New DVD Releases for the Week of July 21 2009
Here is a list of the new DVD Releases for the week of July 21 2009 (for TV on DVD releases head over to Daemon's TV):
Watchmen
Synopsis: A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" – which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?
Cast: Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Matthew Goode, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman, Stephen McHattie, Carla Gugino, Matt Frewer
Director: Zack Snyder
Recommendations: When I first saw Watchmen in theaters, I hadn't read the comic but really liked the movie. Now that I have read the comic, I still think the movie did a really good job bringing it to life. I think it's a movie that is worth owning.
Buy it: WATCHMEN on Amazon
