THE ADDAMS FAMILY
Recommended. It's absolutely exquisite. Jokes abound, e.g. on seeing a red balloon: "normally a murderous clown is attached to it". And the whole family is as delightfully morbid as usual: skull-shaped coat buttons, the home kitten is an adult lion and Wednesday goes to school "to torment people her age". The action's fast and the Addams clan world filled with detail. I might go and see it again.
WATCHMEN EP. 1
Recommended. I love alternative histories so the premise of mostly-black run US extending to Vietnam provided the wow factor in its own right. The social role reversal is best exemplified in the car stopped by a black cop. Then the plot provides a good number of twists and character introductions within an hour. And an obligatory cliffhanger in the final scene. Outstanding music - I'd watch it for the score alone.
Available on HBO.
