‘Watchmen’ a worthy effort despite some missteps

Ozymandias gazes at the bank of TV monitors as news reports of the catastrophe air on every station. He turns to his audience, the rest of the masked adventurers from the world of ""Watchmen,"" and plainly asks, ""Don't you see?"" It may as well be director Zack Snyder (""300,"" ""Dawn of the Dead""), anxious as his careful film adaptation of the legendary graphic novel comes to a close. Although he produced a faithful bite-size version for the screen, he seems painfully aware that he could only skim the surface of the world of Watchmen.

Take a ‘waltz’ with film

The beginning of ""Waltz with Bashir"" weaves between conversations between friends and fragments of dreams. In one dream, a pack of wild, yellow-eyed dogs chase down a street, and in another, a giant, naked woman swims peacefully in the ocean. It seems as if the film will be about the separation of these things, the dissection of imagination from memory.
