Uneven but fun

Expect lots of explosions, murder, mayhem, and mumbling. Americans find English accents to be difficult to wade thru when spoken cleanly, but quickly spoken and mumbled speech takes away from what was a witty, fun action adventure.
Take the legendary literary character of Holmes, add in Batman and a bit of Tom & Jerry, and you've got this movie.
It's perfectly OK to bring kids (10 & up) to. There's no drastic violence, no nudity stuff, and the fights are well staged.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Disney is back.

Hand drawn character animation didn't die with The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, or The Little Mermaid. It was just asleep - waiting for this movie to join them.
The folks responsible for all Pixar's success run Disney's animation shop now, and it shows. This movie is right up there with the best that Walt's folks have ever done.
Music is by Randy Newman, it's truly a 'G' rated classic, and it's a big hug to the city & people of New Orleans. If you've been there, you'll recognise the Corn House, Jackson Square, or many of the other places that make NOLA special.
Bring about 5 tissues - there's a 'Bambi' moment or two.
This is a MUST see, a MUST buy, and I'm 49 folks.
The magic is back.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ninja - Caligula

I'm 49. I've seen thousands of movies. I enjoy Martial Arts films (especially those from the golden age of the Shaw Brothers).
But in the first 2 minutes of this thing, you see the most horrible, gratuitous, CGI effects that I've EVER seen. This movie should have been NC-17. DO NOT take kids to this. The R rating is being kind.
After word gets out about how bad this was - this will be the new Caligula (which was the last movie I walked out of - 30 years ago)
No, I do not recommend this movie.
