Summary:Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, and Jude Law returns as his formidable colleague, Dr. Watson, in “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.”
Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room… until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large—Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)—and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.
When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder—a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.
Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen’s club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) are toasting Dr. Watson on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim (Noomi Rapace), a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince’s murder makes her the killer’s next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him.
The investigation becomes ever more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction—all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.

Quite simply another Disney Pixar classic, Â they are a studio with an impeccable record, even their poorer movies such as Bolt remain enjoyable. The premise of ‘Up’ is simple enough. Carl is a retired balloon salesman and I don’t want to spoil the story too much but he decides to go on one final adventure and he ends up meeting some memorable characters along the way.
The feel offers humour, emotion and all the classic enjoyable moments of other Pixar films, it looks incredible in HD with all the colour showing ever so vivid. You’ll recognise some of the voices such as the Construction Foreman (Ratzenberger) who is best known for his role as Hamm in the Toy Story movies.
Unlike previous Pixar movies, this one feels to be a much sadder film, it does of course all become much nicer by the end but it is the development of the characters that make this movie so enjoyable. The characters feel memorable, the plot is memorable and the recurring jokes are also memorable. For the get go this is a family film that doesn’t fail to disappoint.
Whilst you may not feel this to be the likes of Toy Story or Finding Nemo, it still resides highly in the list of the top Pixar films, it’ll satisfy the kids and the adults and you can tell that Pixar have taken their time in polishing the animation and the script. It is quite simply a delightful film and it’s really quite difficult to criticise. Perhaps some people would like a little more depth to the plot but it is after all a Pixar film and aimed at families.
Up was a surprise winner at last years Oscars and it picked up 2 awards and was nominated for the best motion picture, there are reasons for these accolades, you simply won’t be disappointed with this film and as I mentioned at the beginning with Disney Pixar you always get a standard and that standard is raised here.
Movie: The Last Airbender
Director: M. Night Shyamalan Genre: Fantasy, action, adventure
Starring: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel Year: 2010 Origin: USA
Summary: The visual component on which this film mostly relies is let down by the bland acting and horrible script. Tread cautiously when contemplating viewing this film.
A live action film based on the hit animation series, the film follows Aang (Ringer), the element bender with the power to control all four elements; air, water, fire and earth. Aang and his company of friends partake in a journey of knowledge whilst the evil firebenders are in hot pursuit.
Unfortunately this film is about as mundane as a wet towel. The main character Aang is portrayed by one of the worst child actors ever conceived. This is ‘complimented’ with companions who are also horrid on screen – pretty much everyone in this film can’t act. The casting is absolutely dreadful.
The only decent thing in this film is the score, by James Newton Howard (The Dark Knight, Michael Clayton, Blood Diamond). Epic at times, it is a refreshing oasis while having to sit through the film. The graphics and audio are quite decent but the visual component of this piece is dragged down by the insipid script.
