PETA Approves of Rise of the Planet of the Apes

At least some people may not like this weekend's Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but PETA surprisingly does. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes reminds viewers that animals are feeling beings who deserve compassion, and its stunning use of CGI shows that there's no need to subject apes to the stress of filmmaking. Rupert Wyatt's methods back up PETA's message that apes should be protected and respected," PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange said. We're still waiting for their thoughts on James Franco's performance. [NextMovie]
