Watched Mission: Impossible II.

What garbage. Though I admit some of it looked kind of cool at times.

Scrooge (1970)

The "one with Albert Finney." This is a musical version of A Christmas Carol - and is another fine adaptation! It has a winning performance from Finney (he's heart-meltingly adorable when he has his change of heart) and a few very good songs. Alec Guinness plays Jacob Marley, and I have to admit that it took a while for me to get into his rather camp portrayal of what I always thought should be the most serious character in the story, but this version is full of comedy and whimsical digressions not in the source material and it pretty much all works.

The Nightmare Before Christmas totally ripped-off the font for the credits in this film.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

B- rating overall.

I loved the movie, was indeed fun. Filled with action and comedy. However, my major critiques are:

1. The major problem with this movie is how it lacks any psychology. It does indeed have it, but if fails at keeping it prevalent. The sense of mystery was pushed back by the action and comedy. This disappointed me greatly.

2. Slow motion excerpts are starting to really piss me off!! The first movie kept this to a minimum and, as memory serves, didn't "overdue" it.

3. I hate to say this, but I think Hans Zimmer rushed on this one. In my opinion, it seems that all he did was mesh up the score of the first film along with both the Batman Begins and the Pirates of the Carribean scores. Shoot me for saying such a thing, but that's what I heard.

Buckaroo Banzai

I love everything about this movie, except I don't love the movie itself lol. I LIKE the movie, love the elements of the movie, but the narrative story is just missing something to me. Blasphemy I know. I'll check this movie out again someday when I'm in the right mind set to enjoy it. Seriously, why don't I love this movie!?! It seems like it's tailor made for me!
