My Review of the Farrelly Brothers Farce The Heartbreak Kid, Staring Ben Stiller, Malin Akerman and Michelle Monaghan is available at Amazon.com here.

To say this movie is a comedic farce is the understatement of the year. I presume the Farrelly’s sense of humor is almost as twisted as mine.

I should mention that in my review I neglected to give credit to the actors. There is not a single bad performance in the entire picture. There aren’t a lot of movies that can say that.

The picture made me laugh but also made me angry. Almost none of the people that you meet at the start turn out to be people worth a damn, their bad decisions make a lot of trouble for a lot of people, FUNNY Trouble but still trouble and it leads to bad results.

In a way that is one of the things that make this movie great, stupid decisions have bad results. That just isn’t shown enough these days.

This is a movie worth seeing or renting or whatever.

Trade: Amazon Review

My review of the movie Trade Staring Kevin Kline is available at Amazon.com here.

If you are getting the DVD I advise skipping as many of the previews as possible, it is a bunch of Michael Moore style documentaries that really puts you in the wrong mood for the film itself.

I think the movie wants to pretend it was a documentary when it was not but it was still wasn’t bad. There were a few good performances (Particularly Kline) and is about a topic that deserves much more attention.

My review of the Sherlock Holmes: The Scarlet Claw, the 8th in the series of 14 movies featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in the title roles is at Amazon.com here.

The entire series is great and worth review, I actually have no idea why I started with this one.

Because the DVD’s are kinda pricey you might want to get them via NetFlix as I have, but no matter how you slice it they are first rate, particularly this once which seems more dramatic than many others in the series. There are particular scenes that I considered pretty serious for 1944.

On a totally unrelated matter Big Finish is now doing a Sherlock Holmes audio series. The first one: Sherlock Holmes and the last act has just been released.

I have no plans of getting them myself but if you are a Holmes fan you might enjoy them.
