 | | 6. Frank Miller's Sin City (Dts) | | | Starring: Mickey Rourke Bruce Willis Director: Frank Miller Robert Rodriguez | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/1/2006 |  | Sin City - DVD Review By: Eric Meyerson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/10/2009 5:36 PM | |
You typically have to maintain low expectations for a comic book movie. For every Spider-Man, you get a bunch of Elektras and Daredevils. So really, what can you expect from one with a huge, B-list cast and three directors? Surprise! Sin City is a mega-violent, highly potent vial of noir crack. And judging from the riotous burst of applause at the end of our screening, one that's destined to be a Matrix-style mass-cult classic. Okay, so Sin City isn't really a comic book movie it's a graphic novel movie. And in spite of the title, the locale isn't the tourist-friendly and brightly-lit Vegas strip but "Basin City," a noir Nowheresville, a mid-century L.A. with snow flurries and dark sewers, enveloped in permanent midnight. read the full review | |

 | | 43. Dark City | | | Starring: Kiefer Sutherland Rufus Sewell Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | | Dark City (Director's Cut) - DVD Review By: Dan Schneider - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/21/2009 5:02 PM | | Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas’s 1998 film Dark City has been compared to many prior science fiction films, from Metropolis to Blade Runner, but, simply put, it’s better than those films. The comparison to Blade Runner, especially, is inapt, because that film is all style and little substance -- a claim made of Dark City, but, in truth, the film is mostly substance, with style about the edges. Yet, the style is so memorable that viewers and critics have had a hard time realizing it is a film that is original fiction, and not based upon a comic strip, as the urban legend goes. read the full review | |
