Chicago – Alan and Gabe Polsky are brothers, film producers and now directors. The sibling tandem make their debut with “The Motel Life,” featuring Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff as disparate brothers trying to make a go in life with no money and no prospects, just a series of random motels and their unbreakable kinship.

Whether you loved, hated or were ambivalent about Zack Snyder’s Watchmen (I loved it), you have to give the director credit for trying to be as faithful as possible to the source material. But given the limitations of making a movie from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ rich and complex graphic novel, there was no way he and his screenwriters could include everything.
Originally published as a series of 12 comics, Watchmen contains the pirate story-within-a-story Tales Of The Black Freighter as well as supplemental prose (letters, articles, etc.) penned by Moore that were placed at the end of each issue in lieu of advertisements. One of these was Under The Hood, Hollis Mason’s autobiography chronicling the formation of the Minutemen and his life before, during and after becoming the first Nite Owl. With a running time of 163 minutes, Watchmen would have had to go over the three-hour mark...
