  • sin city: a dame to kill for (2014)

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Sunday, August 02, 2026 23:28:00
    Just watched that (see Subject). Never heard of it before until someone was looking for the actual comic book that it was based on and mentioned it was also a couple of films.

    I was hoping to see both films, but fawesome.tv seemed to only list the 2nd one.

    Anyway.. I loved the style, visual treatments, etc. as a film-noir. Some might say it's campy with clich‚ one-liners. But I think it works for that comicbook-to-film project. The film reminded me of the same style and wild ride of a Tarantino film.

    It has a star-studded cast, and it works well.

    I believe Tarantino was invited to the direction team of the first movie, and directed a couple of scenes in the Owen-Del Toro section of the film.

    Cheers!!

    Yes.. I just read about it. Apparently T only directed one scene. I'm sure he had a lot of fun with it giving it his own signature style.

    I did not realize that the 2005 film was actually 3 films (complete with credits) back to back. I only got through the 1st two, and briefly started the 3rd, and only got about about half-way through the entire +2hr film when I had to call it quits for the night.
