[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I saw [i]Sin City[/i] about a week ago, and I really enjoyed it. I think it dragged in a couple places (especially the middle of "The Hard Goodbye"), but it pretty tight (as the kids are wont to say nowadays). I really enjoyed the visual style of the film. I liked the comic book effect and the use of black and white with just a hint of color in places. It made an impact on me. I didn't realize Marv was played by Mickey Rourke until the credits ran. The makeup artist did a good job on him. I think he did a pretty good job; he managed to play the character just over-the-top enough without making it cheesy. Elijah Wood was really, really creepy as Kevin. It's kind of amusing; he had no lines and most of his screentime was just standing or sitting there looking creepy, but he pulled it off. I was also entertained by the militant prostitutes (both for their parts and their, ahem, parts). I liked The Salesman being bookends to the movie. The first scene with Hartigan and Bob on the dock was kind of awkward, but after he punched Bob out it was better. I got a little of the ick factor going with some of the gore (Lucille's stump, Kevin's dismemberment, and Hartigan ripping off Yellow Bastard's genitals), but it didn't detract that much from everything else. I think my favorite segment was "The Big Fat Kill". There's just something cool about militant prostitutes. I liked Clive Owen, Rosario Dawson, Alexis Bledel, and Devon Aoki the most in this. I kinda felt that Michael Duncan Clarke and Brittany Murphy were wasted in this part of the movie. Oh, yeah, Benecio Del Toro was pretty cool was a corpse and bodiless head. Overall, yeah, good flick. I'm in love with Alexis Bledel now. I may just have to start watching [i]Gilmore Girls[/i]. Maybe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
