Hi Sir.
Mostly thatâ€™ s because most people donâ€™ t realize how many skills they do have. If you have office skills, for examlpe, you may be able to fijd work as a virtual assistant. If you have transportation you might try mystery shopoing , although it can.

my immediate reaction to Watchmen is to feel haunted by the intense style and storyline — haunted in a good way that is… overall i loved it

As one of the “people who appreciate film,” I agree that this is a thoughtful and engaging review.

Fantastic review. Your thoughtful and intelligent analysis of the material is not lost on those of us who want more from our reviews than the standard ho-hum fare. I will be keeping an eye on future reviews by Mr. Gilchrist.

Perhaps one of the most thoughtful reviews I’ve read. But what seemed like intellectual digressions in your piece sound more like caution from any immediate overreactions for the film.

Maybe this is one of those films that you have to see more than once to fully absorb its impact. But then again, any movie that has that requirement is often times already great.

Ive read a dozen reviews this morning and this is by far the most thoughtful and balanced.
Great review.

Thanks for the kind words, Will – I used to write for IGN, but now contribute to H and some other outlets (you can find more of my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes). This film was important to me, and I wanted to treat it seriously, which is why I went more in-depth than I often did at IGN. In any case, thanks for reading, and thanks for the comments; it’s good to know that there are folks out there who recognize and enjoy my writing.

It’s a minor point, but you keep saying graphic novelS and you mean graphic novel.

Todd, great review.

Are you by any chance the same Todd Gilchrist who does/did the movie reviews for IGN?

If so, I have always been a fan of your reviews. Perhaps it’s the different audience but the writing of this review seems to differ heavily from your IGN ones (imo, more analytical and complex…or perhaps it’s due to the film itself in comparison to reviewing something like, Superhero Movie).

Anyways, keep up the great work. I look forward to reading your other reviews.
