Just watched: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Not quite as good as the first but still it was an average fun flick. It dragged a bit at first and felt like it was going nowhere but it quickly picked right back up. I’m a big fan of how Guy Ritchie films/edits his fight/action sequences. Some pretty damn good eye candy throughout the film in regards to special effects. RDJ does not fail yet again. Him and Jude Law are perfect foils. The ending was probably the best part of the film. Not going to win any awards but if you liked the first a decent amount this is worth watching.

Game 6
A tremendous hidden gem. This film caught my attention several years ago when I first read about it and I finally had the chance to view it. I will watch any film that has the Red Sox involved someway or another. Although I was not alive at the time of the Sox 1986 World Series loss to the Mets this captured all of the first account descriptions I’ve been told by my elders. The whole film takes place during the day of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Michael Keaton plays a fictitious prestigious playwright that has a diehard passion for the Boston Red Sox. He skips opening night of his latest play to watch Game 6. Robert Downey Jr. plays a highly regarded play critic who sends playwrights to their “grave” with his deadly reviews. Great performances by both Keaton and Downey Jr. This film captures the essence of hope in the human mind. You always hope for the best but plan for the worst. Everyone has to set themselves up for the idea that they can fail and this film portrays that. I recommend to anyone baseball fan or not.
