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...

Spider-Man 4 Villains: 4 We May See, 4 We Want

The next Spider-Man sequel is still in its planning stages, but the rumors are already flying fast and furious about who Spidey will face off with in the fourth film. I ran down who the top four rumored foes are and what they would mean for Spidey, and then I went ahead and picked my own top four bad guys I'd like to see on the big screen. (And no, Kraven isn't one of them.) Read all about them at TelevisionWithoutPity.com!

The Spirit: Some People Fear It

I'm a little nervous about the bad reviews coming out for The Spirit. Of course, the trailers have made it look bad for a while, but I was willing to wait to see them all edited together before I made a judgment. I'm still going to see it, but I'm worried no one else will, because nobody knows who the Spirit is. (And now, thanks to this movie, they won't know who he really was, because this movie seems to take a lot of liberties.) I wrote a guide to the characters for Movies Without Pity -- check it out.

Punisher vs. Iron Man: Now THAT'S a War Zone!

Is anyone really that interested in seeing Punisher: War Zone? After being unable to make it through the last Punisher movie, this looks like, if not more of the same, exactly, then definitely more of the similar. More bloodshed is good, and Jigsaw as the bad guy is good, but why not mix it up with some of the Marvel superheroes, since they're all that separate the Punisher from every other revenge shoot-'em-up movie ever made? Check out my gallery of Punisher movie crossovers I'd like to see at MoviesWithoutPity.com!
