Rise of the Planet of the Apes Review (Video)

And... I'm done! I thought this review, the last of seven, would be super easy because it's just me talking over still pictures, but it turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. Even though it's just pictures, I tried to make it visually interesting. Oh... and I'm posting it a day early (I had planned to post a new video each week, with this one going live on Sunday, August 7th.) on the off chance that somebody was on the fence about seeing it this weekend. Hopefully my review might convince people to either go see it or stay home... you'll have to go ahead and watch it to find out what I'm recommending. Hopefully I'll think of something Apes related to post tomorrow instead.

Anyway, this ends my Planet of the Apes week. I hope it entertained you and rekindled, reignited, or started up an interest in these (mostly) wonderful films.

Planet of the Apes Week finally gets to Tim Burton's "re-imagining" of the original concept. Here is my review:

Get Your Stinkin' Paws off ME!!!

The Minneapolis Uptown Art Fair is going on this weekend, and my apartment is right in the center of it. It's super annoying because there are a billion people around and it's impossible to park or drive anywhere. While I was wandering around, however, I found a booth with a sign that said, "I'll draw anything for a dollar." So I asked him to draw me being captured by some apes from The Planet of the Apes. This is what I got:

Not bad!!

Battle For the Planet of the Apes Review (Video)

Planet of the Apes Week (which is turning out to be a long week) continues with the last of the "real" Planet of the Apes films, Battle For the Planet of the Apes. Oh, and this is just a pure coincidence, but today is also the birthday of John Huston, who appears in this movie as The Lawgiver.

Anyway, check out my review:

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes Review (Video)

Ugh. This one was a huge pain in the ass. For some reason, Youtube kept rejecting it because it violated Fox's copyright. Whatever. So I kept cutting it down and youtube kept rejecting it. So I posted it to Vimeo instead.

Anyway, here's my review of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. I hope this works:
