Watchmen Movie...

He [Alan Moore, ftr] probably won't be kicking himself for making that decision. Zack Snyder's adaptation is faithful to a fault, but it's true to the letter rather than the spirit of the book, collapsing the latter's dense, multi-layered storytelling into a relatively conventional - if bleak - Hollywood narrative.
Interesting quick piece from the New Scientist.

Zoe Bell For The Win!!
And That Brubaker Is Not Too Shabby Either

Ed Brubaker's Angel Of Death freely available here. Each episode is about 7~10 minutes, and pretty darn well done.

Pride & Glory

Soft spot for Ed Norton (and yes, I admit it, for Farrell as well :S) + Soft spot for stories about brothers + Soft spot for stories about corruption = Decent entertainment. Gotta be in the mood though.

~5.0.
