What Was The Last Movie/Anime You Watched?

What burningdoom said. Part of what makes Sin City work is by not placing it in any one historical context, which allows the setting to blend elements from old pulp novels, film noir, martial arts, classic cars, 70's exploitation, etc. It's about as postmodern as it gets.

it explains almost nothing about it's world and how it runs, i dont even know what year this movie supposed to take's place in. i'm supposed to be immersed in the world of sin city but that cant happen when the movie doesn't like to explain its self

It's a fictional tale, it really doesn't matter what year it takes place. They aren't shooting for historical accuracy.

i'm looking for historical accuracy here but there is a part in the movie ware one of the characters is in jail and he telling us how much time has gone by and it like they were trying to set up a time frame but forgot add the year that this movie take place in. there's other parts in this movie that never get explained

Yeah, like the others said, I think it's more of a mood that they're trying to set, not pinpointing any particular year. It's also a nostalgic look at a particular time, and nostalgia is not usually rooted in truth.
I don't think you'll really be able to look for historical accuracy in that one since it's not a period piece film.

I just saw 2 movies. Rise of the apes and Hangover II.
Apes - kind of blah all the way through til the very end and then it just ends. Not anywhere as nifty as commercials made it look
Hangover - Lots of seriously funny parts. Just as good as the first. Shockingly a 3rd was just announced a couple days ago too. Hopefully its the last cause that cant continue. :)

Olympus Has Fallen. Absolutely a treat to watch. The only complaint was the catalyst element in the beginning. Not very believable.
