It's also visually quite lovely and the acting is terrific. I'd say, go.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nilly and I each did the smiling-through-tears thing. I loved it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
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.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.
