I'm not that big on Snyder. To me, he's a stylist who makes amateurishly nihilistic films, but having said that, there is an appeal to slipping into his green screen worlds from time-to-time before that initial buzz wears off. I think I'll give him one more chance with Sucker Punch before I throw in the towel and make up my mind.

Snyder Does Owls
This Scott Bowles USA Today article about Zack Snyder's Legend of the Guardians (Warner Bros., 09.24.10), a 3D-animated fantasy film about owls, certainly sounds interesting to say the least. When one thinks of Zack Snyder, wide-angle orchestrations of balletic beheadings seems to be the first image that pops to mind, but as he describes, this film is something that his kids could watch.
