I can see SIN CITY riding high in my top ten of 2005 when I get to post it in a couple of weeks, and I think that the DVD release SIN CITY RECUT will be near the top of my ten best DVD's of the year, after seeing what Rodriguez and co. have got in stoe for us. The double disc hits stores just in time for Chrimbo, loaded (and when I say loaded - I mean loaded!) ith extras. I've listed the features in full below, and courtesy of the fine folks at Buena Vista, we have a look at the DVD packshot, and the cooler than cool screenshots from the release itself. Add this to your Christmas list now!!! Click any of these to enlarge.
