Howard and I both recommend “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” — exciting and well made. Muir Woods is a location and the Golden Gate Bridge and its fog is practically a character. Don’t be late — it gets off to a fast start and packs in a lot of back story in the first few minutes. Don’t leave when the end credits start to roll… The set-up for the sequel starts after the first few credits. The nasty neighbor (played by Stargate’s neurotic nerd Rodney) goes back to work after his chimp-inflicted injury. Keep in mind that earlier in the movie we saw the lift-off for the manned Mars mission in the background. I predict that Charleston Heston was one of the astronauts on that mission. LOL!
