| | Posted: | | | | I would have suggested Saw VI, because it was after a always worser getting series a part that was a bitter better and viewable.... ...but then I remembered.  So my vote for this weekend also goes to Black Hawk Down.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Some reason... I am the same with war movies as I am westerns... I have to be really in the mood for one to enjoy it. That is why you haven't seen me watch many... and I have so many in the above list because my mother loved them... and I have her collection now. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Sherlock Holmes Year: 2009 Director: Rating: PG-13 Length: 128 Min. Video: Widescreen :1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Robert Downey, Jr. [Robert Downey Jr.] Jude Law Rachel McAdams Mark Strong Eddie Marsan Robert Maillet Plot:The hangman did his job. Dr. Watson declared the condemned man dead...and yet Lord Blackwood has emerged from the tomb to assert his deadly will over 1890 London. Is he in league with the forces of hell itself? Is the whole Empire in peril? It's a mystery macabre – and only Sherlock Holmes can master it. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law put memorable imprints on Holmes and Watson in this bold new reimagining that makes the legendary sleuth a daring man of action as well as a peerless man of intellect. Baffling clues, astonishing Holmesian deductions, nimble repartee, catch-your-breath scenes on one slam thing after another – director Guy Ritchie helms the excitement reintroducing the great detective to the world. Meet the new Sherlock Holmes ! Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: When I first saw the trailer for this movie I was nothing more then disappointed. So much so that I didn't even have an urge to see the movie. The trailer made it look like they changed Sherlock Holmes into a pure action character. Thankfully that was not the case in the movie. They did a great job of balancing the action and the classic deductive reasoning of the classic Sherlock Holmes. I am so glad that this movie was given to me... as I don't think I would have bothered buying it... and I have to admit that I loved every minute of it! Now here is where I expect to get flamed... I think they could have done a better job at casting Sherlock Holmes. To me Robert Downey, Jr. was only OK... passable in the role. Robert Downey, Jr. has always been hit or miss in my opinion... as I disliked him in just as many roles (if not more) then I actually liked him in. And while he did a fine job in the role... something just didn't seem quite right for some reason. Unlike his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man which I felt he was outstanding in. I loved the rest of the cast in their roles... but it just seemed like something was off on the main character of the movie. But that didn't take much away from my enjoyment of the movie... as I said... I still loved every minute of it. My Rating: 4.5/5 | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm glad you enjoyed Sherlock Holmes. After watching 26 Holmes films and 2 full series, it's one of my very favorites.  I think a lot more of Downey than you do - after Holmes & Iron Man I've been picking up just about anything he's in. I've become a big Downey fan. But I'm not going to flame you - everybody's entitled to think differently about actors.  | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Born to Be Sold Year: 1981 Director: Burt Brinckerhoff Rating: NR Length: 97 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: N/A Stars:Lynda Carter Harold Gould Philip Sterling Dean Stockwell Sharon Farrell Lloyd Haynes Plot:Lynda Carter is Kate Carlin, a caring social worker suddenly drawn into a horrid reality of underworld mayhem. Babies are bought from troubled teenagers and then are placed into the hands of unstable parents for a fee. As Kate investigates the businessman believed to be responsible, the band of villains working for him puts her life in danger. Threatened and manipulated, she jeopardizes her job desperately trying to crack the operation wide open. Extras:N/A My Thoughts: This movie is out of a boxset of old TV Movies that was recently given to me. A release called Life, Love and Romance. The first thing I noticed is that they didn't put too much time and effort into cleaning up the prints. I mean it wasn't terrible... but it was like watching a second generation VHS tape. The movie itself was pretty good. I definitely enjoyed it. And it was good to see Lynda Carter in another role. Though I must admit whenever I saw her character in trouble I half-heartedly expecting her to do her spin and turn into Wonder Woman. The teen girl in this... the girl trying not to give up her baby... she looked familiar. The part is played by Donna Wilkes. Not a name that is very familiar to me. But Checking DVD Profiler I realized why she looked familiar to me. She was in an episode of The Incredible Hulk that I recently watched. My Rating: 3.5/5 | | | | Pete |

(29/1100 movies with Genre war in my collection and there are many I would say that are not a typical war movie) But Black Hawk Down is one of my favorites. So if you're in mood give it a chance. |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Forces of Nature Year: 1999 Director: Bronwen Hughes Rating: PG-13 Length: 106 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English Stars:Sandra Bullock Ben Affleck Maura Tierney Steve Zahn Blythe Danner Ronny Cox Plot:It's only two days before his wedding when Ben's (Ben Affleck) plane skids out of control, leaving him stranded in New York with no way home to his nervous fiancee in Savannah. Against his better judgment, the reliable groom-to-be hitches a ride with free-spirited traveler Sarah (Sandra Bullock)-setting off the year's most riotous road trip. At first, these two opposites attract nothing but trouble in a sidesplitting series of comic mishaps and unnatural disasters. But an irresistible attraction and the forces of nature threaten to detour them forever in this sexy, whirlwind adventure Jeffrey Lyons (WNBC-TV) declared, "a fun, hip ride"- one you'll never forget. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Production Notes My Thoughts: I went into this one expecting much of nothing... as I have heard this is one of Sandra Bullock's worst movies. I am actually sitting here kind of surprised by that. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I wonder if some people don't care for it as much because it didn't end the way you would suspect in a romantic comedy. I personally liked that about it. Granted I liked Sandra Bullock's character the best... and I would have probably made the opposite decision... but I do like that it didn't go with the obvious ending. Not many romantic comedies do that. This one is not a laugh out loud funny movie... but it is definitely entertaining and lighthearted. Though going by the people I talked to at least... I am in the minority thinking so. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: DTS: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, French: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English, Spanish Stars:Sandra Bullock Jason Patric Willem Dafoe Temuera Morrison Brian McCardie Christine Firkins Plot:Hold onto your life-jacket as the rip-roaring sequel to Speed hits the high seas. Sandra Bullock reprises her star-making role as Annie Porter, a young woman expecting to enjoy a Caribbean vacation with her boyfriend (Jason Patric) on the world's most luxurious cruise liner. But their trip to paradise turns deadly when a lunatic computer genius (Willem Dafoe) takes over the boat and sets it on a course for destruction. An explosive voyage helmed by daredevil director Jan De Bont (Speed, Twister), Speed 2: Cruise Control rides the wild waves at maximum velocity. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Closed Captioned THX My Thoughts: While a decent movie... it is a bit of a letdown compared to part one. It is just missing that certain something the first one had. I do not care for the new leading man in this movie. Though Sandra Bullock is as lovely as always. And I definitely had to laugh at her taking the driving test at the beginning of the movie. It was a nice continuation from part one. Over all I am glad I have it in my collection... but I see myself watching part 1 much more then this one. My Rating: 3/5 | | | | Pete |
