Last week i saw SIN CITY and i noticed no one on here has chatted about it yet.
I thought it was pretty damn good.
It was nice to see a movie with an outlandish, over-the-top plot that chose to stick with the concept .
Wether you are a fan of the comic books or you just like a slick, easy-to-digest series of stories, it will probably entertain you.
I give it seventy-five stars.

I thought about going to see it tonight, although the Mary Mack concert promises to be exciting.
I'm waiting to get Sideways and Jackie Brown on DVD ...
They should both be coming in the mail directly.
In the meantime, I got some other DVDs at the Dollar General Market which just opened .
. . I got Pirates of the Caribbean for 10 bucks.
They also had Traffic and Usual Suspects .
. . I'll probably break down and get both of those as well.
I also got Collateral recently ...
A fine flick. Ep.

Traffic is great, but for an added treat try to track down the late 80's miniseries TRAFFIK.
It's the UK version that Traffic was based on and it's excellent in it's own seperate way.
The two "movies" mirror each other (the european version concerns itself with traffic from the middle east via germany instead of mexico) but Traffik takes a few more risks.
I thought Pirates of The Carribbean was too long, but i enjoyed it for what it was.
And before the Kill Bill movies came out, and in retrospect after not seeing it for several years, i really thought that Jackie Brown was QT's best-made movie.
A tremendous favorite.

Jackie Brown is criminally underrated.
They have the original Traffic miniseries available at the Nashville Library .
. . I may have to snag that for free and give it a gander.
Pirates of the Caribbean isn't exactly a super-mega-masterpiece, but my DVD collection is woefully low on quality popcorn movies .
. . It's hard to get M'Lady amped about putting in Ran .

That being said, last night i saw ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK , a 1972 gaillo piece from italy starring one of the most incredible women i have ever seen on the screen, Edwige Fenech.
Her name doesn't do her justice (do a google of her but keep in mind most images of her on the web are NSFW).
i am a disgustingly huge fan of euro-trash from the 70's (thus, the butt of keith's joke regarding the fact that there ARE a lot of good zombie movies) but i never saw this one.
Highly recommended based on color schemes alone.
Sure they are cheezy and terribly paced, but the framing and the risks that italian directors took in trying to convey terror and psychological issues echoes back to just about every horror film of the late 70's and early 80's in the good ol USA (amityville horror [original], the shining, etc.) "Why am I still here you ask?

My Italian horror knowledge is woefully low .
. . I can throw out "Dario Argento" to fend off an oncoming nerd attack, but that's it.
That said, is there a genre you don't know much about, but would like to find out more?
I'd like to learn more about all of John Ford's Westerns.

Yeah, John Ford would be interesting to me.
The only westerns i have ever really been exposed to are (ironically enough) the spaghetti westerns out of spain and italy (see jesse's above "Argento" Quote: and replace it with "Leone" for me), and modern american fare like Unforgiven.
I'm also painfully unschooled in german expressionist stuff from the early 20th century (The Golem, Caligari, etc) and i wish i had broader appreciation for Bollywood.
Seriously. a lot of it looks fucking cool.

The Searchers is great, but it's all that I've seen of Ford.
They just showed a Western called Hannie Caulder on AMC a couple of days ago, with Raquel Welch as a remarkably beautiful frontier woman out for revenge.
I didn't watch much, but she DID deserve to get her revenge: She was raped by Ernest Borgnine, Jack Elam, AND Strother Martin.
Woof.
Caligari is very good .
. . I also want to see all of The Man Who Laughs , which was the inspiration for The Joker .
. . There are a lot of silent movies I want to see;
Filmmakers like Lang, Murnau, Dreyer and Stroheim appeal to me.
I've read all about them, but I haven't seen much of their work.
By the way, I have a 2-DVD disc, Martin Scorcese Takes a Personal Journey Through American Movies .
. . It's a documentary he made for the BBC.
Fantastic stuff, I can loan it out if anybody would like to view it.
It's pretty much a 4-hour course on directing.

You got it, fellows ...
We shall slice the DVD set in half, wherein, yea verily .
. . um, goodly sir .
. . BITTER!
Ryan, perhaps we can make an exchange: my Scorcese DVDs for my Mr.
Show DVDs. Sound good?
Give it to 'Sauce when you're done.
Also, I recently got Raging Bull on DVD.
In the words of Loretta Lynn, "Holy Goddamn Shit." Ep.
