Sin City Review
Many of the reviews for this movie cite the violence and objectifying of women as reasons why this film does not appeal to the fairer sex. There is no doubt that Sin City is an intense viewing experience, visceral, in-your-face and unashamedly hard-boiled noir...but my mum LOVES this film. She reckons it shows men being men for all the right reasons: love, honour and integrity. The female characters are strong women who dominate the men at every moment and any emasculation which takes place is performed by men on men, not by female characters. There is no escaping the fact that the film is stunning - the breathtakingly original transference of Frank Miller's source texts onto the screen is sublime. Don't be put off by the high body count, stark storylines and non-stop violence...this makes the perfect Mother's Day gift!

Not only did the "perfect mothers day gift" line make me laugh out loud it also made me order this on dvd, that and Alex talking about it every time I see him.

You really need to explain this is a quote before the start of the post, so that I get really confused that your mum loves Sin City and also that you use lots of long words and I wonder where you've copied and pasted it from! Oh right, Amazon!
See, it all makes sense in the end, isn't that what really matters? But fair point, I should make it clear from the start.
