Watchmen Review #849

I know, I know -- everyone and their mothers has reviewed Watchmen. But so many of those people are bitter, jaded monsters! Wouldn't you want to read a review by Zach Oat, fair and balanced journalist? ...I'm kidding, I don't have a balanced bone in my body. If you want to read my review anyway, click below to get the deets at TelevisionWithoutPity.com. Or just read my buddy Sean Collins's, which is probably much better. See? Fair and balanced.

Who Photographs the Watchmen?

Photographer. Physical Trainer. Coffee entrepreneur. Clay Enos is all of these things, and he put all of his skills to use as the set photographer for Watchmen, shooting portraits of the cast and crew, training Jackie Earle Haley and Malin Akerman and creating a limited run of Nite Owl-themed organic coffee. I talked to the photog about his many skills, and his new book, Watchmen Portraits. Check out the interview at TelevisionWithoutPity.com!

A Newbie's Guide to Watchmen

I've been a fan of Watchmen since my brother and I coincidentally gave each other copies of the graphic novel for Christmas 15 years ago. And while DC sells more copies every year, I know that some of you out there have no idea what this movie is about, beyond the fact that there are costumed superheroes, and they're all sad. Over at TelevisionWithoutPity.com, I've created a guide to the world and characters of Watchmen, based on what we know of the movie and what already exists on the page. Check it out, and cross your fingers the movie will be as good as the book...

2009: A Space Odyssey

Man, there are a ton of sci-fi movies coming out next year, not to mention fantasy and horror. I just wrote up January through April, and it's already a pretty sizable list, including such biggies as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, the next Underworld and, of course, Watchmen. And I haven't even hit summer yet! Check out my list of this spring's genre movies at MoviesWithoutPity.com!

Fly the Unfriendly Skies

That Passengers movie looks pretty interesting. Not because of the plot, which seems like a fairly straightforward "there's more here than meets the eye" conspiracy tale, but because of the cast. Besides Anne Hathaway's Oscar buzz-slash-romantic woes and Patrick Wilson's impending Watchmenization, the supporting cast is a veritable who's who of journeyman actors from both the big and small screens.

Alan Moore of 20 Years Ago is Okay With Watchmen Movie

So, you know how Alan Moore hates the fact that there's a Watchmen movie? Or any movie based on any comic he's ever done? Well, apparently, back when Watchmen had just come out, he was not only totally down with a movie version, he didn't seem to mind if the writer took a few liberties. Hmm... what could have possibly happened that would have changed his mind? Read all about it at MoviesWithoutPity.com!

What We Talk About When We Talk About the Watchmen Movie

So I told you what happened in the 25 minutes of Watchmen footage I saw, but I didn't tell you how I felt about it. My boss at Movies Without Pity, Dan Manu, and I sat down and talked about our feelings, and then we talked about Watchmen. This is the Watchmen part.

I Watches the Watchmen Movie

I don't know how this happened, or what I did to deserve it, but on Monday night, I got to go see 25 minutes of the upcoming Watchmen movie in New York. Director Zack Snyder and original comic artist Dave Gibbons were both in attendance, and the footage they dropped on us was unbelievable. I've spoken to people who were less-than-thrilled with it, but as long as you accept the differences of the mediums, I don't see how anyone could really be disappointed. Check out my detailed (seriously) description of all 25 minutes at MoviesWithoutPity.com!
