Why did you watch them? What attracted you to them?

I am a wrestling fan so i found it convenient that I watched The Wrestler, as it gave insight to some of the backstage and personal antics of life in the pro wrestling business. As for Watchmen, the graphic novel/comic it is based off is praised as one of the genre's greatest, and hearing that it was pretty much a page-by-page adaptation, I had a go of it. Meanwhile 10 Cloverfield Lane was something I watched out of curiosity, hearing it was well received by audiences.

Where did you watch them? Why did you choose this option?

For both The Wrestler and Watchmen, I viewed both via Netflix. This was because it was both easy to view and access. In addition, I could pause or skip at anytime, being able to go on breaks if necessary. As for 10 Cloverfield Lane, I was in town with two friends and so we decided to go say it. I recommended it after saying it was getting good critical reception.

Were you satisfied with what you saw? Would you recommend it? 

I enjoyed The Wrestler but would perhaps only recommend it to fans of pro wrestling, as well as those who enjoy the tales of one's personal life and struggles. Watchmen is arguably more tricky, but any comic book fan should give it a try. It has a dark tone and sinister feel to it, which could turn off some viewers. Personally I liked the story and characters it offered, as I find it's alternate reality/universe attracting. As for 10 Cloverfield Lane it offers a psychological thriller that encourages a sense of claustrophobia. The setting is primarily set in one key area, making it very compact. In my opinion I thought it was fantastic film, and would recommend it to anyone who love to follow a well constructed and neat plot.
