Parov Stelar - The Princess

Parov Stelar - The Princess
The video comes from Sin City, the music is not. I saw the original Sin City, which, if memory serves, was a grim little tale.

I kind of guessed where the video came from, just from the look and feel of it. Then we get the sign for Basin City (2:37) and it was certain.

Parov Stellar has appeared hear before, though it only had one L that time.

We saw this movie once before, probably when it came out and we just watched it again. It's pretty great: a bank robbery where nothing is taken and nobody gets caught, but Denzel eventually figures out what happened.

Directed by Spike Lee. I've know he's made a bunch of movies, but the only other movie of his that I've seen is Oldboy. I've seen the stars in a bunch of other movies. Links go to IMDB unless otherwise noted.

25th Hour

25th Hour with Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman, directed by Spike Lee. Grim little story of a guy's last day before beginning a seven year stretch in the Otisville penitentiary. They bring in bits and pieces of the past to show how things came to this sorry pass. He spends some time with a couple of old friends from high school, or maybe even as far back as elementary school, his dad and his girlfriend. He visits his mob connections, we find out who tipped off the cops, though we don't really find out why. We can imagine any number of reasons, but we never find out. There's a bit of a fantasy at the end of not going to prison, but I suspect that never happens. Not a very happy story.

    We do have Rosario Dawson, who is certainly nice to look at. She's been in several other films that I've seen (Men in Black II, Death Proof and Sin City), not that I remember her, but then I'm kind of shallow that way. It was difficult to find a full length picture of her. Lots of pictures of her face and breasts, and a few that reached to her knees, but hardly any that went all the way to her toes. I am now officially impressed with Dustbury's ability to deliver cheesecake.

Way over the top shoot 'em up gangster movie. Best show I've seen in a long time. Take equal parts Pulp Fiction, John Wick and Clint Eastwood, stir liberally, add a pinch of Sin City and serve. Near continuous action, superb fight choreography and fabulous sets, but it's the little things, too many to count, that send it over the top into comedy.
