...Maybe there's no way the rest of the film could match this opening, and for sure it doesn't. Snyder spends much of the movie's 2 hours and 40 minutes on the splatter of crushed limbs, the chatter of Strangelovean science fiction and the nattering of the obligatory romance. He also encourages a little festival of tone-deaf acting. Yet Watchmen has moments of greatness. It proves again that the action movie is where the best young Hollywood brains have gone to bring flesh to their fantasies...
Maybe the Muslim world is, after all, a mystery to the West. Maybe the two cultures have simply diverged one step too far from each other—somehow neither can break the encryption just beneath the surface of the mutual chatter that seems to elicit so much wrath and illuminate as little common ground.

Humming, breathless chatter between foxy patrons and staff adds to the intrigue of the place, where the famished can nosh on Mahi Mahi sandwiches or wheatberry salads and the thirsty can swig anything from aromatic coffee to the DC Tap Water cocktail, a popular favorite according to manager Michael Woods...
...unassuming village of Sipson, England, all roads lead to the King William IV pub - a late 15th century tavern known for its cask ale and the ceaseless chatter of good-humored barflies. On Thursday afternoon, however, the lager and the laughter stopped flowing. Forty villagers watched the television mounted in the bar silently as Geoff Hoon, the nation's Transport Secretary, announced that he had approved plans for a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport. For Sipson, which sits on the airport's northern perimeter, it's nothing short of annihilation: the village's 700 homes and businesses must...
