"Sin" preem tonight
Good buzz is building on the film adaptation of "Frank Miller's Sin City," which is having its Hollywood premiere tonight. Variety's Todd McCarthy gave the film a positive review that starts like this:
Lurid run the streets of "Sin City," as aggressively faithful a rendering of a comic book aesthetic as has been put on the bigscreen with live actors. Deeply and digitally noir with the occasional slash of bold color to highlight a dame's golden hair or red lips and dress, Robert Rodriguez's guild-bolting collaboration with graphic artist Frank Miller is a Mickey Spillane fever dream, with a gallery of tough customers doing nasty things to each other on a shimmering monochrome canvas. For geeks, action freaks and sensation-seeking teenage boys of all ages, the price of admission will provide a one-way ticket to hard-boiled heaven, generating potent theatrical B.O. and even stronger returns in the homescreen afterlife.

Yes, things look promising this summer, in my opinion. Many over at The Watchmen Dot Com, are saying that Sin City will have a lot to do with the success of that movie. So here's hoping.
