A Trip to The City of Sin in The Kingdom of Heaven
I went to the movies last night with some friends and saw two movies in a row.
The first was Sin City.
And wow, what a movie! It's extremely stylistic, violent and exaggerated and completely unlike anything else you'll have seen. The characters are very extreme in every way. The setting is highly inspired by the film noir style of the 1940 and 1950's; dark, pessimistic and full of despair. Loads of great one-lines and almost non-stop action. Not a dull moment in the whole movie.
I haven't read the comics, which I probably should have as the story pretty much entirely escaped me.
Be sure to catch this while it's still in the cinemas!
Second up was Kingdom of Heaven.
Directed by Ridley Scott and with Orlando Bloom as the lead character this is a classic battle movie along the lines of Troy. The acting was a bit dodgy at times, but the battle sequences were really huge and fascinating with a lots of small details. It was pretty slow coming straight from Sin City, and my experience of it probably suffered from not being able to compete with it by a long shot. Nice mellow, relaxing movie, though.
Oh yeah, I'm still working on the WikiDialog Reader project, now entitled WikiAdventure, and a temporary "home page" for it can be found here.
