Disregard the New York Times' Snarky Review
PostedJanuary 4, 2011

Disregard the New York Times' snarky review and be sure to see this movie. Geoffrey Rush's and Colin Firth's portrayals of Lionel Logue and King George VI feel genuine and are genuinely moving. Among the tidbits that The King's Speech offers are a tantalizing preview of the modern British royal family and a terribly claustrophobic sense of what it meant to be King.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Steampunk Vision of London
PostedDecember 28, 2009

An inarguably entertaining movie and worth seeing just for the thoroughly steampunk vision of London. What I really loved in this movie was the way Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. expressed the relationship between Watson and Holmes. Whether you want to see it in a homoerotic context or whether you want to see it as simply the deep friendship of two men who know each other very well, their portrayals gave great depth to their characters. My summary: I didn't love this movie, but there was enough to it to make me glad I saw it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The wonderful cast was terrific together, but Simon Pegg is the best. He's an amazing and physically briliant actor. I laughed through the whole movie. It's a mostly predictable plot but it's warm and charming, and the laughs aren't predictable. Oh, and the little boy ... what a relief, he's a charmer but I never felt like I was going to gag over in-your-face moppetness and super-sacchariness! If you're going to spend money going out to see a movie, spend it on this one!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
