Cool news for those in the know

Frank Miller's "Sin City" will be coming out soon into cinemas across American. If you haven't already, please check out the trailer here. I'm not a big Jessical Alba fan, and the trailer doesn't even show the talented Maria Bello, but man, does it kick nine kinds of tail. Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Benicio Del Toro, Michael 'freakin' Madsen!! This is a going to be a good movie and I will punch you in the face if you disagree with me.

Meanwhile, Peter Sellers is rolling in his grave at the travisty that will be The Pink Panther. Come on Jean Reno! You're better than this. Between this and 'Just Visiting', his time travel movie, I'm becoming worried for you. You've got good movies under your belt so I know you've got the chops. Now quit staring in crap movies and start doing more 'Ronin' and 'Wasabi' films. The GOOD kind. As for Steve Martin, his hit and miss stuff is just weird. For every 'L.A. Story' there is a "Cheaper By The Dozen". Sigh. Don't tell me you peaked with the Jerk, Steve! The more indie you try to become, the more main stream crap you pull out and shove in our plates. Grrr!

Last movie watched was The Thin Man and it was everything I remember the first time I watched it. It makes me want to get the rest of the series. William Powell made movies the way you are supposed to make them. Light-hearted and fun but still with a serious side. What an actor! What a role! Nick and Nora Charles, the jet-setting dectective/couple before Hart-To-Hart even made it on the air. I have no comment on Simon & Simon... :-)

Sin City? No, ma'am. It is a comic book by the legendary Frank Miller. He is responsible for making Daredevil the great character he is, and as such struck out on his own and did a few independant things, amoung them "Sin City".
It's character driven stories all intersecting here and there. The movie just seems like it came off the printed page and looks really good.
