David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture - a brilliant scathing hysterical and haunting ode to Hollywood. A mysterious dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) emerges from an accident with a purse full of cash and a head full of amnesia. Meanwhile Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) a wide-eyed gal from Deep River Ontario has just landed in Los Angeles with dreams of movie super stardom. When Betty finds the nameless beauty in her aunt's apartment she is deeply intrigued by the situation and offers to help her. This sends the two women on a bizarre search for the truth through the macabre sun-soaked streets of the City of Angels where the mob a young film director (Justin Theroux) a studio executive with a tiny head and an enigmatic figure named the Cowboy all float into the picture then out again until there is no longer any distinction between what is dream and what is reality. Originally filmed as a pilot for the American Channel ABC Lynch's daring open-ended vision was coldly rejected by the network. As he was about to abandon the project French producer Pierre Edelman convinced Lynch to rethink it as a feature. The result is this stunning expression of the subconscious a testament to the power of personal artistic vision.

Pulp Fiction: Quentin Tarantino assembles an all-star cast for a skilfully woven tale of small-time gangster life in a most ambitious and provocative film Pulp Fiction. Bruce Willis and John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson deliver career performances as petty thugs in LA's criminal underworld - where gritty confrontations fast talk and perverse humour are all part of the daily grind. Nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award and winner of Best Original Screenplay Award in 1995 this boldly inventive and expertly orchestrated crime saga is hailed by critics as a landmark achievement in modern filmmaking! Sin City: Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough the corrupt the brokenhearted. Some call it dark. Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call it home. Crooked cops. Sexy dames. Desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge. Others lust after redemption. And then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care. Three stories - shocking suspenseful and searing - come to the fore in a new motion picture from co-directors Frank Miller (comics idol and author of the Sin City comics) and Robert Rodriguez - with special guest director Quentin Tarantino! Sin City was one of several films around the world to be shot on a completely ""digital backlot""; with all the acting shot in front of a green screen and the backgrounds added during post-production). While the other movies Immortel (ad vitam) (2004) Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) and Casshern (2004) were shot first Rodriguez's use of High-Definition digital cameras (like 'Sky Captain') in addition to the 'backlot' method makes Sin City one of the world's first 'fully-digital' live action motion pictures. Desperate to create Sin Cityas a translation rather than a 'Hollywood' adaptation Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller actually used the panels from the original comic books as storyboards for the movie. The visual style strongly echoes the comics throughout with the black and white footage broken up momentarily by splashes of colour in certain scenes - a similar effect was used in Pleasantville. Needless to say this all contributes to make - possibly - the greatest most authentic comic book 'translation' yet...
