I did say 'so far...' this year but.... nevermind. Apart from star wars, theres war of the worlds which also looks mouth wateringly good from the trailer.
But you know when you see a movie sometimes and you think that the films is so awesome and instantly you know that it'll become a personal all time classic? I had that feeling at the end of the Sin City.
I dunno if this film is mainstream enough for the average film going audience to recognize that Bruce Willis and the star studded cast are so well cast for their roles and are excellent in portraying them, but I'm sure the film studios will and will no doubt line Brucie boy for some bigger project in the future.
"Sin City" may not win over as many hearts as "The Matrix" did, but from the looks of it, it would definitely be a ground-breaking, genre-defining film -- and I am quite sure many future movies, at least the comics-based film noir movies, would try to emulate or spoof the camera style and mood of "Sin City".
But don't take my word for it. Watch it and be your own judge. -

i don't care if it's NC whatever... just don't butcher the movie!!
And a violent movie it is indeed. The nudity is there all right, but it is nothing compared to the violence depicted in the movie. Like a "Mortal Kombat" video gaming fan's wet dream, there are many scenes of beheading, castration, and mutiliation of body parts.
Strangely, however, there didn't seem to be much gore that would turn the audience off. Perhaps it is the mainly black-and-white visual presentation that gave the graphic images a rather surreal quality, much the feeling one would get when reading the original graphic novels.
Nevertheless, while it didn't blow me away like "The Matrix" did as I thought it would, it was beautiful enough to attract me to watch it again. I don't wish to hype up anybody's expectations, but it is truly the most faithful movie adaptation of a comics book I've ever seen so far and it deserves a shot at the Palme d'Or in Cannes for the grit director Rodriguez showed in making the film.
For those who don't know what the movie is about, here is a synopsis from the Cannes Festival website:The central story follows Marv, a tougher-than-nails street-fighter who has always played it his way. When Marv takes home a Goddess-like beauty named Goldie, only to have her wind up dead in his bed -- he scours the city to avenge the loss of the only drop of love his heart has ever known.
Then there's the tale of Dwight, a private investigator perpetually trying to leave trouble behind, even though it won't quit chasing after him. After a cop is killed in Old Town, Dwight will stop at nothing to protect his friends among the ladies of the night.
Finally, there's the yarn of John Hartigan - the last honest cop in Sin City. With just one ticking hour left to his career, he's going out with a bang as he makes a final bid to save an 11 year-old girl from the sadistic son of a Senator... with unexpected results. -
YEAH!!! no cuts!!

Don't know the exact date, but should be soon. The censors have already released it, so it depends on the cinema operators to squeeze it into their schedules.

Try not to raise your expectations too high, though. Just sit back and enjoy the movie as it is. -
