Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (2014) Movie Review and Trailer #sincity

Movie: Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (2014)

Cast: Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Ray Liotta

Genre: Crime, Action, Thriller


Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is a good sequel to Sin City. It is a crime thriller that boasts slick and dark action with sexy moves and a good story-line. The use of black, white and red provide for an attractive viewer experience enhanced by the presence of Jessica Alba and Eva Green. The masculinity of Mickey Rourke and Josh Brolin brings about a very bad-ass feel to the movie. Love being the real villain in the movie has perhaps the most impressive role to play.
The cast is huge and they have performed to their best abilities. Jessica Alba looks uneasy and is not as hot as people often expect her to be. Eva Green however is dark and mesmerizing and has bared it all with quite an impressive affect. Her natural attire is definitely one of the highest points of the movie when it comes to its appeal for the audience. Mickey Rourke performs a role he was born to play and Josh Brolin is as hunky as ever. Bruce Willis and Ray Liotta can at best be described as guest stars who bring value to the movie on the whole.
All in all Sin City: A Dame To Kill For does not disappoint as a feature film and fans of cinema should give it a go.


Rating: 3.5/5

All Good Things (2010) - A Review

Article first published as Review: All Good Things (2010) on Technorati.

Movie: All Good Things (2010)
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst, Frank Langella
Rating: 4/5
Director Andrew Jarecki's amazing portrayal of a true story that follows the most notorious unsolved murder mystery in the history of Newyork. It is a love story of a sick individual named David Marks who is haunted by his inner demon and the supposed suicide of his mother. He finds refuge in a pretty girl named Katie and marries her. David's dark side tries to overcome him at various instances in the film and he finally gives in to it.
The movie is about a sick man's love for his wife pitted against his rage and inability to control himself. The film is exceptionally well-written and directed and Kirsten Dunst has given a classy performance showing that she can act and is not just a girl next door.
The cast overall has acted to the script with Gosling and Langella sharing the screen in some intense situations. The chemistry between Dunst and Gosling as Mr. and Mrs. Marks is awesome and although Dunst lacks some assets she really sizzles in some very well made romantic scenes.
All Good Things forces a critic to only utter good things about it. The best way to appreciate this well made film is to watch it and admire the acting! Two thumbs up!
