Watchmen is touted as one of the best graphic novel adaptation, and it lives up its name. In a way, -it’s marvelous- (oh wait, shouldn’t use that word), it’s D-li-C-ous (pardon the lame joke). From the same director of 300, another good graphic novel adaptation, Watchmen stays true to its source and delivers a stunning graphical presentation. The graphic part must be emphasized, though. It’s a true R-rated movie…

Slumdog Millionaire is an Indian movie with a twist, a British twist to be exact. It’s unlike any normal Bollywood movie you’ve ever seen. Produced by British filmmakers, gone are the standard Cinderella theme, replaced by a shocking focus on Indian poverty and minority life. In short, this movie is worthy of an Oscar, it’s that good.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a drama movie which tells the story about Benjamin Button’s life. Benjamin is a special person who grows younger instead of older. The movie is an adaptation of a short stories with the same title. It gives a great lesson about optimism and life values, and the actor performances in the movie are great.

The Day The Earth Stood Still is a remake of an old movie with the same title. The trailer of this movie shown a lot of promise, showcasing only the no-so-many action scenes. The actual movie, however, isn’t all that flashy. The movie only shone on the visual effect department, but lacks on the story and the pacing. And the title isn’t about earth’s fighting, but more like a disappointment near the end of the movie. The earth stood still with all the technology disabled.

Heroes, an NBC TV series, is back after the writer’s strike hit second season. The first season of Heroes was a blast, and thanks to the writer’s strike, season two was mediocre at best. Season three is split into two volumes, Volume 3: Villains and Volume 4: Fugitives. Volume 3 is over for this season and to sum it up, it’s disappointing.
