Sinfully entertaining...

Last night I went to my brothers house for a screening of Sin City on DVD. I heard some cool stuff about this movie and wanted to see it on the big screen. It is really cool how they filmed it and how much it looks like a comic book coming to life on the screen. The movie is parts of the first 3 graphic novels and I can say this, they don't call it graphic for nothing. I'm about halfway through the first graphic novel and I've enjoyed what I've read so far and it was really neat to see this and compare the scenes coming to life.

Sin City launched the long-running, critically acclaimed series of comics novels by Frank Miller. Having worked on some of the most important comic books in the 1980s, including Marvel comic's Daredevil and the influential Batman graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, Miller was already a heavy-weight cartoonist, but he hit his stride with Sin City. It gave him the freedom that doesn't come when working on someone else's characters. While the art isn't as polished as in later books, it is in many ways the quintessential Sin City story: tough-guy Marv finds the girl of his dreams, an incredible beauty named Goldie. But when Goldie is murdered on their first night together, Marv scours the bars and back alleys of Sin City to find her killer in hopes of avenging her death.

The story and subject matter can be very adult here. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, you can just imagine what you might see out of this movie. This is not something to leave out for kids or young adults to read and watch. If your someone that loves comics or graphic novels, then you will not be disappointed in the movie version of Frank Miller's Sin City tales.
