Sin City
Wow. Visually stunning (and I’m not just talking about all of the fine scattered ass), incredibly vicious violence (not for you Kiddo!), and just relentless for two hours (often comically so). The comic book dialogue is a bit cheesy, but could this be a comeback for Mickey Rourke? I’m also interested to get a female take on this film, it seems like it’ll be one guys will love but women will despise – if Julia Roberts is your favorite actress this is not one for you. Part of the plot tries to be somewhat feminist, but I’m not buying it, it’s savagely misogynistic – not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. Overall, a fantastic popcorn movie for my sick, twisted head. Oh, and make sure you see it in a theater with awesome sound.
