Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is a 2014 American crime thriller film and follow-up to the 2005 film Sin City. Co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, the script is written by Miller, and is primarily based on the second book in the Sin City series by Miller.

One of the smaller plots of the film is based on the short story Just Another Saturday Night, which is collected in Booze, Broads, & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series. Two original stories (The Long Bad Night and Nancy's Last Dance) were created exclusively for the film written by Miller.

The film stars an ensemble cast including returning cast members Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Bruce Willis, Jaime King, and Powers Boothe. Newcomers to the series include Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta, Christopher Lloyd, Jamie Chung, Jeremy Piven, Christopher Meloni, and Juno Temple.

The world of Sin City exists in hard-edged black and white, though occasionally a streak of colour tears through the darkness — such as the stony green eyes and sticky red lips belonging to Ava (Eva Green), a strange woman from a house on the hill, surrounded by tough guys and high walls. Ava has the alcoholic P.I. Dwight (Josh Brolin, replacing Clive Owen) wound around her stiletto heel, and their forbidden courtship is one of the film’s three interlocking narratives.

The Brolin-Green thread serves as the central plot, although the film climaxes with a separate, long-teased sequence in which one of the first film’s murders is avenged by Marv and Nancy, Jessica Alba’s whisky-stewed exotic dancer. The odd-story-out centres on Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a young gambler on a lucky streak who sits down opposite the city’s corrupt Senator Roark (Powers Boothe) at a high-stakes poker game. Johnny takes the politician for everything he has and heads out into the night to celebrate, although the past comes rushing out of an alleyway like a stray dog, snapping at his heels.

It’s not sex that turns on Miller and Rodriguez, but power, especially the abuse of it.

Life of Crime

Life of Crime is a 2013 American crime comedy-drama film directed and written by Daniel Schechter based on Elmore Leonard's novel The Switch.

The film has an interesting plot. Stoic socialite Mickey Dawson becomes the target of an ill-planned kidnapping plot by a pair of fumbling ex-cons, Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara, looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. However, things quickly become complicated for the duo when they find out her wealthy husband, Frank, refuses to pay the ransom... as he was on the cusp of filing for divorce to make way for his younger mistress, Melanie Ralston. The two have to figure out how to quickly turn the tables around on their predicament before their time runs out.

Airplane vs. Volcano

When a commercial airliner is trapped within a ring of erupting volcanoes, the passengers and crew must find a way to survive - without landing. But when the relentless onslaught of lava and ash causes fear and distrust amongst those onboard, it isn't just the volcanoes that are life-threatening. Everyone must learn to work together if they are to survive their epic flight of fire.

Airplane vs. Volcano is directed by The Kondelik Brothers - James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik, written by James Kondelik (screenplay), Jon Kondelik (screenplay) and stars Dean Cain, Robin Givens, Tamara Goodwin and others.
