Oscar buzz usually wrecks a film for me. Thankfully, the hype machine didn’t stop me from liking this movie. It’s funny and sadly familiar. So familiar, in fact, that I’m inspired to write a screenplay about the idiots in my life. And also inspired to learn how to use words like “thin-skinned”, “temperamental”, “survivor”, “fullest expression”, “haunting”, “brilliant”, “subtle”, “thrilling” and “ancient” when describing the taste of wine.

We bought this one about four years ago. Twice since, we’ve tried to watch it in its entirety. And twice, we’ve fallen asleep before we could get to the mid-point. But don’t let that disuade you. It’s probably a great sequel. Just don’t start watching it too late in the evening.

Despite the retarded premise, the film’s structure actually hangs together quite well. And the ending was quite a departure from the typical baby-boomer-targeted mid-life-crisis movie.
But none of that saves it. Don’t watch this film. Unless it’s on TV. Or you borrow it from some poor schmo that happened to buy it. Like us.

Practically a shot-for-shot adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel series, Sin City is graphically stunning. Almost as stunning as the graphic novels. Too bad the actors had to be in there. But, then, without them I guess you may as well just read the graphic novels and forget the film. Oh… that’s an interesting recommendation…
