In regards to Clive Owen’s acting, I agree with those of you who compared Closer to Sin City. In Closer we see Clive as a man in love, jealous, flirtatious and most of all, in pain. If you look at the scene where he and Julia break up, you can see him go from love, to apologetic, to shock, to pain, to total anger and rage all within a few minutes. This is not easy to do! Then, shifting to Sin City, we see a cool collected, not easily rattled Dwight. The reason this is a good basis of comparison is the fact that both roles require him to display his affection for two different woman. In Closer, he treats Natilie Portman like a “fuck you too” piece of ass. Shifting to Sin City we see him more introverted and protective and even stronger willed and than in Closer. When it came to Shellie and Gail, he always put their intrest and well being ahead of his own, and he did it the way Dwight would have. In Closer, he did it the way Larry would have done it. Two completely different characters with several similarities and common situations, portrayed in opposite fashion. Clive Owen is still up and coming, so I recommend you keep your eye on him whether you like him or not, because he is going to turn some heads I can promise you that.

I am very glad to see someone mention Rourke’s “marv”- that was the performance that made this movie for me. I was very impressed with how well the whole production held together and the high caliber of most of the performances, given that I generally think too many big name stars in one movie makes for a poor product. it’s the directing, of course, that made this possible. Rourke gave possibly the best performance of his career here, in my opinion. Clive, as always, fills his roles to the brim. I totally agree that he is underrated. This was a side step for him to play something totally different and i thought he, like Rourke, was awesome. I was entertained by Brittani, not the best performance, but then it was believable. Alba and Dawson were working too hard- it just seemed very forced. Over all, it was so nice to see all the actors give such great performances even to the smaller roles- Booth, Wood, Nick Stahl, Hauer. (I do agree about Madsen, though- which i found surprising given that I thought he did a great job in Kill Bill…) Personally, I can’t wait for Sin 2. It will be nice to see who the new actors will be…

I hate to say this, but I hope Jessica Alba does not come back…Nancy’s character needed to be more open and, how shall I put this, whorish looking and acting…like in the books. Frank Miller, in an interview said that Nancy’s character was going to be a bit darker and more “alluring”, at least that is what i got out of the interview…and Alba doesnt do those kind of roles. I hope they dont tone it down just to accomadate her. Brittany’s small role suited her and she did a good job…Rosario’s role was cheesy to me…she tried too hard, you know what I mean…whe just wasnt convincing in my opinion. Clive and Marv sold the movie for me though…they were the best!!!

does anyone know if Jessica Alba will be back? i doubt Willis will be back as he shot himself in the head and really, even for a comic book movie he shouldn’t be alive by then. i loved Jessica’s role and thought she did pretty well acting and of course, she’s gorgious. it’ll be good to have clive and rosario back, brittany murphy im not too excited about. i thought her character was a bit lame and dull. all in all, im exstatic that sequels will be in the making.

Oh, whatta good piece of news, my friends! I’ve just seen the movie (the first one, obviously), just 2 days ago, because here in spain this movie’s started to be shown recently. I’m still thinkin’ ’bout the incredible movie Rodriguez has created… yes, based on the comic, but it is really amazing the way he did it.

hartigan, and Rourke: Amazing!! I’m really surprised for Rourke’s acting. Very pleased with him.

Well, I’ll stop by here regularly, in order to get more info about the next Sin Cities, you know.

Thanx a lot.

PS: ah, I’m gonna post an article about my impressions, oppinion, etc… about Sin City in my blog (it will be written in spanish, but you all are invited to come around it). I’d be a pleasure for me to receive your comments there too

I doubt hartigan will be in the second film since he blows his own brains out in the end of the first film. (sin city 2 will take place before the first film f.y.i).and i think “that yellow basterd” was the only graphic novel he was in, opposed to dwight being in practically everyone of them. Does anyone READ the sin city books or have just seen the movie? As for the michael madsen comment, the only performence i ever liked of his was “mr. blond” in “reservoir dogs”when he hacks the cop’s ear off! >XDDDD

Pablo, King Arthur is certainly a british story, filled with british actors but the director was Antoine Fuqua, couldn’t be more american. He has does movies like Bait with Jamie fox and Training Day with Denzel Washington. He’s a decent filmaker but far from british, born in Pittsburgh. He is another music video director turned filmaker, videos like Coolio and Heavy D and the Boys. Then the producer of Arthur is Jerry Bruckhiemer because what doesn’t he produce? I don’t mind Jerry, he puts out good stuff sometimes but his films rarely focus on acting or story. If any producer is known for mindless action its Jerry. So this is a British story put in American hands and comercialized. I enjoyed the film, could have been better but enjoyable enough to buy. So I wouldn’t call it a British film, just a british story.
