That's just me though.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819788859577010155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515472762446988919.post-11361094464352193972010-01-18T08:19:30.337-08:002010-01-18T08:19:30.337-08:00Movie adaptations are never as a good as the book....Movie adaptations are never as a good as the book. <br /><br />I think "they" were trying to make Sherlock Holmes more appealing to teen/tweens or something. I love RD Jr. but I won't be going to see this.

At first I was excited about the film, until I saw the previews. Then I to paraphrase another person on another director and film, this is Sherlock Holmes interpretted by Guy Ritchie. I think I'll wait for the DVD or HBO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515472762446988919.post-12280511190708272962010-01-17T04:25:03.387-08:002010-01-17T04:25:03.387-08:00Great post!!

I caught the Keira Knightly version on TV one night, then I read the book and then I watched the A&E. Which I now own and watch once or twice a year because I love it so much. Hearts for Ehl and Firth.<br /><br />PS: if you like chips on your sandwich, try doritos on a bagel with cream cheese. Don't knock it until you taste the deliciousness. Oh it's good.

I still prefer the experience of a novel overall, but sometimes allowances have to be made to fit into the movie experience. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love experiencing the new version. I love The Time Traveler's Wife, but couldn't bring myself to see the movie after reading the reviews. I'm sincerely hoping they do The Lovely Bones justice.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093183636943756262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515472762446988919.post-91630824605381045542010-01-16T16:01:23.016-08:002010-01-16T16:01:23.016-08:00You and I seem to have the same taste in shows.

I am greatly looking forward to the time that my kids are old enough to stay out of my hair long enough for me to watch it again.<br /><br />The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes is my favourite adaptation of Holmes as well. I've seen every episode of that series at least twice. I was actually quite interested to see Robert Downey Jr's version of Holmes until I saw the preview. It looks like they are taking all the analytical sleuthing out of Holmes and replacing it with fist-fights and explosions. I'll still watch it. But I doubt it will surpass my love for Jeremy Brett's work.Marilyn (A Lot of Loves)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06657908406859803924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515472762446988919.post-19356348720421496452010-01-16T13:58:45.221-08:002010-01-16T13:58:45.221-08:00A friend told me the other day that she is a huge ...A friend told me the other day that she is a huge Holmes fan and really liked this movie. If I can recall what she said, the film opens with a lot of what's in the trailer, but then it gets down to business. And the Watson character has been restored to what he was originally, more of a womanizer and action guy. So I hope you find that you like it! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog today, by the way!Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515472762446988919.post-8686946270606566782010-01-16T11:11:43.571-08:002010-01-16T11:11:43.571-08:00Hope you love it!

Probably not healthy but soooo good.<br /><br />It's clear the Sherlock Holmes movie is nothing like the books or tv series, but I like the look of this edgier Sherlock. I plan to see it. <br /><br />I do get how you feel about films remaining true to books though. I'm going to see the Lovely Bones this weekend and I just wonder if I'll be happy with the results. I liked the book and don't want to be disappointed.<br /><br />And it's cool you are open to trying new things. Makes like fun. But sorry about the hair cut. That one does stink. I've been there.<br /><br />Best to ya,<br /><br />-VictoriaV.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18377460957527031910noreply@blogger.com
