If you were to travel back to the nondescript year of 2004 in your time machine (hopefully of the hot tub variety) and tune into one of those crappy upstart TV stations (the CW in this case) you’d find a little show about a girl detective who, while solving campy mysteries, also has to deal…
Continuing the trend of adapting graphic novels to the screen Dimension Films brings thier first look of Sin City: A Dame To Kill For to viewers. The main players like innocent stripper Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba), moral hulk Marv (Mickey Rourke), powerful prostitute Gail (Rosario Dawson) and upstanding cop John Hartigan (Bruce Willis) have returned…

That said, while his latter-period work…
Comb-overs, perms, cravats, disco, embezzlement and corruption — American Hustle has it all and then some. And like Scott Cooper’s film, “Out of the Furnace,” David O.
