Sin City

I saw this over the weekend. This is the most wildly over the top pulp movie I've ever seen. I enjoyed it. :-) It's a collection of sequences that are for the most part very loosely related to one another in the context of Sin City, where the best humanity seems to get is morally ambiguous and goes way downhill from there. The sequences are mostly black and white, with bits of color thrown in for that noir feeling. There is a lot of violence, almost distractingly so (think the Tokyo fight scene in Kill Bill running for the better part of two hours), but the worst bits are completely stylized and it's all cartoonish (since it's based on a comic, this is not too surprising). The score is also remarkably good. It reminded me a lot of Morphine, only edgier and without vocals. A solid film.
