Weekend Movie Marathon
Unwatched DVDs

Title: Sherlock Holmes
Year: 2009
Director: Guy Ritchie
Rating: PG-13
Length: 128 Min.
Video: Widescreen :1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1
Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Stars:
Robert Downey, Jr.
Jude Law
Rachel McAdams
Mark Strong
Eddie Marsan
Robert Maillet

Plot:
The hangman did his job. Dr. Watson declared the condemned man dead...and yet Lord Blackwood has emerged from the tomb to assert his deadly will over 1890 London. Is he in league with the forces of hell itself? Is the whole Empire in peril? It's a mystery macabre – and only Sherlock Holmes can master it.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law put memorable imprints on Holmes and Watson in this bold new reimagining that makes the legendary sleuth a daring man of action as well as a peerless man of intellect. Baffling clues, astonishing Holmesian deductions, nimble repartee, catch-your-breath scenes on one slam thing after another – director Guy Ritchie helms the excitement reintroducing the great detective to the world. Meet the new Sherlock Holmes !

Extras:
Scene Access
Bonus Trailers
Featurettes

My Thoughts:
When I first saw the trailer for this movie I was nothing more then disappointed. So much so that I didn't even have an urge to see the movie. The trailer made it look like they changed Sherlock Holmes into a pure action character. Thankfully that was not the case in the movie. They did a great job of balancing the action and the classic deductive reasoning of the classic Sherlock Holmes. I am so glad that this movie was given to me... as I don't think I would have bothered buying it... and I have to admit that I loved every minute of it!

Now here is where I expect to get flamed... I think they could have done a better job at casting Sherlock Holmes. To me Robert Downey, Jr. was only OK... passable in the role. Robert Downey, Jr. has always been hit or miss in my opinion... as I disliked him in just as many roles (if not more) then I actually liked him in. And while he did a fine job in the role... something just didn't seem quite right for some reason. Unlike his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man which I felt he was outstanding in. I loved the rest of the cast in their roles... but it just seemed like something was off on the main character of the movie. But that didn't take much away from my enjoyment of the movie... as I said... I still loved every minute of it.

Well, I think you're on RDJ, but each to his own! What I did praise this film for was being the only time I could recall where the relationship between Holmes and Watson was done properly. Jude Law as Watson is great because he is an active and important part of the double-act in every way, often the superior of the two, rather than just being a mere assistant.

But then the bloody BBC have to come along and ruin it!  ;) The pairing of Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson is arguably better in the new modern day set TV series. Other characters are better realised too, such as the modern equivalent of Le Strade.

It's difficult to judge whether those two are actually better than RDJ and Jude Law, because the movie dumbs down the mystery and their deductions in the name of entertainment. Again, that's something the new series does much better.



Here's a clip too. It starts abruptly, but really worth looking at about 1:50 in...

Oh I am sure I am in the minority when it comes to Robert Downey, Jr. I knew I would be while watching it. And I looked at past reviews... and seen every one of them praised him. So I knew as I typed it I would hear it about that!  And I am sure I still will as more people read my review.  :P

Title: Born to Be Sold
Year: 1981
Director: Burt Brinckerhoff
Rating: NR
Length: 97 Min.
Video: Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: N/A

Stars:
Lynda Carter
Harold Gould
Philip Sterling
Dean Stockwell
Sharon Farrell
Lloyd Haynes

Plot:
Lynda Carter is Kate Carlin, a caring social worker suddenly drawn into a horrid reality of underworld mayhem. Babies are bought from troubled teenagers and then are placed into the hands of unstable parents for a fee. As Kate investigates the businessman believed to be responsible, the band of villains working for him puts her life in danger. Threatened and manipulated, she jeopardizes her job desperately trying to crack the operation wide open.

Extras:
N/A

My Thoughts:
This movie is out of a boxset of old TV Movies that was recently given to me. A release called Life, Love and Romance. The first thing I noticed is that they didn't put too much time and effort into cleaning up the prints. I mean it wasn't terrible... but it was like watching a second generation VHS tape. The movie itself was pretty good. I definitely enjoyed it. And it was good to see Lynda Carter in another role. Though I must admit whenever I saw her character in trouble I half-heartedly expecting her to do her spin and turn into Wonder Woman.  :laugh:

The teen girl in this... the girl trying not to give up her baby... she looked familiar. The part is played by Donna Wilkes. Not a name that is very familiar to me. But Checking DVD Profiler I realized why she looked familiar to me. She was in an episode of The Incredible Hulk that I recently watched.

Title: Forces of Nature
Year: 1999
Director: Bronwen Hughes
Rating: PG-13
Length: 106 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround
Subtitles: English

Stars:
Sandra Bullock
Ben Affleck
Maura Tierney
Steve Zahn
Blythe Danner
Ronny Cox

Plot:
It's only two days before his wedding when Ben's (Ben Affleck) plane skids out of control, leaving him stranded in New York with no way home to his nervous fiancee in Savannah. Against his better judgment, the reliable groom-to-be hitches a ride with free-spirited traveler Sarah (Sandra Bullock)-setting off the year's most riotous road trip. At first, these two opposites attract nothing but trouble in a sidesplitting series of comic mishaps and unnatural disasters. But an irresistible attraction and the forces of nature threaten to detour them forever in this sexy, whirlwind adventure Jeffrey Lyons (WNBC-TV) declared, "a fun, hip ride"- one you'll never forget.

Extras:
Scene Access
Feature Trailers
Deleted Scenes
Featurettes
Production Notes

My Thoughts:
I went into this one expecting much of nothing... as I have heard this is one of Sandra Bullock's worst movies. I am actually sitting here kind of surprised by that. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I wonder if some people don't care for it as much because it didn't end the way you would suspect in a romantic comedy. I personally liked that about it. Granted I liked Sandra Bullock's character the best... and I would have probably made the opposite decision... but I do like that it didn't go with the obvious ending. Not many romantic comedies do that. This one is not a laugh out loud funny movie... but it is definitely entertaining and lighthearted. Though going by the people I talked to at least... I am in the minority thinking so.

Agreed that it's not the best of all possible movies, but I too liked it.
On the other hand that doesn't have to mean very much, I too liked "The Sweetest Thing", which is on several "Worst Film"-lists. :-[

Here we have another movie I enjoyed a lot. I liked all the characters... and the story was more then interesting. It surprises me that this is based on a true story.That kid definitely had some guts. I thought that both Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio did a fine job in this one. I also enjoyed Christopher Walken. If you ever find yourself looking for an entertaining true story... you could definitely do worse then this one. I would recommend checking it out.

Is there an interview with the real Frank on your dvd? It's fascinating. His life was even crazier than depicted. They had to tone it down to make it work as a drama!

Yeah that will be it. It tells you how he eventually designed most of the common anti fraud techniques, which is one heck of a turn around!
