WAS OK PRETTY GOOD !

Watchmen

Fuckin Rad! I read the graphic novel about a week before I saw the film. I was really excited (like wet in my pants excited to see this one). It seems like they really tried to stick to the novel as much as possible of course with a grown up comic book (yeah I said it) it can be as rampant as possible but with a movie you have to worry about MPAA ratings and time restrictions and what have you.
I instantly fell in lust with Alan Moore's Wathcmen and not just the story line and dialogue either also Gibbon's interpretations of the characters in his own artistic form. So you can understand how elated I was to be sitting in the theater waiting for Watchmen to impress me.
A wonderful job at recreating a new type of 80's alternative world, with the right casting was intoxicated euphoria. They didnt bother to leave out the semi soft porn relations between main characters as well. Hey they had an obligation to stick to the story right?
Of course there were little side stories that were left out of the film but thats for obvious reasons considering the the film was about 2 hours and 45 minutes long. If you have actually read the book and then watched the movie you will be absolutely entertained through out all of the time but if you feel like its just not your nerdy thing to dive into then don't bother wati until it comes out on video. We had a person out of our party who started snoring through the film and ending up getting the boot. Haha
But if even if you dont want to watch the film you need to desperately read the book. Even if you don't like reading do it I mean come on it also has pictures.

Persepolis

I was enraptured through out the entire film , many subtitles due to most of the dialogue being in French . I'm sure if subtitles happens to be too much for you this isn't the kind of film you would truly understand. It does happen to be available in English as well.
A very despairing realistic story with an enchanting main character named Marjane to lead the story of Iran during her lifetime. If you do end up watching it make sure to do some diving into info about the release of course a movie like this wouldn't be as much fun without its controversy.

Oldboy

AHH what a refreshing movie to watch! If you get the chance go for it! It's caused an itch to watch the whole trilogy of vengeance movies that Chan-Woo Park has directed. I pretty much called the ending but still a very grasping tale.
