Quick and Dirty Movie Reviews
December 29th, 2009 — Action, Adventure, Mystery
Basic Plot: The game’s afoot, and Holmes is on the chase!
Outburst: Entertaining wit, engaging fights, and a clever Sherlock concept make this a fun movie. I had a few small quibbles with minor details, but overall was vastly pleased.
/DVD — It’s just a fun sort of movie. While not technically steampunk, I think fans of steampunk and/or Holmes will want to add this to their DVD collections as well.
December 12th, 2009 — Comedy, Martial Arts
Basic Plot: Scrawny kid who watches too many kung-fu movies is magically transported to another realm in which he must return a mystical staff to the Monkey God.
Outburst: I’ve seen more logical plots on pornos. This is just a thinly veiled attempt to string together intense martial arts scenes between Jet Li and Jackie Chan, with some hot fighting Asian girls thrown into the mix. It’s pretty awesome.
/CULT — If you love comedic kung-fu movies, you’ll find this movie a fun classic.
