Brittany Murphy dead...

I thought Sin City was kinda boring. It's the kind of movie that tries to hard to be really, really cool, you know? And it just falls flat, and turns out that it's attempts at coolness are really kinda lame, but it still keeps trying? Which makes it all a rather awkward experience, because you just want to tell the movie that "Uh, I don't think you're cool so you can stop trying... You're just making an ass of yourself...". Sounds like every Tarantino film made after Reservoir Dogs... I would agree that Sin City does try awfully hard. However, it has quite enough stand-out moments that I can forgive the transgression. Also, considering the source material, I didn't expect much less from the movie. Frankly, I found this to be one of Mickey Rourke's better roles.

Of course Sin City is over the top. It's meant to be. It's the most straight forward comic adaptation ever.... You should check it out even if you don't like Miller, Mike. I think you would enjoy it. As for The Wrestler - Rourke was great(and so was Tomei if you know what I'm sayin.), but I didn't think it was as incredible as everyone made it out to be. And it felt like I had seen it before. It's not on par with Aronofsky's earlier films, that's for sure.

The Wrestler...meh. I loved Rourke in Sin City. Beyond that, he really hadn't done much for me since Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man / White Sands era.

That's the only film Rourke has done that made me smirk. Especially for the line "your mom's cunt smells like carpet cleaner!" I love Roeg's Eureka too, but his role is minimal in that.

Sin City was awesome, as was The Wrestler. That is all.

Interesting twists and turns going on with this story. Apparently the husband has been shut out of the will and wants to live with Murphy's mum. Click for article.
