As a child, there were few movies I loved more than “Footloose”. In fact, I made my mother bring me to see it multiple times in the theater just so I could dance in the aisles and its soundtrack will be one of my favorite albums ever. And as I grew up and could actually [...] This really should be a review of “Watchmen”, but I am still attempting to wrap my brain around all three hours I spent in a theater on Saturday.
