Constant Watchings.

Again, I apologize in the latency of updates. I was going to write my expectations of Elektra, but on the opening night, I heard so many "It Sucks" my heart fluttered and the inspiration died. I am also having a lot of trouble writing up my next two reviews, as they are very similar for one reason. I haven't decided to separate them in two posts, or make a double review... But they are coming, and one of the movies actually just came out!

But on to other news, and the real reason of this post. This has brought a rather BIG smile to my face, as it is one of my favorite Graphic Novels. I've also heard very good things about David Hayter, the writer, and how he has made the Screenplay as close to the Novel as humanly posable. This is an odd thing though, ad it was just the other day that me and my friend were discussing Constantine, and I mentioned that The Watchmen would be an awesome to film movie.

Constantine, coming a week this Friday. I have never read the Graphic Novel, though I heard VERY good things about it. This fact of course, may make my opinion of the movie slightly skewed from someone who has read it. But I really don't think that's the point of Comic/Book movies. I believe that, more so than to enthrall old fans with characters they know on the silver screen, the movies are made to draw in a new fanbase. How many people have read The Lord of the Ring since the movies. Before then I could honestly say I never saw the book on the shelf of my book store, but now, there are two racks reserved for the different styles of the book, and any other Tolkien story the stores can get a hold of.

But the book aside. I am actually looking forward to this. As I know of, this is really the first Graphic Novel to jump the big screen since the Comic Book Movie fad boomed in with X-Men. And Keanu Reeves defiantly looks like a good pick for this role, with his Action/Sci-fi background of the Matrix, he is no stranger to the philosophy of Religion, and the kick ass style of a warrior. This is a man who went from being a brainless Cali-Surfer in a time traveling Phone Booth, to being the savior of humanity in a world of virtual reality. The man defiantly has some skill.

So, High expectations for Constantine, ecstatic for more Watchmen info, and two new reviews coming soon.


IN OTHER NEWS!!! This is not a joke, Nick, again a bit behind in the ways of the world, have taken in the "Classics to DVD" trend, and is starting it's Rewind Collection with Clarissa Explains it All. I suggest anyone who wants to see the GOOD nick shows again buy this, so that they won't decide against releasing
