		<description><![CDATA[Despite my Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Zodiac, Iron Man and Tropic Thunder love for Robert Downey Jr., as well as an awkward fondness for Jude Law and his crazy hairline, the predecessor for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, 2009’s Sherlock Holmes, didn’t meet my entertainment litmus test, which means I was lukewarm in my initial viewing, fell asleep in the second and have not watched the movie since, nor do I have plans to pop in the Blu-ray anytime soon. Seems harsh, right? Well, sleepy time at the movies can make me grouchy, because I never fall asleep in the movie theater. Last time? 1979 when I saw Star Trek: The Motion Picture with my dad. True story. As for Sherlock Holmes, most of the time I just couldn’t follow what was happening &#8211; the edits sucked, the cinematography was dark – and to be frank, it seemed the story revolved more around how much Downey Jr. the filmmakers could thrust at the viewer than on story. Definitely not one of my favorite films. Sigh. Sad face. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately in some cases, when a film costs $90 million and it reaps half a billion dollars, sequels are greenlit, budgets are increased ($125 million) and Guy Ritchie gets another change to either delight me or make me cranky. Maybe his 2008 divorce from Madonna is more in the rear view mirror than before, because this time around Ritchie’s A Game of Shadows is crisp, quick, easier to digest and relies more on a plethora of delightful characters and camaraderie than it does on the talents (and overuse) of Downey Jr. Another reason Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows succeeds? The movie’s villain – Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris) is more like Hannibal Lecter than he is the other film’s mysterious baddie, Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), and Harris projects this confident sinister ambience in every scene he inhabits. Also, fans of the first movie should remember Moriarty was teased as the next bad guy, as Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) revealed to Holmes (Downey Jr.) the prominent professor was and is her employer and that he would be a formidable rival to London’s greatest detective. And this is where the story begins with A Game of Shadows: Holmes is investigating bombings aroundEurope and believes they are being devised by Moriarty. Of course Holmes’ trustworthy partner and friend, Dr. Watson (Jude Law) – and his lovely fiancé, Mary (Kelly Reilly) get roped into a post-wedding adventure across Europe that finds the group mingling with gypsies inParis, including Sim (Noomi Rapace), and trekking off toGermany to discover Moriarty’s evil designs. I’ll leave the storyline alone, as I don’t want to spoil any surprises, twists and turns, but suffice it to say, this is one of those rare times a the sequel is absolutely better than the original. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a complete movie – action, laughs, a smidgen of romance – and all told with Ritchie’s unique flair...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ll be honest, I had zero desire to see Repo Men early on its marketing, but after some slick TV spots and this director’s cut red band trailer, my curiosity is certainly piqued and I’m actually looking forward to attending the screening this evening. Plus, the cast – Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), Liev Schrieber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Alice Braga (Blindness) – isn’t what I would call the C-list variety. These are bona fide talents and I’m hoping it all comes together nicely. Look for my review on Thursday or Friday!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Downey Jr. has become a force of nature. Once just a great actor, the dude has seen his career resuscitated into the open arms of an adoring public who now sees him as their cinematic best friend to giddily bury under spade fulls of lavish praise. If there&#8217;s any doubt Downey Jr.&#8217;s charm and dynamism will single-handedly open Sherlock Holmes to fat gobs of cash while allowing director Guy Ritchie a leg up and out of his London Gangster limbo, it&#8217;s from idiots. Still, while Downey Jr. is an Alpha vortex personified, his onscreen largess only serves to magnify how listless Holmes: 2009 would be without him. Ditching the detective hat for a ruffled mop of 2000-vogue bedhead, 5 o&#8217;clock shadow and fisticuffs, Downey Jr. effortlessly breathes new life into the famed Detective of Baker Street in the resurrection of Sherlock Homes&#8211; a standard movie by all counts but one elevated from bore to pleasant distraction by the sheer power of Downey Jr.. Jude Law keeps pace as the bowler hat wearing, mustachio&#8217;d sidekick and maybe-more-than-a-friend Watson (now with chop-sockey action), while McAdams&#8211;for all her sex appeal and on-screen magneticism displayed in other roles&#8211; is utterly lost in Downey Jr.&#8217;s wake as muse Irene Adler. After years of sleuthing across foggy, dark and grimy Londontown, Holme&#8217;s career seems to be winding down after nemesis Lord Blackwood (an unintimidating Mark Strong) is captured and hung. As it turns out, Watson is actually straight (or creating an overly elaborate beard) with plans to be married. Unfortunately for Watson, Holmes is doing his best to undermine the new marriage and is going stir-crazy with a lack of juicy mystery when one is plopped in his lap. Holmes&#8217; lady-love/heartbreaker Irene Adler is back in town and Lord Blackwood and his mean snaggletooth aren&#8217;t quite as dead as onlookers, including Dr. Watson, thought.  Always one to deduce, Holmes smells something nefarious and commits himself to the case of the &#8220;Supernatural Bad Guy Intent to Rule the World&#8221;. Sherlock Holmes retains the air of horse-drawn, top-hatted oldtimery in visual only. The new Holmes has received some adrenaline juice with a boom, boom, pow sense of modernity. After all, thinking is boring and 21st century audiences demand some ass kicking. But here&#8217;s one of a few problems: for a movie about a detective, Sherlock Holmes never has much mystery. Oh sure, there&#8217;s a mystery, but in the end you know it will all be explained and the mask removed to reveal a fist-shaking Mr. Rumplebottom vowing he could have pulled it all off it weren&#8217;t for that meddling kid. There&#8217;s little tension in this modern day Holmes. Everything is spoon-fed via a plot that isn&#8217;t propelled by the unraveling of mystery so much as it is flying fists of English fury, moments of peril and chases. Holmes legendary deduction, once a breadcrumb to the audience, is simply exposition to allow Holmes and Watson (who, while looking like a dandy fop in the poster, can beat some...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aside from watching chestnuts roasting on an open fire and Jack Frost nipping at my nether-regions, I think I&#8217;ll be snacking on some popcorn and sipping a frosty Diet Coke at the theater and watching Guy Ritchie&#8217;s Sherlock Holmes. A second trailer US trailer was released today and, even though not really showing us anything that new, it merely confirms to me that which I already assume: This movie is pure win. How can it not be? Guy Ritchie&#8217;s style plus Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law&#8217;s charisma plus the lovely Rachel McAdams is a surefire holiday hit in my book. I must be obsessed with Holmes, because it&#8217;s been my Trailer Tuesday on two separate occasions &#8211; once in May and again in July. What about you? Is this on your radar for the holiday season? If not, have you considered slapping yourself in the face or punching your own private parts? Because you should. Take a peek below and leave a comment as to your opinion, won&#8217;t you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the International Trailer for Guy Ritchie&#8217;s new movie, &#8220;Sherlock Holmes,&#8221; due in theaters on Christmas Day. As you probably know, it stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and the lovely Rachel McAdams. As you watch the trailer you&#8217;ll probably recognize a few other Ritchie regulars, including Mark Strong (&#8220;RocknRolla,&#8221; &#8220;Body of Lies,&#8221; &#8220;Stardust&#8221;). I think the trailer is enough mix of substance and tease to make this a surefire hit come December 25th. I can also say, being a huge Robert Downey Jr. fan, that I&#8217;m pining for this to further his career and expand his reputation as one of Hollywood&#8217;s brightest. Take a peek at the trailer below. What&#8217;s your call?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Robert Downey Jr. lovefest has been in full swing since last year&#8217;s &#8220;Iron Man&#8221; and &#8220;Tropic Thunder,&#8221; and deservedly so. Downey Jr. has a natural charisma and fantastic acting chops that his drugged out years of disillusionment never stopped. Based on what I&#8217;ve seen in this &#8220;Sherlock Holmes&#8221; trailer, I have to say to both Downey Jr. and Guy Ritchie, &#8220;Bravo, sir.&#8221; This looks absolutely fantastic.]]></description>
