JUPITER'S CROWN

So for many months, I have been wanting to open up an account with a blog site so I can impart my knowledge, comments, opinions and reviews on movies, music, life and more. So here it is! If you want to know a little bit more about me, I suggest you check out my Deviantart page (to see some of my artwork) and The Freak Show (to find out what I do when I get bored).

First off, I might as well begin by giving a shout-out to WATCHMEN. I saw this film last weekend and I thought it was great. The film was incredibly faithful to the graphic novel it was based on...maybe a little too faithful, in fact. The alternate 1985 universe both the movie and novel depict may seem somewhat dated and perhaps not as relevant to people today as it was almost 25 years ago, but that's the last thing to worry about in a film that packs an epic story of six vigilante superheroes and their origins, relationships, and fates into a disturbingly violent, yet ultimately satisfying eye-popping visual spectacle. Trust me...you don't want to miss this one! Why would you, why with all the graphic violence and nudity? And if times are tough to be dishing out money at the theater, well at least the 165 min. runtime more than makes up for that and is worth every penny...fine, every nickel. (Inflation...)
