Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut DVD Details

Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut DVD Details

While most of the time studios wait to double dip with DVD/Bluray extended editions for a while after the initial bare bones release, the upcoming Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut, set to be released on November 3rd, is following hot on the heels of the director’s cut we got a few months back.
This version will integrate [...]

A Comedian Joins Red Dawn

A Comedian Joins Red Dawn

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, perhaps most notable for playing The Comedian in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen adaptation, is joining the cast of the Red Dawn remake.
Variety got the scoop on Morgan’s role in the film, which seems somewhat unnecessary:
“‘Red Dawn’ follows a group of teenagers who band together to fight back when their home town is invaded [...]

Comic Book Adaptations: A Dying Breed?

Comic Book Adaptations: A Dying Breed?

Comic books have been integrated into our worldwide society for years now. When the comic strip was born with “Tintin”, the blossoming of Japanese manga (with works such as “Astro Boy’”) to the birth of the superhero with “Superman”, we cannot deny the impact they have played on our lives. The storytelling, illustrations and engaging [...]

Atomic Midterm: Mid-Year Top 10

With June now leaving us, this marks the midway point of the year. It also means Comic Con, District 9, the 2009 NFL Season (GO STEELERS), my birthday, and Christmas are all around the corner. It also means it’s time to take a look at as of right now are the ten best films of [...]

Watch the Watchmen on DVD

Watch the Watchmen on DVD

Gracing its way onto shelves on July 28th, practically a couple of days after the San Diego Comic Con International, is what in this reporter’s opinion is one of the best comic book adaptations of this decade with Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. The complex and engaging story from Warner Bros will be packed up in a [...]

Monsters Eat Up The Competition

Monsters Eat Up The Competition

Apparently the other two movies that opened along with Dreamworks Monsters vs Aliens were no threat to the ginormous animated feature. Shown not only in regular 2D but in 3D and IMAX 3D, this flick caught the attention of families across the nation as it waltzed into first at the box office for this past [...]

No More R-Rated Warner Bros. Films, Hurrumph!

No More R-Rated Warner Bros. Films, Hurrumph!

IESB.net is reporting the studio who just got into everyone’s good graces with The Dark Knight and Watchmen has decided they will no longer make their superhero/tentpole films rated R. I’m sure the fact Batman cleaned house with over a billion dollars and Watchmen will barely cross the $100 million mark had something to do [...]

Knowing Flies Past The Rest

Knowing Flies Past The Rest

The Nicolas Cage studded film Knowing took the cake for this box office weekend as it breezes past the competition. Following very swiftly on its tail are two other films that opened this weekend. The second in the trio of new releases is the Tony Gilroy film Duplicity. Starring Julia Robers and Clive Owen, it [...]

Witch Mountain Outraces Watchmen

Witch Mountain Outraces Watchmen

In a not-so-surprising turn of events this past weekend, Race to Witch Mountain breezed past the grim Watchmen.
Race To Witch Mountain, held up by Disney and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson managed to come up on top with an estimated $25 Million. The Disney induced remake stars Johnson as a cab driver who picks up [...]

Everyone Watched the Watchmen

Everyone Watched the Watchmen

Although Watchmen is an adult-orientated comic book adaptation about a masked vigilante called Rorschach who delves into the mysterious murder of Edward Blake, it still managed to rake in $55.7 million in the box office. Opening up to a rivaling record amount of sold out IMAX theatres next to The Dark Knight, it was purely predictable that [...]

Watchmen Opening Credits Online

I love Watchmen. It does too many things right for both the fans and lovers of film for anyone to consider it bad filmmaking. It’s already inspiring some good debate much like the graphic novel did twenty-five years ago and none of it is of the “it suxors!” variety.
One of the best parts of the [...]
