What Happen To Happen To Fakku

Guy Ritchie - Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes (Robert DowneyJr . ), a British researcher, and his friend Dr. Watson (Jude Law ) spent months following a clever murderer. Following the tracks get off the next death, breaking the sacrificial ceremony orchestrated by Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong ).
Four months later, Watson is a physician assistant in the execution of Blackwood. Despite the noble certify death, Lord Blackwood seems to return to life days after his execution.



Although I love Guy Ritchie take long to see the film received poor reviews at the time. That goes for me trust the foreign criticism. The fact is that I got my hands and I need ten minutes to convince me that this is not a bad movie. I stopped and waited for Athos to view it together.
course the highlight is the image and direction. Guy Ritchie on one of his best work. The sequences are linked in a masterly way and make this film a show that deserves to be seen.

The script gives a good history of research, adorned with superstitions, fighting, romance and small comedic moments. The worst of the script: the plot of the girl. Stating that the actress does a good job and that his plot serves to introduce a second film and Moriarty but no, I did not like anything.

Brilliant:
- Watson's girlfriend when he reproaches his deductions seem magic ^ ^ we've all thought at some point.
- Sherlock fighting in a boxing ring.
- How to link the findings of Holmes. They could not do more original.
"All the taunts that he dedicated to Inspector Lestrade.

With character designs have played dismissal. I think the first time we saw the sign, we all thought it was Sherlock Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr., of Watson. Luckily, both actors more than fulfilled its role.

Actors:
had many doubts with Jude Law. I never struck any of his papers and it was not clear if they would do well. But it's great. It's the best performance I've seen. Wonderful.
Robert Downey Jr. He does well, very well. No answer to the description of Holmes, but despite that is credible.
Mark Strong is a worthy bad, very bad. I love that touch between disgust, indifference and contempt that has continuity.
The unknown Kelly Reilly perfectly fulfills the role of Watson's fiancée. Is a character I'm sure that will give much of himself in the second half.
acknowledge that Rachel McAdams does well, despite how much I liked his character.

The sets are excellent. We all you need to set in London during the period. Slaughterhouses, shipyards, factories, prisons, courts, alleys ... all perfectly adapted.

The wardrobe is also a point in his favor. Both men and women. Emphasize its use in Lord Blackwood. His scenes with the sacrificial layer is impressive.

I recommend the soundtrack. Guy Ritchie has always taken great care on this point and Sherlock Holmes is no exception. In this case is provided by Hans Zimmer . Very wise of the prominence given to the violins, as it is the instrument he plays Sherlock.
The main theme



Good special effects, use them when needed, without letting them take ownership of the plot. Stand in: the explosion in the slaughterhouse. The scene is beautiful and the accompanying music.

Curiosities:
- Watson's role was offered to Colin Farrell.
- The sets Holmes's house was used by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Awards:
- Golden Globe Robert Downey Jr. for Best Actor.

In short: a 9. It's a great film that has been very unfairly treated.

the film as an adaptation of the novels:
I really wanted to do this review but I wanted to wait to read me a book of Conan Doyle. Specifically, my choice was "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."
After reading it, I must say that the film seems a poor fit at all. For starters, the drug abuse Holmes is so evident in the film as it is in the books. Plus. Sherlock boxing and knows how to fight, another plus. The form of expression, is Holmes to deduce solutions to the full. Topics have fled outside the books on Holmes costume, plus.
is true that the choice of Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock leave behind other things, like the dreamy describing continuously. No, the actor does not have that air. In addition, often stress the thinness of Holmes, beset by years, and is something that is also lost.
criticism in this regard have been greatly exaggerated.

Alberto Vazquez Figueroa - Cienfuegos III: Azabache

I proceed to write the review of the third installment of the series Cienfuegos to an end the fourth. Yes, gentlemen, I spend so much time getting to and from class, the books of 250 pages, I take two days. It is what it is. Good thing the fate weekends Laura, and the 360 \u200b\u200bfilm, because I think if no ... no win for books.



This review contains spoilers of the two previous books (which I clarify because I do not remember what appeared to walk in each).


The goatherd red drifted when it was discovered by a Portuguese ship, captained by a nasty bastard and little guy with a "huge testicle size a coconut ", which pays his anger with his frightened crew. There, a black-Ulué azav Dahomeyan call-Che-Ganvié, which usually called Azabache, puts you in position and gives a series of advice. And of bells and whistles, after throw off the yoke of such a grotesque master, Black Canary and explore together the mainland of South America.

As in previous installments, Beauty focuses on the path of various peoples and awareness of different traditions and approaches, combining a charm what is known historically as a set of assumptions of the author. But where the book is changing and growing, is in the proportion who stars in the goatherd. Ingrid chapters are more and more abundant. Its chapters are, in general, the epic adventure of Cienfuegos as is evident, and focus more on the sentimental novel; party in fact was never forgotten. In fact, I never stop wondering if it's a love story with adventure, a romance or love. And this love is depicted in a so passionate, so consumed, so flaming that I personally do not know to what extent the author intended it to be the center of the work or the eternal backdrop.

"A New World, old vices. And even worse "

I must admit that the first I read these books it was very clear: Ingrid was filling. What mattered, and what was cool was to witness the adventures and misadventures of the goatherd in the wilderness and unknown, and even in the chapters of Ingrid, chicha was in sharp tongue formidable swordsman Alonso de Ojeda, now ... I do not know what to say. Actually, love is described as exaggerated a little bit bored me, but Ingrid explains his thoughts so delicate, so ... princesil , this time I can not help reading it with some grace.

What I want to emphasize is that it lowers the pace a bit ... and I feel great, to my utter surprise. There are more detailed descriptions, there is some insight into important secondary characters and makes us share their aspirations and ideas your secrets and worries. It falls as rain in summer, because although I believe that the frenzied pace is a great asset, there comes a time when every reader wants to know the characters they examined from its privileged position. In these three books we've found a couple of things de Ojeda, a half dozen of Juan de la Cosa and perhaps a dozen Luis de Torres, Figueroa details for us only the goatherd and Ingrid, but now is starting to show an effort to color the world, by giving some depth to the most important secondary characters. The most notable case is, of course, Beauty, who in this book know it as much or more depth than any other character introduced so far, but also delves a bit into the past of old acquaintances, such as cripple or terrible Bonifacio Luna Lion.


Note: 9. Jet seems to me a book practically flawless, but unfortunately, the simple and exaggeration of one of the main themes of the book, the eternal and unwavering love that binds them together for 7 long years that have never seen me from morally give it a 10 that would give otherwise.


Other novels in this series and other reviews of the author (in this case fully agree):
Cienfuegos.
Cienfuegos II: Caribbean.
