apes yesterday I have to say it was pretty damn good easily the best film I've seen this year, which doesn't say much but they pulled it off nicely.

Only complain was SPOILER!!!!!!!!!














When the kid says THE line, it was misplaced and the actor saying it seems to take a big giant dump on Heston's grave while saying it.









I also saw Cowboy's and Aliens, it too wasn't bad a pretty good modern western.

Also saw Trevor and Dale vs. Evil came out in 2010 but easily slid under the radar and is definitely the best horror comedy since shawn of the dead.
