Watchmen Review: Oh-Oh Alan... It Was Good. Really Good.

[ 09:45 ]
More positive than we were expecting with an ending that just might take Alan Moore to school. And we're saying ALL that without seeing all the extra DVD-released scenes that have been shot with Hollis Mason, Sally Jupiter--oh yeah and the Black Freighter! So you can bet this will be the first of at least two reviews we'll be doing of Watchmen. Once that DVD comes out, we'll be getting an even more accurate, comprehensive and faithful adaptation. ~Matt+Nat

Watchmen Preview: Can It Live Up To The Source Material?
We’ve had our eye on this project for YEARS, literally, and we couldn’t have more anticipation and enthusiasm for this film if we tried. Mostly because we’ve been fans of the graphic novel for as long as we can remember, and the pressure couldn’t be higher for Snyder to deliver a truly great movie from the greatest graphic novel of all time. So watch our 10-minute preview of Watchmen, complete with cast and crew interviews and LOTS of scenes from the movie, and hit up YourGeekNews.com to let us know what you think. ~Matt +Nat

Maxfactor's Pat McGrath is made up at Issa
It’s not just the clothes that get us all excited at London Fashion Week - it’s also the elaborate hair and make up which set the look for forthcoming beauty trends. So t5m caught up with MaxFactor Creative Director and international make up guru, Pat McGrath backstage at Issa, as she prepared the likes of Naomi Campbell and Chanel Iman for their catwalk moment. The Issa collection was inspired by a tropical storm - think deep greens, rich golds, molten metallics and blacks and greys - and Pat transferred this theme into the make up, with heavy, rich eye colour, sweeping black eyeliner and thick, dramatic eyelashes. Pat has been using MaxFactor ‘Lash Effect’ mascara, which she credits with creating the false eyelash effect on her models! She then compliments this eye make up with a simple ‘melon’ shade of nude and shimmering lip gloss.Pat even gives us tips on how to recreate this dramatic look at home - advising us to go easy on the eyeliner, but to experiment with colour! Asked to pick out her favourite trend from the shows so far, and Pat is torn between the romantic look we’ve seen at Louise Goldin and Jasper Conran, and the more, edgy and powerful looks at House of Holland and Issa herself…

Wolverine Review: Multiple Endings = Multiple Viewings?
To say that Wolverine has multiple endings isn't exactly correct, but it does have multiple post-credit bonus scenes. Much like the post-credit Nick Fury scene in Iron Man, or the Tony Stark scene in Incredible Hulk, X-Men Origins: Wolverine gives you a reason to sit through the credits… and it’s hard to know which one you’ll be getting since Gavin Hood has put at least two different versions out in theatres, that we know of. We’ve seen two different endings, one that’s Deadpool-centric and one that’s Japan-based, but it won't take long to get to the bottom of how many there are, and to see them all! ~Matt + Nat

Iron Man Review: The New Superhero Benchmark
Matt is convinced this is the new yardstrick to which every comic movie must be measured, and Nat just can’t get enough of Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as Tony Stark. All in all, it seems like Jon Favreau’s Iron Man managed to serve many masters… but let’s break it all down. What did you think? Let us know at YourGeekNews.com if you think we’re full of it, or if you’re on board with our impressions of the first blockbuster of the Season! ~Matt + Nat

Max Payne Review: Pain Indeed.
Marky Mark is 0 for 2 with Max Payne added to the Crappening as another lacklustre film for the poor guy. At least we've got Quantum of Solace as a palate cleanser!

Preview Star Wars: The Clone Wars
With George Lucas doing what he does best and then taking a back seat while everyone else makes the movie, this could very well be the first good Star Wars movie since 1980. Sure it's CG... but so were all the best parts of the prequel trilogy anyway! We've got some great looking scenes, as well as interviews with Lucas and the Director of Clone Wars, Dave Filoni.

Wanted Review: Get That Girl A Sandwich
Matt and Nat both got a kick out of Wanted, though it didn't quite live up to the expectations set by some of the rumours... or set by the first 10 minutes of the film. But it's a great ride that's definitely worth seeing -- if you've already seen Dark Knight that is. But if you hit the snack bar, make sure to bring back something for Angelina. She looks like she could use the meal. ~Matt + Nat

Punisher Review: War Zone Splits The Geeks!
It’s a completely two-sided review for Punisher: War Zone, with one of us madly in love with the dark live-action romp through the pages of Marvel Knights favourite hero, and the other simply unimpressed with comic violence pushed past the point of enjoyable. Where do your feelings fall on this third installment of the Punisher franchise? ~Matt + Nat

Iron Man Preview: The Perfect Cast
What do you get when you cross an all-star, Oscar nominated cast with a few tonnes of hulking metal? You get Jon Favreau's IRON MAN! With some serious pressure to be a blockbuster, Marvel has all the makings of a winner as their first at bat as a production company. Matt's more excited about this one than he has been about a movie in a while, and Nat can't wait to see her some Robert Downey Jr. So really, everyone's a winner on this one. ~Matt + Nat

Spiderman 3 Review- Holy Crap! That Was Only One...
Alright boys and girls… we just saw the midnight showing of Spiderman 3 and man, is there a lot to say about this movie… mostly because there is about enough story going on in it to make up two or three movies, but somehow Sam Raimi manages to jam it all into one. How successfully? Well, our review is a bit mixed, but if you disagree with us, and even if you don’t, leave us a comment and take us to task! ~Matt + Nat
