May 14, 2024, 06:11:47 AMYoung Sherlock Holmes  My ThoughtsI'm not sure when I first heard about this movie, though I think the first time I really got interested was after it was mentioned in an episode of Big Bang Theory. Then I found out when watching A Pixar Story that Pixar did effects for the movie, and that got me even more interested in seeing it. So when I spotted the DVD at Wal-Mart for only $5, I grabbed it. I'm really glad I got it. I have been watching more Sherlock Holmes movies in the last few months and I really like the character. I really liked this variation, showing how Sherlock and Watson might have been when they were younger. I know it doesn't fit in with the stories, but that's ok for me. It is a very entertaining, fun movie and I think the way the characters of Sherlock and Watson act remain true to the essence of the characters. One thing even seems to be a bit of a possible explanation for why Sherlock doesn't get married later in life. The mystery is decent and while it isn't that difficult to figure out, there are still one or two surprises and some suspense at times. The former professor character is very interesting. He is a bit eccentric and has all sorts of experiments going on..something that Sherlock does later in life. Pixar geek that I am, I got extremely excited when I saw Pixar and Lasseter in the credits for the special effects. I really enjoyed this one. It is a fun, entertaining movie that is definitely worth watching.  I did post a review on Epinions a few days ago if anyone would like to take a look at that. Young Sherlock Holmes |

My Thoughts:
I have always loved the Nightmare on Elm Street films. So while in one way I looked forward to this movie... I also dreaded it... as I always thought it was Robert Englund that made this franchise what it is. So I was a little more then concerned when I heard he wouldn't be playing Freddy Krueger.
While it isn't a bad movie... I was left a bit disappointed. I could enjoy it for what it is.... but I definitely prefer the original over this remake. First of all there was something off about Freddy. While I could get used to the different voice... they made him less comedic which is a good thing of course. But at the same time they still wanted him to mouth off a bit. And I just don't think they were able to pull off the combination as well as they should have. Then there is the character of Nancy... which is a character I really liked in the original... but in the remake she just wasn't nearly as a likable character. Other then that I did enjoy the movie for what it is... and I am not sorry I got it. I can definitely see myself watching it again.

In the world of Chobits, PCs are now computers which are looking like people. When I first saw this series, I expected the premise to be more interesting. Even though it is a good anime.
