Watchmen Hits Theaters - Review & Movie Trailer
The spring box-office season got its unofficial start this weekend with Billy Crudup in "Watchmen".Based on Alan Moore's famous comic book series, "Watchmen" is a story set in an alternative 1985, where the world is edging closer to the brink of nuclear war, and a plot to eliminate a band of retired crime fighters is under way.
But by whom? And why?
It is up to these ex-crime fighters to investigate the plot that seems to go beyond the unbelievable.
The story begins with Nixon in the White House, the Cold War growing hotter, and the Watchmen sitting on the sidelines. Dan Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) has retired his Nite Owl costume; Laurie Jupiter (Malin Akerman) no longer dresses in spandex; and Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) in now a businessman.
Looming over everyone is Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup), a nuclear scientist who's been transformed into a godlike figure - radiant, omnipresent and disinterested. Together, they must find who is trying to eliminate them.
Along the way, they uncover a plot that shakes the very foundation of our way of life.
The film is rated R for strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language. There are lengthy sex scenes and a lot of nudity, as Dr. Manhattan never wears any clothes. The soundtrack is powerful and syncs well with the plot.

Help Steven Colbert Name The New NASA Space Module
Late night comedian Steven Colbert is on a mission - a mission to name the new NASA Space Station module after him.Colbert has enlisted the help of his ColbertNation fans to visit the NASA website and enter his name in the vote to select the new module name.
The video below lays out his evil plan.
Will his plan work?
Not likely, but with the name "Xenu" currently leading the pack, it might not be as much of a long shot as we think.
After all, he already has his DNA onboard, and has talked with astronauts live from the apace station on his show.
Voting ends on March 20, so we don't have a lot of time.

The LAPD, seeming to run for cover, also released a statement:
"The LAPD does not and will not release any victim's photos. It's that simple. We have not."
Brown, 19, was arrested for the beating, while the Grammy Awards Ceremony he was supposed to appear at went on - without him. He was released from jail on $50,000 bail.
Rihanna , who turns 21 today, is cooperating with police.
Brown issued a statement last week apologizing, and said he was seeking counseling. He is due in court on March 5.

The photo was first seen in Playboy Magazine in 1979, and was one of six from the photo shoot that appeared in the magazine; the other five were sold in an auction in 2003 bringing in more than $7,000.
Another photograph sold Thursday for $18,750. In the photo, also seen in Playboy in the 1980s, the singer is wearing sports lingerie, has curly blond hair and a sexy facial expression.
