THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Trailer

This is second time we have seen this trailer, let's be honest the teaser trailer left us feeling vague. However, the full trailer is a lot more interesting and we are curious. After we saw the Dark Knight, we did not have the same view of the film the rest of the world did. We thought it was 30 minutes too long, and it killed off too many characters which could’ve been better adversaries for Batman in future films. However, we will see The Dark Knight Rises when it hits theaters this Summer.

Mision Impossible: Ghost Protocol

The film opens...With us seeing an IMF Agent being murdered by an assassin and the mission to retrieve the Russian Nuclear Launch codes is on from there.  The next shot is us looking at a prison in Moscow and we see the Russian Correction Officers looking at monitors and the next shot is us looking over the shoulder of an inmate throwing something against the wall it’s later revealed to be Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and pretty much from there it’s non-stop action.  Director Brad Bird  (The Incredibles) did a fantastic job with handling the action and Ghost Protocol keeps you in the seats. Simon Pegg’s character (Benji) is the comic relief but not in a negative way and he proves it later in the film.  Jeremy Renner (Brandt)  and Paula Patton's (Jane) characters work well as part of a rouge IMF squad. Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is a very stylish spy film worth the full price of admission.

Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows

Just got back from a press screening of Sherlock Holmes- A Game of Shadows.  Ok let's start this off the right way.   This film was actually awesome it had a decent story and good action needless to say almost too much action.  We will not spoil the film, but there are some scenes that the film could have done with out.

Robert Downey Jr's performance as Holmes was spot on.  Downey's quick wit had you laughing at the right points.  Jude Law as Watson was well done and we have to give him credit where credit is due keeping up with Downey isn't easy, but he did it and did it well.  The additions of Noomi Rapace as Sim and Jared Harris as Moriarty made the story more interesting, we thought it would confuse us but it didn't so well done to the writers.

There is one part of the film we thought seriously wasn't necessary and we are still wondering why.  The bringing back of Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) although it was cool to see her part of the first film we thought it was totally unnecessary to have her in the second film honestly she wasn't in the film long (SPOILER ALERT!!!  After we said we wouldn't spoil the film for you....oops) and could been done with out her and her character really didn't move the story along honestly.

As to keeping with the Arthur Conan Doyle books as the producers and star said they were doing, they know that she was only in one book, A Scandal in Bohemia where she was referred only as the "Woman" and she was mention in four other books A Case of Identity, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, The Five Orange Pips, and His Last Bow.  So how she needed to be in this one is beyond us.

In conclusion we say this film is definitely a full price film to be enjoyed with an audience, there is enough action and story to keep you interested so check out  Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows.

The film is scheduled for wide release in US and the UK on December 16th
