sin city

I watched Sin City over the weekend at the Cinerama. End thoughts: loved it. It was electrifying, incredibly artistic and disturbingly violent. All the scenes were filmed in black & white with splashes of color...which aided in my ability to swallow the over-the-top death scenes. Every character was brilliant: Elijah Wood totally creeps the hell out of me now and Mickey Rourke had a great comeback. I'm still bothered seeing Gilmore Girl dressed in S&M. Visually, the movie was breathtaking (in a good and bad way). Go out and see it: judge it yourself. This is a movie unlike others. I heard that Director Rodriguez kept the budget low at $40 million, impressive considering opening weekend pulled in $28 million. Nice.
