The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984)
The best adaptation of Holmes
This 40 minute gem is currently being rerun on a Saturday afternoon on BB2 in England. Jeremy Brett makes a fantastic Holmes. Always slightly on edge with the right accent & demeanour, he really makes this programme the perfect example to how Holmes should be played. David Burke also plays a perfect Watson without appearing the slightest bit "bumbly" like in the rest of the adaptations. A definate 10/10
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Good but not fantastic
I'm not going to spoil this for anyone with details of what the film contains, but I will say that this isn't Pulp Fiction or even Jackie Brown. It will appeal to Kung Fu B-Movie fans & anyone thats been stuck in the Arctic for the last 10 years & hasn't seen his last 3. I must say that the animation sequence is brilliant. To inject such graphics in the middle of a film that was already juddering was a bold move. But just the sheer quality of it makes Quentin come out smelling of roses. It's a good film Mr T (thats Tarantino, NOT BA Baracus) but there's something just not right about it.
Dick Tracy (1990)
What a load of Dick......
This has to be one of the worst films of the 1990s. When my friends & I were watching this film (being the target audience it was aimed at) we just sat & watched the first half an hour with our jaws touching the floor at how bad it really was. The rest of the time, everyone else in the theatre just started talking to each other, leaving or generally crying into their popcorn that they actually paid money they had earnt working to watch this feeble excuse for a film. It must have looked like a great idea on paper, but on film it looks like no-one in the film has a clue what is going on. Crap acting, crap costumes. I can't get across how embarrasing this is to watch. Save yourself an hour & a bit of your life.........
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
A Comedy Classis
This film is one of the funniest films of the last 30 years & my particular favourite. It's blend of stupidness, one liners & sick humour make it an all round comedy classic. In my top 10 of all time just for Jim Carreys face!!
