But let me start by saying, that with the Director and the huge amount of great actors, i coulnd´t help but having pretty big expectations to Sin City.



First of all, i thought the lead characters was very much alike except for their physics. All cool without many feelings. It got tiresome to listen to their monotonous, numb thoughts throughout the entire movie.

Second. The storyline reminded me alot of "Pulp fiction", very smart ass, just without any good dialogue. The story wasn´t that good and i didn´t get the intro and the last seconds of the movie. With other words, i didn´t get Josh Hartnett´s part in it? When the credits finaly came rolling i sat with an empty feeling inside. Like the credits came before the movie was entirely over.

Third. I liked the cartoon universe wich reminded me of a dark version of "Dick Tracy". I liked Elija Wood and Nick Stahl´s characters wich were wonderfully weird and colorful. Sadly there wasn´t more characters like them. But explain to me why ALL women in Sin City had to look like porno supermodels and had to be half/fully naked. It was degrading to look at and really irritated me. (I´m not a "Charlies angels" fan)
;)



The possitive things about Sin City was the originality, the effects, the enviroment, the entertainment, and Elija Wood.

All in all a 8/10
That's funny everything you liked I didn't(with the exception of the enviroment) and everything you didn't like I did(with the exception of Elijah Wood).

I liked Rourke and Owens'(<my personal favorite) characters and Bruce Willis was a lead and his character was nothing like their's.

Event Horizon- 5/10, only half of the movie was good hence the rating. The climax was great, Sam Neil's character was great after he went off the deep end and fucked his face up.

Sin City- 10/10, I went to see it again Tues. at 12 in the morning to make sure the theatre wouldn't be filled with 100 people with..

25 whispering
25 just flat out talking
and the other half assorted with whining babies,cellphones ect. and all of them going oooooooooooo evertime something happens and then talking about it over the rest of the dialouge in the scene.

anyway the first time I saw it I gave it a 8 because there were a few things I didn't like for example the weak set up given for Rourke to go on a torcher/killing spree but this time I was uninterrupted by the things mentioned above, caught a few things I missed and took a close look at the things I didn't like the first time and all in all it was better than I originally thought.
(p.s.-I still hate Elijah Wood)

Rosemary's Baby- 9/10, Would've been a 10 but imo everybody but Mia Farrow and Charles Grodin completely over acted.

Cursed

Cursed (2005)

Craven's tale started off so nicely...and tapered towards a real paler to the end...disappointment from the team that brought "Scream"...

wonder if anyone else has seen it...

go watch American Werewolf in London instead...

I saw the woodsman. It was long draining and boring, but I don't do well with dramas most of the time.
