The Hound of the Baskervilles
$19.98
I watch every permutation there is of any of the Sherlock Holmes series. None of the Watsons ever seemed the sort of person that a brilliant mind like Holmes would give the time of day to. This Watson- Ian Hart- is smart, active, morally outraged and rescues Holmes in the end, despite having been shot himself. If I were Homes, THIS is who I'd want watching my back.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [UMD for PSP]
$19.98
LXG is a flashy stylized action comic book movie, that fails to create desire for a sequel due to bad acting and bad writing. Sadly enough it's one of the worst comic adaptations, and it managed to cause Alan Moore to lose faith in Hollywood. One of the greatest comic writers suffers a big embarassment in this film. Lucky enough for him, his other adaptations, which he refuses to watch, are outstanding (V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell). I can watch this movie and be entertained, but I can't give it credit for much of anything. It's fight scenes are definately watchable, but everything else received no critical attention.

The Good: LXG is very slick and cool in terms of it's style. The color palette and clothing are interesting, as is its sets and cinematography. The fight scenes are thrilling, and the CG is very realistic. I was glad to see a more realistic approach to the special effects, and not some goofy computer animated sigh-fest. As for the good of this film, that gets me to watch it every now and then, this is it.

The Bad: The wonderful cast is slaughtered with horrible witty lines scattered endlessly throughout the script. No one wants to see quirks and quips, we want realistic relations. These actors can't make the dialogue seem real at all, and it's horrible to watch. If I watched this in another language it might be more entertaining. I hate to see nearly every line a joke, and not a moment of seriousness within the film. It should have been handed to better writers and a better director, and it would have been a beautiful film. We now have proof, that "Blade" was begginner's luck.

I'm the type of viewer/reviewer who can sit down and watch the cheesy ones every now and then. Some movies are almost unbearably campy, but they still manage to entertain. If you can stay on the sunny side, then LXG might be worth your bucks. If you are easily annoyed you might want to stay far away from the film. There's plenty of great comic book adaptations out there. It's just sad LXG isn't one of them.

Under investigation for a fatal shooting, Detective Richard Treloar is transferred to a desk job at the Police Museum. While preparing a photographic exhibition, he becomes obsessed by an archival image of a beautiful murder victim.
