The first role that I sat up and took notice of was his portrayal of egotistical, rich playboy, Tony Stark in Iron Man... and now his performance in Sherlock Holmes was remarkable. This re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes was great fun from start to end and the characters were as flawed as they were brilliant. Both Sherlock and Watson were witty and intelligent with a splash of juvenile mischief. And the sets were simply amazing. If you haven't had a chance to see this film yet, I would highly recommend the DVD. I give this film a solid 8-10. [ 1 Comment(s) - Login or Signup to Leave Comments ] Date My Avatar? Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2010-01-01 18:01:12   Updated: 2010-01-01 18:01:46 Ok, I was hugely skeptical when I went to see the new Avatar movie. The trailer made it look like a poor attempt to ride off the coattails of the Avatar: Air Bender show. But that perception couldn't have been farther from the mark. Not only did the world of Pandora wind up being a feast for your senses, but the story was actually well developed. Even though computer animation still isn't quite up to the task of creating a 100% realistic character, it was close enough and the characters were very likable... and I must admit Neytiri was hot! Though the movie is almost three hours long, you will come out of the theater satisfied and full of wonder. This is a must see for any scifi/fantasy fan!

Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2009-10-20 20:24:23   Updated: 2009-10-22 14:39:28 Rolling back the time machine to the 1970's there was a show starring Patric Duffy that had me glued to the television every week, the Man From Atlantis. He was a mysterious man with gills and webbed hands and feet who had no memory who was found on a beach. He solves mysteries as he hunts for the answers as to who he is. He has the ability to breath water and swim at an incredible rate. He possessed great strength in the water and got weaker the longer he was dry. Even though the show doesn't hold up too well to today's standards, it was an iconic show of the time. So why do I bring this show up over 30 years after it's inception? Warner Brothers has released the pilot episode on DVD as an exclusive on their Archive Collection website. Woohoo!! So if you will excuse me, my copy just got delivered today and I'm going to run off to watch it now! If you want to see a show that was a sign of the times, order yours today.
