Sigh. The holidays are now over and it is back to the real world and work and blah. The next holiday to look forward to is Martin Luther King Day. Lame sauce.
This holiday proved to be a big movie holiday. A million movies came out on Christmas day and don’t you doubt that I saw a few of them. The first was Nine. We saw it at the Arclight because there is no other place movies should be viewed. It was pretty good. It was done by the same people who did Chicago the movie. That much was very obvious. They pretty much did the same monologue type deals. Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas was AMAZING. Why the hell is she doing pop music? Her song was the best one of the movie. She has the most amazing voice ever. Someone told me she was classically trained and after that news I am even more stumped as to why she isn’t on Broadway. She seriously NEEDS to be on Broadway.
The cast was pretty stacked. There was Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Daniel Day-Lewis who was pretty amazing as the lead character, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, etc. Everyone is a damn singer too. They all had a song and they can all sing. It’s funny because Nicole Kidman kind of started the musical movie movement with Moulin Rouge and she seemed to have a really good voice, but when she was paired with the singing voices in this movie, she wasn’t so great. Her song was kind of blah. Even Kate Hudson had a pretty good song. Who knew she could sing? Anyone could have played Nicole Kidman’s part to be honest. She was kind of whatever to me. Either way, this movie is one to see if you are a musical theatre fan. It’s entertaining and who doesn’t love a good musical.
The second movie was Sherlock Holmes. Holy crap was this movie amazing. It was like watching a funny episode of Law and Order wrapped in with an episode of Bones. Of course, we all know Sherlock Holmes is a crime solver and this movie doesn’t disappoint. Not only is the movie amazing, but Robert Downey Jr is incredible. He is so witty and on the ball. He plays Sherlock as the Jack Sparrow of crime fighting. Funny and just ridiculous. I want to see this movie a million more times. Jude Law is pretty good as well.
The one sad thing for me was Rachel McAdams. I love her, but she didn’t seem to fit in this movie. Her skin was very pale and clean and she spoke with an American accent and it was just odd. Here she is with these dirty drunk guys and she’s super clean and American. It was just a weird fit. Again, that makes me sad because I love her. Either way, this movie is seriously a must see. It is funny and just very well written.
