a short review of 'Planet Of The Apes' 2001 dvd

Advantages: a great 2 disk set
Disadvantages: 2 many extras

the mothership of the monkey training center that is on the planet but little does Leo know it will not be much help. At the end of the film Leo finds out that he isd not just on another planet, he has travelled in time and the mothership that followed him to rescue him ended up on the planet hundreds of years before leo did, I am not going to tell you all the plot because their are more twists and at the very end a big shock for Leo on earth.

Planet Pizza

Advantages: Some laughs
Disadvantages: Might put you off a Marguerita

Planet Terror is a spoof movie in the guise of the zombie flesh eating horror flick. It is a kind of tribute by Director Robert Rodriguez to all his favourite B-movies. The story is told of a small town whose inhabitants become infected by an experimental bio-nerve gas after it is accidentally released at a remote US military base in Texas.

Of course, as cynical as I might be, I still couldn’t wait to see the movie! Tim Burton. Planet of the Apes? Bring it on! I am writing this section in anticipation of viewing the film this evening. The expectations of the fan base are a trifle high, I think it is safe to ...
