Lets start with the visuals. They were dead on and better then I hoped for. Everything from Rorschach's mask to Dr. Manhattan's glow was perfect and very nice to look at. Synder lived up to his reputation in that department. Except for Ozymandias the entire cast looked exactly like their comic book counterparts, so a thumbs up to the casting director.

Now as far as the story goes the were surprisingly faithful to the book except for the ending. Sure a giant octopus alien thing may have been a little too goofy for mainstream audiences, but I was really looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Other then that Synder got the same message across as the comic despite the change and I'll give him a thumbs up for that. What really bugged me were all of the scenes with normal everyday people talking around the news stand were cut and replaced with very blan war room scenes featuring the worst Richard Nixon ever. We needed those scenes of people talking so we could have something relate to, Superheroes and Generals are not easy to relate to.

The score I think was awesome! I know a lot of people complained about the song played during the sex scene with Nite Owl and Silk Spectre but I loved it. That song came straight from the comic, and I wouldn't have changed it for anything else. The rest of it was great and really made me feel like I was in the 80's.

Anyway as of now I'm withholding my rating until the Directors cut comes out because that will include many deleted scenes that were cut to keep it under 3 hours (which it just barely is) and Tales From the Black Freighter.

I usually prefer a whole book, even a series of books as opposed to short stories but Stephen King always wins me over. He certainly is the greatest writer I've ever read and Just After Sunset is no exception to his greatness. I give it a 10 out of 10.

Now lets get to the review. I've chosen Special Forces by .38 Special this time around. You may recognize Caught Up In You from this album but not much else, that is why I am reviewing it. As a whole the album is pretty solid, Special Forces has a great classic rock sound and luckily came out before .38 Special got really country.

All of the songs have basically the same feel except for Chain Lightin', which starts off with the sounds of thunder and slowly builds into a classic southern rock epic, much less annoying then Free Bird but I still wouldn't recommend listening to it more then once a week and even that may be too much. It's not bad, I just have a problem with five minute long southern rock songs.

Although a very good album there's not too much in the way of a stand out track, but if I had to pick one it'd be Caught Up In You for the reminisce factor. But if you want a really awesome song that is completely new for you then I have to suggest either Rough-Housin' with it's ZZ Top style guitar, or You Keep Runnin' Away which is the only song that lets you know it was made in the 80's.

All in all a good album by an awesome band, I give it an 8 out of 10.
