Glamor, mystery, sexy banter, good clothes and a super cute dog = best of times.

The Darjeeling Limited

This movie is underrated, imo. Yes, Wes Anderson's style is again showing quirky for the sake of being quirky. But the more I watch it, the more his style melds with the story he's telling, and I appreciate it. And it's set in rural India. Along with all the agreements made, best line is when they ask their mother why she didn't attend their father's funeral and she says "Because I didn't want to."

Read the book, read read the book

The most valuable thing offered by the new Watchmen film by the Snyders is it's ability to draw more readers to Alan Moore's original graphic novel. Aesthetically the film is brilliant, and gratifying to those who have waited years to see these characters on the big screen. However, the story itself, and the truths that Moore goes to great lengths to expose, are best digested by reading the book. The pacing is more appropriate, and the greater depth of character provides deeper insight into the motivations behind all events. It's crafted to reveal itself slowly, and may require multiple reads, which doesn't translate well (or at least completely) into a motion picture experience. In sum, the extent of what Watchmen has to offer is full and compelling, and so, if you liked the movie, read the book!

Good review here.
