Sin City, anyone?

The new movie Sin City, based on the work of pulp comic writer Frank Miller, came out on Friday, and it sounds like I'm going to see it tonight. I haven't exactly been dying to see this movie, but I have been dying to see any movie, since there's been nothing but crap so far this year. Like I mentioned below, I have yet to see a single movie released in 2005. This one looks a little hokey with the weird visuals, so I'm skeptical.

Okay, took a quick glance at Rotten Tomatoes...turns out, the movie is getting solid reviews, and those hokey visuals are being described as groundbreaking and pioneering. So what the hell do I know. I'd rather my expectations remain low.

The movie does have a HUGE name cast. Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood (Frodo!), Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Michael Madsen, Jaime King, Nick Stahl (the older John Connor), Brittany Murphy (the skank), and...Mickey Rourke? Whoa, what's the last good thing that guy's done? Anyway, this one is ripe for six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Hey, weren't Mickey Rourke and Kevin Bacon in The Diner together? Wow, nailed two birds with just one stone.

I'll write a review tonight and let you know what I think.
