Sin City (2005)Him and her came over on Saturday night and we watched Sin City, a film noir with enough hard-boiled dialogue to last anyone a lifetime. It is an incredibly stylishly shot movie with some great moments, but it is way too long. I wasn’t sure where it was going, but it did more or less manage to bring all the stray storylines together by the end. The violence was even more cartoony than Kill Bill V1. Oh, and it seems to be a guy movie. Jen and Kerry were not impressed.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)We had also rented The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, but we’re too old to stay up late enough to watch two movies so Jen and I watched it the next morning. It’s a very strange movie, but I really enjoyed it. For once Owen Wilson did not annoy me. The animated creatures sprinkled throughout the movie were cute and added a surreal touch and the story moved along at a reasonable pace. Cate Blanchett and Willem Dafoe had the best characters. Jen wasn’t impressed with this one either.
