About 'blackwood sherlock holmes'|Sherlock Holmes 09: Those Halcyon Days [Part 3] [Blackwood/Coward]








Sherlock               Holmes               is               one               of               the               best               know               fictional               characters               in               both               literature               and               film.

Since               being               created               by               Sir               Arthur               Conan               Doyle,               Britain's               greatest               detective               has               appeared               in               more               films               than               any               other               character               except               Dracula.

However               when               there               are               that               many               movies               they               can't               all               be               good,               and               in               fact               many               are               downright               painful.

Thankfully               though               there               are               some               true               gems               that               are               worth               the               time               of               casual               and               hardcore               Holmes               fans               alike.

And               before               anybody               jumps               down               my               throat               for               not               including               Jeremy               Brett               from               the               PBS               series,               those               adventures               were               made               for               TV               and               I've               chosen               to               limit               this               list               to               theatrical               releases.

Brett               was               great               and               worth               checking               out               but               this               list               isn't               for               him.

It               should               be               noted               that               unlike               other               lists               I've               done               in               the               past               these               films               aren't               going               to               be               ranked.

Frankly               trying               to               declare               a               definitive               Sherlock               Holmes               film               is               impossible.

While               the               movies               I'm               going               to               talk               about               are               all               great               there               is               no               one               film               that               manages               to               get               everything               right.

Some               of               the               films               absolutely               nail               the               dynamic               of               Holmes               and               his               faithful               friend               Watson               but               present               a               lackluster               mystery.

Others               have               a               great               mystery               but               the               key               relation               between               the               two               friends               seems               slightly               off.

No               film               has               completely               nailed               the               balance               of               the               two               yet               but               all               of               the               ones               on               this               list               succeed               well               enough               to               warrant               a               look               by               fans               of               the               Britain's               most               brilliant               detective.
               Murder               by               Decree               (1979)               
               In               this               film               the               mystery               that               the               great               Sherlock               Holmes               (played               by               Christopher               Plummer)               and               the               ever               faithful               Dr.

Watson               (played               by               James               Mason)               must               try               to               unravel               is               not               taken               from               any               of               the               stories               by               Sir               Arthur               Conan               Doyle.

Nor               is               the               mystery               created               specifically               for               the               film.

Instead               fiction               collides               with               fact               as               Sherlock               Holmes               attempts               to               discover               the               identity               of               Jack               the               Ripper.

Brought               into               the               most               vicious               and               infamous               unsolved               case               in               the               history               of               England,               Holmes               faces               opposition               from               all               sides.

There               are               those               in               power               who               would               see               the               great               detective               off               the               case               and               those               who               hold               the               key               refuse               to               talk               to               him.

A               supposed               spiritual               medium               (played               by               Donald               Sutherland)               may               hold               the               key               to               the               whole               bloody               affair.

Can               Holmes               stop               Jack               the               Ripper               before               he               strikes               again?
               While               Christopher               Plummer               as               Holmes               is               no               slouch,               serious               credit               must               be               given               to               the               incomparable               James               Mason               for               what               may               be               the               best               performance               of               Watson               on               screen.

Mason               has               such               an               inherent               sense               of               gravitas               that               he               isn't               so               easily               brushed               off               as               so               many               Watsons               before               him.

He               also               gets               to               show               himself               as               far               more               resourceful               and               generally               helpful               to               Holmes               and               his               process               than               is               normal               for               the               character.

This               is               a               welcome               relief               from               the               lovable               bumbler               Watson               is               too               often               shown               to               be.

Meanwhile               Plummer               is               a               great               fit               for               the               role               of               Holmes               but               the               character               has               been               written               slightly               off.

To               be               frank,               Holmes               gets               emotionally               wrapped               up               in               the               case               to               a               degree               that               is               rather               out               of               character.

Holmes'               interest               in               his               cases               has               always               been               in               the               puzzles,               very               rarely               in               the               people.

So               for               him               to               care               so               much               on               a               personal               level               about               the               fate               Mary               Kelly               (who               he               briefly               meets               once)               just               feels               strange.

However               that's               an               issue               that               only               comes               up               towards               the               end               and               while               the               writing               of               the               character               is               somewhat               off               Plummer               still               delivers               in               the               performance.
               The               Great               Mouse               Detective               (1986)               
               There               may               be               people               who               think               that               this               entry               is               a               joke,               but               if               so               they've               never               taken               a               really               good               look               as               this               children's               version               of               the               famous               detective.

Based               on               the               Basil               of               Baker               Street               children's               book               series               this               Disney               produced               film               came               out               right               before               The               Little               Mermaid               kicked               off               the               Disney               animation               renaissance.

Due               to               it               coming               out               just               before               that               seminal               film               it               tends               to               be               unjustly               ignored               amongst               Disney               animated               films.

On               the               streets               of               London               a               young               mouse               named               Olivia               witnesses               her               father's               kidnapping.

Desperate               for               help               she               encounters               the               kind               Dr.

Dawson               and               the               two               solicit               the               help               of               the               famous               Basil               of               Baker               Street.

Basil               has               little               to               no               interest               in               the               case               until               he               realizes               it               is               connected               to               Professor               Rattigan,               a               criminal               mastermind               who               has               repeatedly               eluded               Basil's               grasp.

With               Dawson               and               Olivia               in               tow               Basil               begins               the               hunt               for               Rattigan               before               he               commits               the               most               dastardly               crime               he               as               ever               devised.
               While               not               a               straight               Sherlock               Holmes               tale               it               does               actually               tie               directly               into               Holmes'               world               in               a               rather               clever               way.

Basil               (named               after               Basil               Rathbone               who               portrayed               Holmes               in               many               films)               lives               in               the               walls               of               Holmes'               famous               21               Baker               Street               address.

In               fact               there               are               audio               snippets               of               Rathbone               as               Holmes               used               for               background               at               several               points,               and               while               it's               never               made               explicit               the               implication               is               that               Basil               is               taking               after               the               human               whose               home               he's               occupying.

Even               though               it's               a               cartoon               staring               mice,               in               some               ways               this               is               actually               a               truer               interpretation               of               Holmes               than               many               of               the               flesh               and               blood               films.

Basil               is               infinitely               intelligent               but               also               distinctly               lacking               intact               and               is               often               abrasive               (a               bold               choice               for               a               kid's               film.)               Thanks               to               the               freedom               of               animation               the               overall               tone               actually               manages               to               capture               the               more               swashbuckling               adventure               elements               that               were               often               left               by               the               wayside               in               other               film               adaptations.

As               great               as               Basil               and               Dawson               are               what               truly               puts               this               film               over               the               top               is               Vincent               Price               as               Professor               Rattigan.

The               legendary               actor               was               very               vocal               about               the               fact               that               this               was               his               favorite               role               to               play               in               his               entire               career,               and               that               joy               shines               through               every               line               that               he               gives.

Rattigan               is               truly               an               arch               villain,               reveling               in               his               own               wickedness               in               a               way               that               usually               would               be               too               goofy               to               make               a               truly               credible               villain.

However               Price               pulls               it               off               wonderfully,               creating               a               villain               who               manages               to               be               both               fun               to               watch               and               also               genuinely               intimidating               when               he               needs               to               be.

Between               a               fantastic               villain,               great               animation,               and               a               truly               spot               on               take               on               Holmes               even               adult               fans               owe               it               to               themselves               to               check               this               little               gem               out.
               Without               a               Clue               (1988)               
               Who               says               that               a               Sherlock               Holmes               movie               has               to               be               a               pompous               and               stuffy               affair?

This               comedy               proves               that               when               handled               properly               the               great               detective               is               ripe               for               laughs.

In               this               version               it               is               in               fact               Dr.

Watson               (played               by               Ben               Kingsley)               who               is               the               true               brains               of               the               pair.

Watson               created               the               character               of               Sherlock               Holmes               so               that               he               could               solve               crimes               incognito.

Having               created               the               phony               detective               he               hired               unemployed               actor               Reginald               Kincaid               (played               by               Michael               Caine)               to               complete               the               illusion.

By               the               time               the               film               opens               though               Watson               is               fed               up               not               only               with               the               fame               of               Holmes               but               with               the               drunken               Kincaid               who               plays               him.

Watson               tries               to               strike               out               on               his               own               but               thanks               to               public               perception               none               but               Sherlock               Holmes               will               do               and               the               pair               is               forced               to               reunite               to               thwart               the               latest               plot               of               Professor               Moriarty.
               There               have               been               a               few               comedic               takes               on               Sherlock               Holmes               over               the               years               and               most               have               failed               to               be               engaging.

The               key               to               this               is               that               it's               not               really               making               fun               of               Sherlock               Holmes               in               any               broad               sense,               rather               just               shifting               the               credit               for               the               detective's               brilliant               mind               to               Dr.

Watson.

The               notion               of               the               brilliant               detective               is               still               held               in               appropriately               high               esteem,               it               just               turns               out               that               brilliant               detective               isn't               who               everybody               thinks               it               is.

The               premise               still               could               have               very               easily               have               fallen               flat               if               it               were               not               for               the               perfect               casting               of               Michael               Caine               and               Ben               Kingsley.

In               many               ways               Caine               has               to               actually               play               two               characters               in               this               film.

He               has               to               play               unintelligent               actor               Reginald               Kincaid               and               then               play               Kincaid               playing               the               brilliant               Sherlock               Holmes,               and               he               does               all               of               this               wonderfully.

Caine               and               Kingsley               play               off               each               other               wonderfully.

Their               constant               bickering               is               infinitely               amusing               and               helps               make               this               a               nice               comic               change               of               pace               for               Holmes               fans.
               Sherlock               Holmes(2009)               
               The               streets               of               London               are               in               panic               when               the               murderous               Lord               Blackwood               seems               to               rise               from               the               dead               to               reap               more               terror.

As               the               man               who               captured               him               before               Sherlock               Holmes               (played               by               Robert               Downey               Jr.)               is               brought               in               on               the               case               once               more               with               Dr.

Watson               (played               by               Jude               Law)               in               tow.

What               they               uncover               is               layers               of               intrigue               and               danger               in               what               is               undoubtedly               the               most               action               packed               film               to               feature               the               famous               detective.

Director               Guy               Ritchie               (best               known               for               high               energy               British               gangster               movies               such               as               Lock               Stock               and               Two               Smoking               Barrels)               brings               a               whole               new               kind               of               energy               to               this               modern               take               on               the               classic               character.

Between               secret               societies,               black               magic,               murder               and               the               presence               of               the               mischievous               Irene               Adler               (played               by               Rachel               McAdams)               Holmes               and               Watson               may               have               finally               met               their               match.
               This               most               recent               take               on               the               adventure               of               Holmes               and               Watson               was               able               to               pull               in               the               more               rough               and               tumble               elements               of               the               character               and               books               which               had               been               virtually               ignored               by               previous               films.

Downey               embraces               the               less               flattering               elements               of               Holmes               and               still               makes               him               a               hero               to               root               for.

However               it's               his               chemistry               with               Law               that               really               puts               this               film               on               the               map.

While               Watson               was               so               often               shown               as               more               of               a               bumbling               foil               here               he               is               rightfully               a               man               of               great               intelligence               himself,               simply               not               quite               on               the               same               level               as               Holmes.

Buy               bringing               Watson               up               to               the               level               he               should               be               rather               than               dumbing               him               down               the               relationship               between               the               two               becomes               more               energetic               since               Watson               can               now               keep               up               with               his               friend.

In               other               films               viewers               can               be               left               wondering               why               Holmes               has               Watson               around,               in               this               film               there               is               no               question.

The               film               suffers               slightly               from               the               performance               of               Rachel               McAdams,               who               simply               can't               bring               a               performance               to               match               Downey               and               Law.

Thankfully               though               the               other               elements,               particularly               Downey               and               Law's               chemistry,               are               so               strong               that               this               is               still               and               adventure               well               worth               taking.
               The               Adventures               of               Sherlock               Holmes               (1939)               
               Professor               Moriarty               (played               by               George               Zucco)               has               slipped               through               the               fingers               of               justice               once               again               despite               the               best               efforts               of               Sherlock               Holmes               (played               for               the               second               of               fourteen               times               by               Basil               Rathbone.)               Even               though               he               has               yet               to               be               convicted               the               wicked               professor               tires               of               Holmes'               interference.

Moriarty               declares               to               Holmes               that               he               is               going               to               pull               off               the               most               stunning               crime               in               history               right               under               the               great               detective's               nose               and               in               doing               so               will               break               him.

Moriarty               then               sets               about               his               complex               plot               which               weaves               together               a               legacy               of               murder               for               a               wealthy               family,               a               haunting               flute               melody               and               a               renowned               emerald               en               route               to               London               Tower.

Can               Holmes,               with               Dr.

Watson               (played               by               Nigel               Bruce)               at               his               side,               possibly               unravel               this               wily               scheme               before               more               innocent               blood               is               spilled?
               Basil               Rathbone               is               considered               by               many               to               be               the               definitive               Holmes               and               his               performance               here               makes               that               difficult               to               argue               against.

He               nails               the               character's               eagerness               for               a               case               and               his               thrill               at               every               new               clue               and               tantalizing               twist.

Rathbone               is               a               bit               more               well               mannered               than               many               other               incarnation               of               Holmes               but               in               a               way               that               actually               makes               him               somewhat               more               devious.

This               version               of               Holmes               is               a               keen               manipulator,               using               his               manners               and               logic               to               control               the               activities               of               police               investigators               and               even               his               own               clients.

George               Zucco               is               especially               well               cast               as               Moriarty               and               the               bitter               yet               respectful               rivalry               between               the               two               characters               is               played               wonderfully.

While               the               character               of               Moriarty               would               re-appear               in               the               Rathbone/Bruce               series               of               Sherlock               Holmes               movies,               Zucco               never               played               him               again.

It's               truly               a               shame               because               few               other               actors               have               ever               nailed               the               mix               of               intellect               and               viciousness               like               Zucco               does               here.

If               there's               one               stumbling               point               in               this               excellent               adventure               it's               Nigel               Bruce               as               Watson.

While               he               has               a               fine               rapport               with               Rathbone               this               was               the               start               of               the               character               of               Watson               being               portrayed               as               a               bit               of               a               bumbler,               which               is               a               disservice               to               the               character               in               many               ways.

The               instances               of               buffoonery               are               well               plaid               here               but               it               would               in               later               films               they               would               become               far               more               gratuitous.

Overall               it               set               a               rather               regrettable               standard               that               went               unbroken               for               quite               some               time.
