Sin City
We check Frank Miller's Sin City Saturday, the movie adaptation that is. I've read most of the comics (or graphic novels, whatever), and enjoyed them - I don't like comics a lot, but Miller's stark black-and-white style pleases me.
Sin City - the movie - certainly looks very good. However, the content's a bit lacking... The stories are very unoriginal, and I must say I'm a bit annoyed by the women of Sin City, all of which are either whores, in need of rescue or whores in need of rescue. It's always the men, who come and rescue the women...
Despite that, the movie is certainly worth watching if one's looking for an interesting action movie. It's probably a bit too violent and a little bit too long, but hey, it looks good, that's enough for me.

Howl's Moving Castle
We saw the latest Hayao Miyazaki movie, Howl's Moving Castle yesterday. It was wonderful! Miyazaki seems to have a thing for steampunk imagery, and this was no exception. There were loads of steam-powered inventions, cars and warmachines. I particularly enjoyed the huge flying things that moved by flapping their wings.
It was quite magical, indeed. The plot was somewhat tricky, as there was very little exposition as such. You just have to figure it out, or be left puzzled. I thought the story had pleasing details: people's reaction to war, aging (all the more important since my birthday is today - I'm already 25, *gasp*), how the characters weren't good or bad but something in between... It was all very good and well done.
