SIN CITY

Ever since i caught the trailers way back in the summer of March, i knew i had to watch this movie. And i caught it straight away after baybeats with the other third of the GoRunRabbit collective krew. For those not in the know, this is an adaptation of Frank Miller's cult favorite. It's in black & white as how the comic was, and colour were used minimally to enhance the effects of certain scenes. Brilliant idea this is. So you can see some of the babelicious va-va-vooms have saucy red lips, the crazy eunuch is very the yellow in colour to enhance his evil n sick fantasies.

The stories all revolve in this town called Basin City, hence the short form Sin City. It basically consists of 3 different series of the comic : That Yellow Bastard, Sin City and The Big Fat Kill. At some point of time, all 3 stories are interwoven into each other. A short summary into each story : That Yellow Bastard is about a cop who is into his retirement, but is on the verge of solving a case involving a sick man's fascination with young gerls. Thing is, the cop is also suffering from a heart attack or sumtin, making his movements difficult, and worse, his partner has crossed onto the dark side. We see how the cop is thrown to prison for accomplishing his job and how thankful the lil young gerl is to him, that she's actually fallen for him when she was in her ripe ol 19 years of age, when he's released after 8 years. Va-va-voom.

Episode Sin City revolves ard a guy named Marvin, and how he fell in love with a prostitute he scored and woke up the next day to find her dead. And he's been blamed for it. So he goes in search of the true murderer and get revenge for Blondie, the dead prostitute. A treat for Frodo Baggins fans as he makes an appearance as the fast moving ultra nimble and very clawy baddie with the cool white reflective shades.

And The Big Fat Kill is of a barmaid named Shelley (Brittany Murphy) who is always abused by her jackass of a boyfren (Benicio Del Toro) who hits her when he's drunk. When she decided enough was enough, she brought home a guy, Dwight. Dwight was 'introduced' to her ex-bf, and Dwight gave him a good thrashing when seeing how she was treated by him. After all these, Benicio goes in search of a hooker which led to his end, and of how Dwight tried to help the hookers by trying to dispose off the body.

This is one hell of a violent movie. More violent than a Tarantino film, mind you. A movie whereby you get shot at so many times, and yet you dont die and still manage to walk about. Full of nudity, mind you, with tender mamaries evrywhere. And a good bit of the 'ol in-out-in-out is shown too. And of manhood being blown off and still survive, only to have it ripped out. Yikes. Hang onto your balls fellas. And Benicio Del Toro resembles so much Jack White of White Stripes fame. And look out for kick-ass meanies like Devon Aoki and Frodo Baggins.

All in all, you really feel like you are watching a comic as from one frame to another. I'd rank it as highly as Star Wars and Batman as among the movies of 2005.
