It's also visually quite lovely and the acting is terrific. I'd say, go.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Nilly and I each did the smiling-through-tears thing. I loved it.
I just have to mention that I am BRUTALLY anticipating Sin City.
It looks *gorgeous,* doesn't it?
(I guess I ought to read it before I see the movie....)
Also -- and I think I should be more ashamed about this -- I kind of want to see the Michelle Trachtenburg ice-skater movie.
It looks *gorgeous,* doesn't it?
I've decided that I will go, even it ends up sucking, because it looks so great, and Clive Owen just adds to the pretty.
Clive Owen just adds to the pretty.
Even the bit of him in the tv commercial made the movie enticing for me, despite not reading Sin City.
Clive Owen is all about the enticing.
....and yet, I still don't find him attractive, nor can I ever connect the face with the name. When the trailer for Sin City first came out, I was befuddled by who the dark broody guy was.
Steph, have you seen him in "Croupier"? I didn't really take much notice of him until I saw that flick. Afterward, I was pretty much a goner. Well, that and liberal doses of Owen as the brilliant and tormented Detective Inspector Ross Tanner in "Second Sight" series.
I second both of Vonnie's recs.
