Just watched this movie Sherlock Holmes with an updated story and with a big Hollywood actors cast in the roles. I was expecting less but got more. It was a very entertaining movie and made me laugh a few times. Definitely worth watching so check it out.
Netflix Summary:
Robert Downey Jr., in a Golden Globe-winning role, stars as the legendary London sleuth Sherlock Holmes, joined by Jude Law as Dr. Watson, in this Guy Ritchie-helmed reinvention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective series. Based on a comic book by producer Lionel Wigram, the story follows Holmes and Watson as they face off against the villainous Blackwood (Mark Strong). Rachel McAdams co-stars as sharp beauty Irene Adler.
I love watching movies. For the last 20 years, Both my wife and I have watched on average if not more than 365 movies a year. I have decided to keep a journal of all my movie experiences. Enjoy!

Saint Ives aka All for Love
This is a period piece made in 1998 but even though it is old it made me laugh. The movie was good but the humor injected in it makes me recommend it even more. Watch it and enjoy.
Netflix Summary:
During the Napoleonic Wars, the British capture French officer Viscount Jacques St. Ives (Jean-Marc Barr) and send him to Scotland as a prisoner. He falls in love with local beauty Flora (Anna Friel), who's also being courted by the prison warden, Major Chevening (Richard E. Grant). While St. Ives teaches the major a few things about women, Flora arranges his escape and reunites him with his long-lost grandfather in this light-hearted romp.

The Four Feathers
This was another period piece that I thought was very insightful. I liked the view of the British Empire from a person who didn't approve of what they were doing. The main character had to prove he was no longer a coward because of his friends and fiance made him feel bad. I thought it was a silly decision but important to have for a storyline.

Netflix Summary:
In 1898 Sudan, Harry Faversham (Heath Ledger), a British officer, resigns his post right before a battle against rebels (the battle of Omdurman), prompting his fiancée (Kate Hudson) and three friends to give him four white feathers as a symbol of what they perceive to be cowardice. Little do they know he's going undercover and may soon have the chance to redeem himself in their eyes. This classic adventure is based on the novel by A.E.W. Mason.
