The Black Donnellys (2007)
The makings of a great show
If there is something Paul Haggis is good at, it's storytelling.
The pilot was as captivating as a pilot can hope to be. The story begins to come together after the first ten minutes of an 'introduction' and it's an entertaining ride with thought behind it.
This casting is good, the characters have plenty of depth to play with and the writing is, well, Paul Haggis.
There's a lot of potential and I hope we see a great run from the Black Donnellys. It would be a pity if this goes the Arrested Development route.
Though, this is a very different show.
Sin City (2005)
Perhaps only for the comic fans?
Sadly doesn't quite live up to the hype.
I suspect it's more relevant to the comic book fans and if you are not one of them, don't expect too much. Of the 'must' see movies of 2005 this is probably the most disappointing.
Long before it was released there were rumors that this would be the Pulp Fiction of the decade.
Not quite. Not even the same ballpark.
I'd still give a 6/10 for a decent attempt to do something different. It does have a decent cast though it doesn't really make a difference given the kind of movie this is.
