Sherlock Holmes

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

holmesLet me start off first by saying, very well produced movie.  You can see the Guy Ritchie in it.  Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law do a great job.

I do have two problems with the flick.  First of all, all the hype.  I held off watching this movie due to all the hype.  Second, I was once a avid Sherlock Holmes reader, and I can tell you he was never this much of an ass-kicker.  Roberty Downey Jr.’s character is fucking rambo, really ?  See this is a hollywood blockbuster movie, cinematics, hype, action, typical makings for a revenue machine.  This formula works for economics but not necessarily to make a timeless good flick.

Is it worth watching ?  Of course, I am however going to go against the grain on the ratings and put it down to around a 6.8/10, but I doubt you would be disappointed.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

boondock2Despite hearing negative reviews, I went ahead and checked it out for myself.  I don’t know what people were complaining about, sure the movie was a little more matrix-shoot-em-up then the first one, but it was good!

Good ol’ fashioned bang bang action-comedy-drama.  If you liked the origional Boondock Saints, you’ll be safe with this one.

I’m giving it 7/10.

It’s Complicated

itscomplicatedMeryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin.  Not a bad cast really, they all played pretty good roles.  Alec Baldwin’s character pretty much reminded me of his character from 30 rock.  I don’t really have much to say about this one, it was entertaining.  If you are into a Comedy/Romance, then this will fit the bill.

6.5/10.

Wassup Rockers

wassuprockersWow, I’m almost at a loss for words on this one.  This movie sure enough has IFC all over it.  The only recognizable person was Janice Dickinson… wha?  Since when does she act ?  Yeah.. she doesn’t, and her role made that clear.  She had a small role anyway.

So going into this movie I expected some sort of Lords of Dogtown knockoff, but it wasn’t that.  In fact, there is no plot… just a bunch of teenage latino kids in the ghetto living a day, which might I add is a pretty ridiculous day.

If you have anything else more remotely interesting, watch that first.  I’m going with a 4/10.
