Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)
Good time that beats up the original (in slow motion)
I want to start off by explaining why I only gave this movie a 7. I enjoyed it thoroughly and laughed out loud several times (much more than I did the first Sherlock Holmes movie). That being said, there were a few scenes that seem unnecessary are somewhat drawn out. These are the type when you hear the audience let out an audible yawn. I won't give them away, but you will see what I mean if you watch the movie. However, this does not make the movie un-enjoyable, just be aware that it is fairly long and there are parts when you will feel the length.
After saying all that, I must give it the credit it deserves as well. The movie is clever and entertaining. You will laugh at several parts if you have a sense of humor. I'm happy I watched it in the theater and I left feeling that the ending was appropriate and gave me the emotional payoff I craved. Robert Downey does an exceptional job and really carries the movie the majority of the time. Watch it, enjoy it, but be prepared for a long ride.
Cold Weather (2010)
Avoid, even if you live in Portland!
I was excited for this movie because I live in Portland, OR. While the scenery is beautiful, this is the only thing good about this movie. I didn't expect great acting because of the low budget, but I was hoping for something of a coherent story. I didn't receive this. The only tension and excitement I felt while watching this came three minutes before the movie ended, and went nowhere. It is almost as if the writer had the script half finished and got bored of writing, so he just went with what he had. None of the characters or reactions are believable.
This is probably the worst movie I have seen all year, and I watch a lot of movies.
