Sucker Punch is an odd film in that it is a bit of a mindfuck and you'd have a hard time figuring out what is actually going on. It is like Inception in that there is a plot within a plot within a plot (Plotception?!?!). The main plot involves a girl known as "Baby Doll" (played by Emily Browning) who is sent to a mental asylum unjustly. The film revolves around Baby Doll's escape from the mental asylum which is actually a front, for a prostitution ring. The asylum warden, Blue Jones (played by Oscar Isaacs), forces the girls to "entertain" his male clients as he conducts his illicit activities. Baby Doll has to learn to dance seductively and rapidly for "we do not keep things that have no use." The film alternates back and forth between reality and the fantasy world but in the end you wonder if the entire thing is a fantasy of the mentally unstable Baby Doll. It sounds like a great film to watch but it has its shortcomings.

“Your fans never left you! The world hasn’t forgotten! Sure, it’s impossible, but we’ve gotta try! It’s time to play the music…”
“It’s time to light the lights.”
“It’s time to meet the Muppets…”

Walter was…special. Being a Muppet when growing up isn’t as fun as it sounds, especially when living in a human community. But he sought refuge in his family’s old Muppet Show tapes, and became the biggest Muppet fan in the world. Years passed, and that fact still hasn’t changed. During a trip to Los Angeles with his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary’s girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams), Walter discovers a dastardly plot by oil tycoon Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to demolish the Muppet Theater for the oil beneath it; though, really, it’s just because Richman is an asshole. Now Walter, Gary and Mary must help Kermit the Frog reunite the Muppets and raise $10 million in a Muppet Telethon to save their beloved Muppet Theater.

Hilarity ensues.

Avatar, not the Last Air Bender Movie that we were all expecting to crash and burn; but that's for another time. James Cameron's new movie Avatar is truly a work of ART, emphasis on the art. It's a great film as a whole but I wish to digest it from various points of view.
