MOVIE MOVIE WEEKEND

Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,

I have two fine selections for you today, and the second is the sequel to the first.

We are Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr.
We know we aren't as hot as Elvis Aaron Schwarz,
yet Janie seems to enjoy gazing upon us.

Now that you've seen the photo, perhaps you've guessed that the films are

Sherlock Holmes (2009)


AND

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows  (2011)


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

  1. I loved both of those movies as much as I love Robert Downey Jr., which is a whole heck of a lot :)

    1. I think you'd enjoy them. And I believe they're fine for kids who are old enough to follow the plot.

    1. I appreciate the endorsement, especially from the wise Mrs. C., whose somewhat mysterious nature fascinates me.

  4. Bud & I walked out of one of these--I think it was the second one--something we almost never do!

    1. I'm shocked! I hope you'll tell me what brought about such a strong reaction. I've never walked out of a movie.

    1. What we think we see and hear can be so much better than reality.
