Upcoming Movies This Week


Friday

Watchmen
The first big movie of 2009 hits theatres (normal and IMAX) this Thursday night at midnight. A few years back, Time Magazine made a list of the greatest English-language novels of the 20th century, and The Watchmen was the only graphic novel on the list, Word is that this adaptation is extremely faithful, and the scenes I’ve seen in trailers hold true to that. As does the running time, which IMDB currently lists at 2 hours and 43 minutes.
