Rapper Pharoahe Monch Reviews Sucker Punch, Because Why Not?

These days everyone’s a critic. No, really : The folks at NextMovie got rapper Pharoahe Monch to review Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch for a video series entitled, appropriately enough, “Rappers Review Movies.” (Previous installments include Lil Mama on Big Momma’s House 3 — oh, the sweet poetry in that pairing — and Talib Kweli on The Fighter .)

In the liner notes for The King of Limbs the band randomly offers a “big thank you” to Barrymore, which may have something to do with fan speculation that she let them use her Los Angeles home to record the album. Or maybe they just loved Whip It too. [ NME ]
