Got it set to go on my rental list.

I have them all set to the same priority level so the films I recieve are more or less random from a list of some 180+ films.

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" (2011)
-Robert Downey jr, Jude Law

Plot: IMDB
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and his longtime trusted associate, Doctor Watson (Jude Law), take on their arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), with the help of Holmes's older brother Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) and a gypsy named Sim (Noomi Rapace).

Phantom's Review: First, let me say, I'm a huge Holmes fan. I've read all the original stories and novels, seen dozens of films, collect the comic book, etc,. So when Downey Jr's version of Holmes hit theaters a couple of years ago I was just a bit curious about this new grungier action hero Holmes. Much to my surprise, I thought it was pretty damn good, and the sequel is even better. it follows the same style as the first one, but has a much better villain and a more interesting story. A rare sequel that's even better than the first.

I liked it but maybe not as much as the first.

Some Spoilers:

I thought Jared Harris played a great Moriarty and there was some genuine chemistry in the scenes with hime and Holmes.

The inclusion of Irene Adler was kinda pointless.

I like some of Holmes crap disguises :-)

Moran was clearly not a gentlemen now way did he get an accent like that in Eton and they'd never let an oik like him become a Colonel. He'd wouldn't be let into the clubs that he would be later thrown out of :-)


On a side note, phantomstranger. Have you read this, its a nice light hearted take on the Greatest Consulting Villian with some mention of that Baker St dectective too:

Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows

Went ahead and grabbed "Splice".
Interesting. Watchable.

What ya think?

The Crazies (Remake).

I haven't seen the original yet but this isn't a bad movie. The ending is terribly predictable however. It's probably one of the most predictable endings I've ever seen and I kind of want a sequel because I like both of the main actors. I also want to see the story from the military side. Kind of like 28 Weeks Later. An actress I liked from the Friday the 13th remake is in this as well. Her death in Friday the 13th was the point when I didn't care about that movie anymore. But her fate is a bit more respectable in The Crazies.

This was so bad. I found the documentary style really boring but that could just be me. I don't think they did enough with what they had and it felt really quick and that it dragged at the same time. The exorcism scenes were good but the ending was really lazy and sloppy and one of the worst endings i've ever seen.

The original's pretty good. It's not the prettiest film to look at (it's age and low budget do it no favours) but it's rather an enjoyably unsettling film.
