‘Watchmen’ Starts Asking Questions With “Martial Feats Of Comanche Horsemanship” One thing is becoming apparent asWatchmenairs its second episode: it’s going to be exhausting trying to keep track of every single reference, Easter Egg, historical element, and beyond packed into this show.

Brian De Palma To Direct Thriller ‘The Key Man’ The last decade hasn’t been the most popular one forBrian De Palma, at least in a commerical sense. I do love his 2003 movieFemme Fatalea whole hell of a lot, but can’t really get behind the James Ellroy adaptationThe Black Dahlia, and feel like the minor Iraq War filmRedactedmight be worth a second look at some point in the future, if only because it was a relatively early effort to embrace the always-on nature of modern video....
