Two Must - Sees

Sherlock Holmes - saw it twice in Ancaster on a big big screen and loved it both times. Robert Downey Jr play a Holmes you could look at forever and there is enough action in the movie to capture the male audience as well. One of the best movies I have seen and I am glad I saw it on a big screen.


Finally went to see Avatar. Of course I was in Whitehorse at the time. Although the movie has been showing for 5 weeks here, the line up was lengthy and by the time we arrived in the theatre, only 2nd row seats were available. One has to almost lie down to watch a movie from that point of view. As well, the theatres here (both of them) have not been up-dated, so the screens are small (a blessing for those of us watching from almost under the screen) and they are scratched, so when a light coloured scene comes on, small scratches on the screen show through. But, having said that, and although the movie is 3 hours in length (ohhh my aching butt) is was thoroughly enjoyable. The special effects were superb and make the movie very worth seeing. My only complaint (other than those listed above) was the war scene was too long - great for the males in the audience, a bit long for the females. Another must-see movie (esp if you are in a big city with a real movie theatre).
