Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
I have two fine selections for you today, and the second is the sequel to the first.
Both movies are available on DVD and are quite enjoyable. I love the stylish moves by the actors, the period costumes, the sharp editing, the total look of the films, and taking the time to inspect Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. Well done, Director Guy Ritchie!
Even the musical score sounds mysterious, yet whimsical. I love the presentation of these films. The main characters are brilliant, yet amusing. The plots are fun, but intricate enough that I had to pay attention to know what was going on.
Poor Dr. Watson (Jude Law). In the first movie, he tries to get married but never quite makes it because he must assist Sherlock. In the second movie, Watson marries, but he ends up taking his "honeymoon" trip with Holmes, who never misses a clue.
Madam Simza Heron: What do you see?
Sherlock Holmes: Everything. That is my curse.
These two films have The Janie Junebug Seal of Approval.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
I loved both of those movies as much as I love Robert Downey Jr., which is a whole heck of a lot :)
ReplyDeleteRobert is a hottie, isn't he? And such a good actor.
DeleteThose both look like good movies. One of these days, I'll have to watch them.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd enjoy them. And I believe they're fine for kids who are old enough to follow the plot.
DeleteMrs. C and I enjoyed both of these movies. We share your enthusiasm and also recommend them highly.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the endorsement, especially from the wise Mrs. C., whose somewhat mysterious nature fascinates me.
DeleteBud & I walked out of one of these--I think it was the second one--something we almost never do!
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked! I hope you'll tell me what brought about such a strong reaction. I've never walked out of a movie.
DeleteWhat Janie likes, must be good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my love. You are so sweet.
DeleteI love Robert Downey Jr. and his lovely wife. Jude is one stylin' dude.
ReplyDeleteAs I scanned your comment, for a moment I thought you were saying that Jude is Robert's wife. tee-hee
DeleteSaw the first one. The second is on my to see list.
ReplyDeleteI liked the second one just a bit better than the first.
DeleteYou have wonderful taste in films :) I love the Sherlock Holmes movies and the delicious men who portray the characters ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you. It's obvious that you have lovely taste.
DeleteYou said selections I read skeltons and that made me giggle because as I read on I thought what does this have to do with skeltons and went back and re-read the start and realised my mistake......silly me
ReplyDeleteWhat we think we see and hear can be so much better than reality.
