Finally watched the last episode of battlestar. I enjoyed it but I did feed that most of the Caprica flashbacks felt like fillers to pad out the episode. I am not going to go into a long rant about what I felt everything in the series really signified so don't worry about that. I did feel that the ending was fairly abrubt. Look they found Earth, lets give up all our technology and live on the land with the nice primitive peoples. They only thing I really would like an answer to is what ever happened to the cylons that went off in the base ship.
I could watch a quick mini-series about that.

Watchmen
I know this review is a little late, but I'm lazy.
I thought the movie was incredible. It stayed true to the story in the book but changed enough to make it work in the theater. After all, would an alien really have worked at the end? Even though it was almost 3 hours I was never bored or temped to start dozing like with other movies that length.
The only downside I see is that if your not familiar with the book you won't enjoy as much as us comic geeks, and the hard R rating and run length will hurt it in the box office.
I can't wait for the extended DVD with the extra scenes and the Black Freighter story.

I am posting a link here to a newsarama story about the Planet Karen webcomic. It is a great comic and and horrible situation, so read some of the comic and donate what you can.

Coraline
A little late for the movie review but here it goes.
See it!
Actually that was fairly easy.
This is a great film and better adaptation than most from a comic story. I highly recommend you see it in 3D if you can, it adds a little something extra to the experience.
Oh and read the book too.

TV and Comic Review
Joss Whedon's Dollhouse
I enjoyed the first episode immensely. The premise of customizing the memories and skills of people to fit different situations is a great premise. The story and action in the show draw you in and make you believe in the characters. I also think Eliza Dushku does an excellent job portraying the different personalities in the show. The show also brings to mind another series from a few years back call La Femme Nikita. I believe that fans of that show will also appreciate Dollhouse.
R.E.B.E.L.S.
A new series from DC comics.
by Tony Bedard and Andy Clarke
A new series that contiues the characters from the L.E.G.I.O.N. books. The first issue starts you off in the middle of the action and never lets up. You can read this story without any background, but if you want a little more backstory I would read some of the old L.E.G.I.O.N. books as well as the Supergirl and the Legions stories that DC put out. I highly recomend this book to everyone.

Review
Back again. Sorry for the wait. I have been reading Girl genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio. It is a collection of steampunk adventures revolving around the main character, Agatha Clay. I must recommend this book to anyone who likes a good adventure story mixed in with some humor.
