Attending the world premiere of "Homefront" at Planet Hollywood

Marquee for world premiere of "Homefront" at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas

Last night I tagged along with Michael as he escorted Jaymes Vaughan and James Davis (of Chippendales and the Amazing Race) to the world premiere of the new film "Homefront" starring Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth, written by Sylvester Stallone.

I've attended only a couple of premieres before, and this was a TERRIFIC first class event. All four of the movies' stars attended the premiere, and the crowd was electric seeing their favorites.  Planet Hollywood knows how to handle a premiere!

There was a VIP cocktail event (food, wine, what's not to like?) which served as a "holding area" for the celebs attending before they headed down an escalator to walk through a sea of fans to the red carpet.

As we entered the theater, we grabbed some wine and popcorn made available to the guests and settled in for the adventure. The audience had a great time taking the ride of "Homefront" and so did I.  A premiere audience is always so good.  They WANT to have a good time.  And we did!

You can check out the trailer at the end of this post.

Yep - you have to have tickets to a premiere

Why yes, that IS wine and popcorn for the film. How civilized!

I enjoyed the film. Quite the adventure.  I recommend it.
