And how v interesting, I had no idea that the book was like that. A friend of mine told me that the same author actually wrote A Bridge on the River Kwai (whoa nelly). And YES to the series - SO GOOD! I seem to recall excellent scenes of an ape Washington DC.a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-89439191277811961932010-09-30T01:55:17.445-07:002010-09-30T01:55:17.445-07:00Ah Planet of The Apes...

This is my all time favourite movie and, I think, perhaps the only film where the author of the preceding book has admitted that it's film conversion has taken the original idea and improved on it! (the book was actually closer to the 2001 film than the 68 and also had the apes far more advanced with cars and aeroplanes)<br /><br />The fun doesn't end with this film though. The remaining films in the series don't hold the same weight but they, together, make for one of the greatest stories told in cinema history.Daniel Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401365131196109590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-7046914323354959102010-09-18T20:19:54.635-07:002010-09-18T20:19:54.635-07:00Just love this movie....one of my favourites and C...Just love this movie....one of my favourites and Charleton Heston is my favourite actor too....except for his gun views!Veenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929547845937890171noreply@blogger.com
