According to the internet, one cannot enjoy this violent comic book movie without first reading some college dropout's attempt ar marxist-feminist film criticism. What an exciting time to be alive!

In Sin City (2005) the relationship between Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba is a geezer's fondest fantasy, portrayed to perfection. Surrogates (2009) was actually rather lame, but Willis' performance was captivating.

I most certainly DO intend to see, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014).

Replace Joseph Gordon-Levitt with Emo Philips and I'll see it.

As I take a closer look at this review, and have read a few others, I smell a political agenda afoot, which makes me suspect that this film must be truly great art. I'll bet the foreshadowing actually does pay off, but in a subtle manner, in the style of the back story of Inglourious Basterds, which is what that film was really all about. Hollywood totally missed the fact that 'terds even has a back story, or it would have gotten the Oscar, simply on merit of political correctness.

The back story of Inglourious Basterds is told entirely through foreshadowing. What is the significance of the reference to "The Hangman of Prague"? How did Lieutenant Aldo get the rope burn scar on his neck? Why did Detective Colonel Landa, feed the rat and kill the squirrel? Why did Aldo summarily execute the "more than capable radio man"? Why wasn't the movie more about the persecution of Jews; were they the only minority group to be targeted and killed by the NAZIS? German films weren't the only propaganda of WWII. Hangmen Also Die.

Italian OT calls Mexican-American, Robert Rodriguez, his brother. They aren't swishy, but they do tend to share ideas and influence one another.

Please wait...
