"Hallelujah"...as a soundtrack choice, it must be earned

Brandon Kim at IFC.com makes an excellent point about this overused Leonard Cohen classic...Watchmen, we're looking at you.

"The latest "Hallelujah" shame (and mockery of that once magical evening) is the excruciating moment in which Cohen's original version of the song scores a sex scene in Zack Snyder's recent "Watchmen," which plays out like a bad joke told by a sad clown. Worse, you have to sit there while the sad clown painfully explains the punch line to you when you don't laugh. I also have to mention the completely unearned "The Sounds of Silence" travesty -- Snyder, man, you have to earn Simon & Garfunkel."
