Starring: Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac, Jon Hamm and Scott Glenn
Here We Go: Babydoll (Browning) is sent to a shady asylum where she teams up with other patients and plans an escape. Sure, at the root of this movie there is definitely a disturbing foundation where girls are taken advantage of and politics and money mean more than the moral high-ground. But the way that this movie shifts from reality to fantasy, and takes the girls out of their vulnerable roles into being deadly warriors, just makes it all eye candy. Reality is a dark 1950s world that looks touched by Tim Burton. Fantasy is world of action packed, robot slaying and full-on combat with some guidance from a sensei-like Scott Glenn. Mix together an awesome soundtrack, sexy women battling it out with guns and swords, and a larger than life fantasy world, and you end up with a pretty hot movie.
Bottom Line: If you like an action packed movie that doesn't follow the typical prototype, this is the movie for you.
