"Hollywood, STFU." is a movie review blog.
They rate a movie based on how much left-wing bias it has.
They really liked the movie, "Sherlock Holmes".

Moriarty doesn’t care what the reviews say. Nor does Holmes.

Thanks for the link to the review site. I checked on how this guy liked “The Blind Side” and agree with his review. It was a surprisingly good movie. I will take a chance on Sherlock Holmes too.

Heh... I watched ‘Sherlock Holmes - Dressed to Kill’ starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce last night on TCM. I grew up watching the Basil Rathbone movies and have seen every one of his Sherlock Holmes movies a dozen times. To me there can never be another Sherlock Holmes. Watching anybody else try to portray Holmes is like watching Steve Martin portray Inspector Clouseau. Just can’t do it.

I saw it yesterday. Entertaining movie. We spent the rest of the day trying to figure out who we would have cast differently....

I liked it very much. Robert Downey is all charisma (as he usually is) and Jude Law is very good. Rachel McAdams is horribly miscast; she’s supposed to be this woman of mystery and intrigue but she comes off as a dewy ingénue. But it looks like the filmmakers realized this and largely edited her out of the movie.

Guy Ritchie is one of the best directors in the world as long as Madonna isn’t anywhere around.

I saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday. It was well done. Robert Downey Jr. was very good; Jude Law as John Watson was brilliant and stole the show.

Love the rating system ...

0 Hammer and Sickles: Reserved for the very rare occasions when Hollywood accidentally tells a straight story.
1 Hammer and Sickle: Annoying and condescending, but tolerable.
2 Hammer and Sickles: We get it, they hate us.
3 Hammer and Sickles: Bound for rotation on Castro's state network.
4 Hammer and Sickles: A film to bring a tear to Joseph Goebbel's eye.
5 Hammer and Sickles: Reserved for the blatant offerings of The Obama Administration Ministry of Truth.

My wife and I saw it yesterday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Just don’t go expecting to see a new version of the old Sherlock Holmes movies, go expecting to see a new Sherlock movie. A pleasantly unexpected surprise, was that it seemed to leave room for more.

My wife and I saw this film yesterday and really liked it. It was fun, energetic, had a great story and good twists and turns. The sets and costumes (my wife's passion) were wonderful and the interplay between Holmes and Watson was very quick and clever.

This film is much better than Avatar and is a delightful way to spend two and a half hours in the dark with your sweetheart.
