It’s apparent that Guy Ritchie created a wildly, raucous movie about Sherlock Holmes. The mix of suspense, laughter and craziness makes this movie a gem for the holiday season. Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr. play brilliantly off each other — a true kinship has formed.

Sam Worthington is looking good in a collection of posters. First Showing has a whole collection of them and they are worth a look. Some sites have had to take them off their site because Warner Bros. made a strong request to do so.
Apparently, they are not the official posters, but creative mock-ups for decision makers, I suspect.
I don’t know how long these will be available to see, but check them out while you can. Does any one know when the movie opens in the theaters?
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is available on Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. For the first time ever, fans can experience the uncut and uncensored story of humanity’s futuristic fight for survival through the eyes of their deadly adversaries, the Cylons.
Watching some of the scenes in The Plan are only appropriate for an R-rating. If you are a Battlestar Galactica fan, you’ll love this movie because all the familiar characters are in the story.
This never-before-seen perspective of the Cylon plan reunites the series’ original television cast, including Emmy Award winner Edward James Olmos (Stand and Deliver), Dean Stockwell (JAG), Tricia Helfer (Burn Notice), Grace Park (The Cleaner) and Callum Keith Rennie (Californication).

I’ve got to give a hand to Disney for making the first Prince of Persia trailer very compelling while letting us in on the story. Usually, first trailers try to tease us, so we are asking for more information about the story and that can be not so fun.
Disney’s first trailer of Prince of Persia tells us what the story is about and we get a flavor of the tongue and cheek between the prince and the princess, although I am not quite sure what Ben Kingsley’s role is, accept he is the bad guy. Is he also interested in the princess or does he just want the dagger?

My daughter and her four friends watched Aliens in the Attic DVD screener today as a Halloween treat. With popcorn and Halloween candy they loved it all. Even the bloopers were awesome.
The movie takes place during summer vacation, but the Pearson family kids are stuck at a boring lake house with their nerdy parents. That is until feisty, little, green aliens crash-land on the roof, with plans to conquer the house AND Earth! Using only their wits, courage and video game-playing skills, the youngsters must band together to defeat the aliens and save the world — but the toughest part might be keeping the whole thing a secret from their parents!
The scene most talked about was when the adults were being controlled by the kids via remote controls. The kids had the two adults fighting each other with the kids flipping them, getting the parents to do anything they wanted them to do.
The cast includes Doris Roberts (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), Andy Richter (“The Conan O’Brien Show”), Kevin Nealon (“Weeds”), Tim Meadows (Mean Girls) and Gillian Vigman (The Hangover), as well as rising young star Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical).
After my daughter’s friends left, she asked if she could watch the movie, again, and did with just as much enjoyment.
