It’s kind of funny how in the same day, I met the “War for the Planet of the Apes” cast (Andy Serkis, Steve Zahn, and Amiah Miller) and director (Matt Reeves) at […]
War for the Planet of the Apes
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
There’s a lot happening in “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” which takes place many years after the events in “Rise.” Caesar (Andy Serkis covered in CGI) has started not only […]
