Not a review, just an observation. Saw Watchmen tonight. Pretty damned good. And they picked, like, PERFECT music for it. Through the whole thing, each music track made sense and added depth. More likely tomorrow or Friday when I can do a real review.
I had forgotten how much I love the opening sequence of "West Side Story" for the pure theatricality of it. The quiet beginning before the music goes all frentic. This fairy tale was ground breaking when first introduced in 1957 and made into a film in 1961.
