Movies: Sherlock Holmes & the Secret Weapon; Orgazmo

[amedia]

Finally watched the other movie on the Sherlock Holmes DVD that we found! I think I might have seen it before a long time ago, but I didn't remember most of it, so it might as well have been new. Basil Rathbone delightful; ridiculous but entertaining plot. Watson more bumbling than usual, very disappointing. Filmed in London during WWII, which lent an interesting atmosphere of bravado and uncertainty.

Also found and watched a movie we had rented, dubbed onto videotape, watched about half of, then lost track of ... an amusing parody of the porn industry by the guys who created South Park, called Orgazmo. The scenes with the hero (a Mormon missionary who stumbles into becoming a porn star) and his wholesome girlfriend were very reminiscent of the early scenes with the hero and his girl in Reefer Madness: The Musical.

Many years ago, I tried to watch your Holmes film but Watson was too bumbling for me.

Orgazmo sounds like a lark! I like the South Park guys.

I'm trying to watch Kurosawa's Ran with B. We've seen it before and liked it but this time we kept falling asleep. We must have been too tired that night.
