How often do you hear that? Once a week? Once a month? Once a year? How about every day for a month? Let’s face it, America is in love with fast food. The faster the better.

How could spending two hours on a deserted beach with Harrison Ford turn out to be a bad thing?

As bloated as Marlon Brando during the off-season, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” is not only bigger-than-life, it’s bigger than fantasy. Based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore (“From Hell”) and illustrated by Kevin O’Neill, “Extraordinary Gentlemen” brings together seven literary creations (six in the graphic novel, one recruited by the films writer) to help the British Empire stop a madman from kick-starting a World War.
