Sin City (05/Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino/US) 7/10

This is a male fantasy full of babes, blood and violence for those who can't read. However cinematography is dazzling, actually the contrast of selected colors on black and white looks cool and new. This is one step closer to Tarantino for Rodriguez but not just that good yet. The narration is mind numbing, unnecessary for this media and disturbing. I'd liked to see what this movie could have been if it had used the capacity of its own media instead of narration.

Spoiler
My favorite part is when Dwight is taking to the dead Jacky Boy in the car. That's the funniest part. Ironically, I found out that's the part Tarantino directed! End of Spoiler


Captain Corelli\'s Mandolin (01/John Madden/UK, France, USA) 6.5/10

Those who have read the book seem to hate this movie. I'd not and I really enjoyed it. The thing I didn't like though was the usage of accent when they couldn't pull it off well. Otherwise this is a story about love, ups and downs of life and war set on a Greek island during WWII.
