One Hella Good Movie

Dusty happened to remind me yesterday of a movie I had saw over the weekend that was in my opinion "excellent."

Once again headed by an all star cast SIN CITY is dark, sexy, sinister, strange, creepy, comical and bloody---what else is a girl to need.

Just the entire feel of the movie is like a comic book. As the characters spout out their lines the seem to be able to be compacted into tiny little word bubbles in over their heads... short, descriptive, dripping with visions. The black and white theme is carried through out the movie and is occasionally stopped by colors in strange places... an earring, a dress, someone's hair, voluptuous lips on a woman.

Either way I give it a 10.

A collection of interweaving stories all based in the corrupt, crime infested hell-hole that is Basin City. Heavily influenced by film-noir, the main storylines concern a hulking brute called Marv (Mickey Rourke), who is seeking the murderer of a beautiful woman who was killed while asleep in bed with him; an ex-photographer called Dwight (Clive Owen) who accidentally kills a hero cop and has to cover it up; and a soon-to-be-retiring policeman called Hartigan (Bruce Willis) who is incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit. All based on the brilliant graphic novels "Sin City", "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard", written and illustrated by Frank Miller.
