I liked Watchmen all because I am a fan of the graphic novels. That’s why I got to appreciate the details and all. But given a non-fan point of view, it’s way too long and way too messy to be regarded as a good film. It’s a graphic novel supplement at best.

Now who wants to see the Director’s Cut? It’s still a couple of months down the line (release date’s on July 25) but details have been revealed about the cut that will be appearing on DVD and Blu-ray.

The cut will feature 25 more minutes of Rorschach and a few more details. Blu-ray buyers will be treated to a Maximum Movie Mode that plays a whole lot of commentary, details, and even pages of the graphic novel appearing on the side. The Blu-ray release will also feature the following:

• A feature on the mechanics and science behind Watchmen.
• A real-world timeline that examines our universe as compared to that of the film.
• The 25 extra minutes.
• Production stills and concept art.
• A look at the psychology behind vigilantism and heroism.
• A much-needed, revolutionary “Pause” feature which allows you to go to the bathroom or get a drink without missing a second of the movie.

So is it high time to invest on a Blu-ray player (or a PS3)? Maybe.

Before I continue, let me first say: OHMIGOSH!!!

Growing up with the Tintin books by Belgian artist Hergé, hearing news of it being turned into a movie by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson gave me a geekgasm.

So hearing this news that the possibility of having two of my favorite British actors star in this movie, I am completely breathless! And I know fellow fans, Alex and Flori would like another movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in it.

Sure, the Thomson and Thompson characters are supposedly detectives that look so much alike, but since the movie will be in 3D, all they will be lending in the movie are their voices and chemistry which by their own right is good as it is.

What? You haven’t read The Adventures of Tintin? Blasphemy! Okay, so you have at least watched Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz (where Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star), right? What?! No? Have you been living under a rock all this time?

Let me show you a peak of what you’re missing after the jump.

It’s neither Jap nor Pinoy, but still sugoi.

Here’s the official trailer of The Golden Compass slated for December 2007 screening (which means it’ll be showed here in RP by January next year). I do hope it’s worth the wait, as I loved the His Dark Materials Books the movie is based on.

And dabnabbit, the trailer gave me goosebumps. But then again, that’s just me. XD

Enjoy!
