Taking a departure from Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse is Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This is not set in New Jersey, this is not taking part in the world of Jay and Silent Bob. This idea is refre… Continue

Two of my most anticipated films of '09 came out this Tuesday on DVD; Watchmen & Coraline. Being the film led consumer that I am, I contributed to the system by buying them. I wonder if they're any different from theater to home viewing? Let's dive into it...
Coraline: Two-Disc Collector's Edition… Continue
Watchmen, one of the best graphic novels finally came to the movies pleasing all its fans around the globe. It is a frenetic, mind blowing film full of action, adventure, suspense and some nice black humor. Directed by Zack Snyder, the also director of 300 made a very good job with the adaptation along with writers David Hayter and Alex Tse. The movie is long, maybe I would cut some unnecessary parts and at the beginning it has a slow rhythm but the second part runs a little more fluid. The soun… Continue

Well the wait is now finally over, the latest graphic novel film adaptation called Watchmen has finally arrive in theaters nationwide but the question is whether this movie is going to be the most accurate comic book movie that the producers have been hyping it up to be in this first edition of THE REVIEW VAULT (where I tell like it is good or bad). To be brutal and honest, Watchmen had so much potential to be a phenomenal film that in the end it became a film that you loved, hated, or both in t… Continue

Alan Moore's Watchmen is one of the greatest Graphic Novels of all time. unfournately this film doesnt have the immense intelligence of the Novel, lot of the story was cut out (Some will be added on the Director Cut Dvd) However this film is not about the intelligence side of the story, but grand emotional impact and great visual mastery.
Its one of the most beautiful things I ever seen, special effects, compostion, camera-work, and lighting are all top notch. Personally I think I felt more emo… Continue
Maybe there's something wrong with me.
I don't see Alan Moore's famous novel Watchmen as an absolute flawless form of storytelling through comics/graphic novels/whatever you call that large stack of printed material you have in the corner of your room. Perhaps novelty hasn't infected me yet when I see the pages of the most revered piece of geek literature around (next to Up Till Now: The Autobiography and the script of the unaired episode of Beast Wars, of course).
You've already… Continue
I went to go see Watchmen on opening night, and so here is my review of one of the most anticipated movies of the year...that will more than likely be forgotten by mid-June. Because while I really dug it, a lot of others didn't. And the fact that this is the first real super hero movie since the masterpiece that is The Dark Knight (fuck The Spirit) makes it seem even wors… Continue
Hey guys. You all know who I am. You know I am a film buff and for the past four years a critic and a huge comic book geek and big Watchmen fan so I figure since many of you who know me here on Spill.com know that I'm writing published reviews for the communtiy college paper I write for right now at the community college I am attending right now. So I figure since you all can't see what will be published, I thought I'll post what I wrote for the paper and post here on Spill for my review. So her… Continue
10) Weighing in at an arse-numbing 163 minutes long and featuring relentless close-up brutality in among scenes of near-rape, child murder and genocide – not to mention a supporting role for a outsized blue penis – Watchmen is unlikely to steal Slumdog Millionaire’s tagline of ‘The Feel-Good Movie Of The Year!’ But it’s searing, spectacular and simply unmissable.
9) It’s therefore a real shame Alan Moore is refusing to watch Zack Snyder’s adaptation of the twilight-of-the-superheroes classic he… Continue
Okay we've heard plenty of crappy rumor after rumor regarding the sequel to The Dark Knight. However, this little gem blew my mind and I've decided to share it with all of you to see what you guys think. So apparently, even though Chris Nolan is now busy working on his science fiction flick, Inception, and the WB claims they will give him the space he needs to whip out another money maker; the studio has a backup director just in case...

A Watchmen screening happened last night at L.A.'s AMC Century City plex. Attendees included press (including HFPA), studio folk, friends of studio folk and random-off-the-streeters. Here is one person's review:
"By far the highlight of the film is the… Continue
A couple of Cold Ones new Watchmen clips have been released. Nothing too exciting.Dan visits Veidt
This was allright, Goode seems ok as Veidt, even though his accent is a litte...off.
All in all an ok clip.

Kevin Smith's 2008 film Zack and Miri Make a Porno could potentially be a second universe within Kevin Smith's movies. We have Askewniverse made famous first by 1994's Clerks, and for the first time, Kevin Smith has made a film outside of that universe that's good enough to be able to actually start it's own saga. With Kevin Smith's trademark dirty jokes, conversations that have no point or go nowhere, and protagonists with not a hell of a lot of redeeming qualities to them, this film could pote… Continue

Evening, children. 2008 is over and what a year that was. Well, for movies anyway. Studios started doing comic book movies right, 3D was continuing on its comeback, and the slew of remakes. 2008 was a year for geeks to drool in delight as their favorite franchises hit the big screen, often with success. Not only did the supernerds like myself walk out of movies with big dopey smiles on our faces, but the film snobs (a category I also fall under) were given some great films just in time for Oscar… Continue
The Watchmen graphic novel is very hard to come by where I live. After weeks of searching book stores I ordered it online. I only just finished reading it and I must say, it is one of the most amazing things I have ever read. At that point in time. Whatmen was my most anticipated movie of 2009 and now that I have read the novel, my views on whether or not i'm looking foreward to this haven't changed. Now in this blog I won't talk about the lawsuits delivered by Fox. I will only talk about the fi… Continue
