Sim City

It's hard to review a movie that you haven't seen, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to try.

My brother calls me up this evening with the news: "Sim City is good. Rob old ladies to get the money for this one." As tempting as smacking around an old lady might be, I can't help but wonder if it's that good.

I websearch for "Sin City" and get a few reviews. All favorable.

I websearch for images of "Sin City". It's like looking at a 3D version of the comic book. Sometimes I luck out and the character image is next to that of the actor portraying him. I dunno who played Marv, but that one is nailed.

So critics like it, and it matches the original works graphically - and I like the original works a lot. It's hard not to want to watch this one, save 2 details.

1) It's rated R, probably for mucho violence.
2) There's nakedity in it. Probably not much actual sex, but definitely some nippage. (There's a few pics of Nancy online, and how do you do that without nippage?).
3) I have kids.

So I can't just pop it in the player during the day. And it's money we don't have.

But if you don't have kids, and don't find violence and nakedity objectionable... it's probably a damn good ride.
