I watch SHERLOCK HOLMES the other night.  Utterly entertaining and also utter tosh!  Predictable plot (figured out the major twist before there was one).  Does not allow the audience to play detective along with Holmes.  Nor is there anything about the movie that distinguishes it as Sherlock Holmes.  It could have been any Victorian detective and his sidekick solving this mystery.  Rather like Jude Law's Watson more than Downey's Sherlock.  Sherlock is indulgent and self-absorbed, but not in the way Downey (or the script ) made him.  It also falls victim to what too many movies do these days...louder, bigger, and overwrought with CGI and special effects. I think drama is still about people.

Saw MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS.  Found it amusing and laughed a lot.  Enjoyed all the actors.  Story peters out a bit at the end.  Most amazing is the true stuff it's based on.

Best thing I've seen lately is a documentary about playwright John Osborne called JOHN OSBORNE AND THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP.  Absolutely mesmerizing!  The more I read by and about Osborne, the more I want to read.  A fascinating artist!



We finished SHERLOCK HOLMES last night.  Totally agree with your assessment.  It was better than many of the reviews had led us to believe, but it sure wasn't Arthur Conan Doyle.  Of course it looks like they set things up for a sequel with that little coda vis a vis Moriarty.

DR GINNY are you and DH RICHARD thinking about making the trek over for the Friday, April 16, performance of BRAINEX at Buck Creek Players?

I think that is when MR BK is planning to see the show.....

I can arrange the tickets on Sunday if you do.

Most recent I film I saw - PUBLIC ENEMIES which was okay, but historically incorrect in almost EVERY detail.

Nor did it pretend to be. I suspect Doyle is much too cerebral for today's mass-market movie-goers. We enjoyed it , and the Grandlads thought it was great. (And, yes, I was expecting to enjoy it less.)

I lovre the new bonus packs - we get to keep the Blu-ray in Rehoboth and the Grandlads can have the DVD for Maryland.

DR JRand, we were thinking more about the next Friday, April 23.  On the 16th, DR DakotaCelt and I were going meet up in Cincinnati when she's in town for a conference.  She and I should talk about the possibility of trekking to Indy together.  I'll get back to you...

How To Train Your Dragon

A fun outing with the Grandlads and a nice coming-of-age plot for the tweeners. The 3D animation is getting better and better.

It's the 100th episode of BONES tonight, and the show flashes back to Booth and Bones' first case together (not the case in the pilot which I had heretofore thought was their first case.) Can't wait to see this. Zach is back which should be lots of fun since he and Hodgins had such a amicable bromance.

In the pilot, isn't it rather clear that she and Booth have worked in the past? She gives him hell about his having her stopped at the airport. Of course, I've been watching Season One every day for the past week so I'm really good about the first year!

From Jose:

Quote
DR Jane - The Lindt/Lindor White Chocolate Mini Eggs are a seasonal item. I think they've only been around two or three years.  -And, again, only available during the Easter season.  If the Lindt store on 5th Avenue happens to have some left, would you like me to send you some? 

I think I'm fine thank you :)  Thanks for the link, I have only seen bags of the candy when traveling in Switzerland years ago. 

Quote
The Lindt/Lindor Mini Eggs are basically their Truffles (balls) in egg form/shape.  I like the Dark Chocolate and Double Milk ones.

I have the Lindor white chocolate Truffle & can get them here.  Now I don't have to be curious about the Easter eggs :)

Well, I tested the air a few minutes ago and it doesn't like me. Though the fever broke yesterday, I found that after five minutes of watering the plants and gathering some greens for a salad that I was dizzy. So, it's off to the doctor in the morning. I know it's all related to the heavy oak pollen, but, dang, it's weird. So, I guess I'll stay in and write as I can.
