HOP - Rock of Ages and Prometheus

Two very different movies, which makes for quite an interesting hop.  I am just happy that it ended on the film it did, otherwise that would have just made the first seem even worse.

ROCK OF AGES - The audience niche?  Female teenie bopper rock junkies.  Great music, decent actors (excepting the two leads), fun choreography, horrible high cheesy factor.  Although it was almost almost worth it for the duet between Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand, and the stripper pole scene... dang were those women Cirque du Soliel quality pole dancers!

My advice to you?  Buy the soundtrack.



PROMETHEUS - Lots of theories surrounding this movie, primarily revolving around the question of God and how life on Earth came to be.  Which is of course what this movie is all about.  But you know what they say... curiosity killed the cat.  If I have learned anything from the Alien films it is this - whatever that mysterious substance is, don't touch it!

A lot of attention to detail was put into every frame of this film.  Ridley Scott is God.
