I read/watched multiple mediums of media today on my day off…so here are those reviews.
Watched “Race to Witch Mountain” and enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for The Rock and cute kids saving the world. What can I say. Also watched “Appaloosa” and wasn’t thrilled. Moments of greatness followed by boring moments of uninspired drivel. Then I threw “Cagney and Lacey” season 1 into the DVD. I fell in love with those very attractive (aka HOT) detectives. Is that weird? Sometimes I wonder if I’m too honest here but I’m forging ahead. Because the project ain’t gonna write itself. Honestly.
Book review below!
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well. Watchmen is a comic book/graphic novel like any other. Viewing it today after all my comic book reading days that is. When it was published I’m sure it rocked the world and changed everything. However…it didn’t do it for me. Sure, it’s got a solid plot, great characters and one heckuva history to tell. Yes, it’s got a compelling storyline and without question is a excellent addition to the comic book genre.
I enjoyed reading it and may end up purchasing it someday. I enjoyed the ending with bittersweet feelings since a character or two gets offed. I agree with those that say all comic book fans should read this sucker. It is a great foundation builder and excellent introduction to the great dark and fun world of graphic novels.
