"Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" London premiere

I watched the premiere of "Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" online yesterday and I enjoyed it! It was small and cozy; all actors and Guy Ritchie came, smiled and were interviewed by Edith Bowman.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law seem to become good friends. Robert was in a great mood, he danced a little (to entertain us or to get warmer). But I have one question for Jude Law. I'm just curious is there any tradition which makes actors stop shaving after they made a big film? Every time some actor finished filming, he starts appearing with a huge beard. Weird.

The weather was cold, men were wearing suits, scarves and coats, but Noomi Rapace, who played the main female part in this film, was in a strapless gown. I hope she didn't become an ice sculpture. She talked about how she was preparing for her Gypsy role, planning even to live in a camp, but she hadn't enough time for this. Noomi Rapace enjoyed working with such talented men and now she considers herself as "one of the boys."

Jared Harris doesn't look like a villain at all and seems to be a very cheerful person. But I hope his Professor Moriarty is persuasive.

Stephen Fry called Guy Ritchie "an extraordinary filmmaker." He portrayed Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's brother. Can't wait to see what his role in this story is.

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" (2011) - Funny clip

New clip from Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" makes me even more exited about its upcoming release.

I like how Jude Law says: "Oh, How I've Missed You Holmes!" Of course, Sherlock pretends he had plenty of things to do without his dearest companion, but we know he missed him too. And I missed them both.

There is one interesting scene, which lasts 1 or 2 seconds, where Dr. Watson didn't notice Holmes. Can you say where he is before you watch this clip? It shouldn't be difficult.

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Fry and Noomi Rapace.

Release dates - December 16 (UK, USA), December 22 (Germany), December 23 (Ukraine)



And I'm going to watch London premiere online this evening, are you too?

"Sherlock Holmes 2" (2011) - Second trailer

Brand new "A Game of Shadows" trailer has been revealed and it looks great. The Trio (aka Holmes, Watson and dangerously beautiful Ms. Adler) are in big trouble again. There are new villain, new secrets, new shootings and Sherlock Holmes has a new lipstick. Costumes, special effects and gothic decorations are incredible and created a dramatic atmosphere. And I'm glad that this film will be also full of witty jokes and sarcasm of the main characters.

Favourite line:
- What do you see?
- Everything. That is my curse.

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris (son of talented actor Richard Harris), Eddie Marsan, Stephen Fry and Noomi Rapace.
Directed by Guy Ritchie.

Release dates - December 16, 2011 (UK, USA), December 22, 2011 (Germany)

Trailer #2

"Sherlock Holmes" (2009) - Soundtrack

The music featured in Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" helped to create an atmosphere of mystery and comedy. Making this soundtrack Hans Zimmer used some unusual instruments - the cimbalom, the banjo and even one very detuned piano, which sounded like it has been tortured in some dusty pub for many years. And names of its tracks are as witty as movie itself, actually they're lines said by the main characters.

OST is available on Amazon, iTunes etc.

1."Discombobulate" 2:25



2."Is It Poison, Nanny?" 2:53
3."I Never Woke Up in Handcuffs Before" 1:44



4."My Mind Rebels at Stagnation" 4:31



5."Data, Data, Data" 2:15
6."He's Killed the Dog Again" 3:15
7."Marital Sabotage" 3:44
8."Not in Blood, But in Bond" 2:13
9."Ah, Putrefaction" 1:50
10."Panic, Shear Bloody Panic" 2:38
11."Psychological Recovery... 6 Months" 18:18
12."Catatonic" 6:46

"The Three Musketeers" (2011) - The Good and the Bad Guys

"Born to be heroes. Trained to be warriors. Destined to fight evil."

New images of "The Three Musketeers" has been revealed on its official website. The costumes look great, but I wonder how Milla Jovovich will fight in that dress. Everybody noticed that this movie is a bit similar to "Sherlock Holmes" and the soundtrack is just one more thing, which these stories have in common – it reminds me of the main theme of Guy Ritchie's movie. Is composer Paul Haslinger inspired by Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer? I think the studio was wise choosing a release date in October, because December will be the month of "Sherlock Holmes" sequel and it means no box office fight for them.

"Sherlock Holmes" (2009) - Memorable Quotes

Witty and almost not related to the classic novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle, "Sherlock Holmes" is a good action movie with a bit of mystery. Guy Ritchie along with a great cast (Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong, Rachel McAdams) did everything they could to make it unusual and interesting. Especially I liked the lines said by Sherlock and other characters.

Mrs. Hudson: I won't go in there by myself, not while he's got a gun in his hand!
Dr. Watson: You don't have to go in there at all.
Mrs. Hudson: What will I do when you leave, doctor? He'll bring the whole house down!
Dr. Watson: He just needs another case, that's all.

Sherlock Holmes: Don't touch. Everything is in its proper place... as per usual, Nanny. 
Mrs. Hudson: Oh, he's killed the dog. Again.
Dr. John Watson: What have you done to Gladstone now? 
Sherlock Holmes: I was simply testing a new anesthetic. He doesn't mind.

Dr. John Watson: Why is the only woman you've cared about a world class criminal? Are you a masochist?

Sherlock Holmes: Whatever he was working on, he obviously succeeded.
Dr. John Watson: How do you know?
Sherlock Holmes: Otherwise, he'd still be alive.

Sherlock Holmes: Un moment, s'il vous plait. (One moment, please)
Dredger: Je ne suis pas pressé. (I'm not in a hurry.)

Holmes: You've never complained about my methods before.
Dr. Watson: I'm not complaining.
Holmes: You're not? What do you call this?
Dr. Watson: I never complain! How am I complaining? When do I ever complain about you practicing the violin at three in the morning, or your mess, your general lack of hygiene, or the fact that you steal my clothes? Holmes: Uh, we have a barter system...
Dr. Watson: When have I ever complained about you setting fire to my rooms?
Holmes: Our rooms...
Dr. Watson: The rooms! Or, or, the fact that you experiment on my dog?
Holmes: Our dog...
Dr. Watson: The dog!  
Holmes: Gladstone is our dog!

Inspector Lestrade: In another life, Mr. Holmes, you would have made a excellent criminal.
Sherlock Holmes: Yes, and you an excellent policeman.

Sir Thomas: Mr. Holmes, apologies for summoning you like this. I'm sure it's quite a mystery as to where you are, and who I am...
Sherlock Holmes: As to where I am, I was, admittedly, lost for a moment, between Charing Cross and Holborn, but I was saved by the bread shop on Saffron Hill. The only baker to use a certain French glaze on their loaves - a Brittany sage. After that, the carriage forked left, then right, and then the tell-tale bump at the Fleet Conduit. And as to who you are, that took every ounce of my not-inconsiderable experience. The letters on your desk were addressed to a Sir Thomas Rotherham. Lord Chief Justice, that would be the official title. Who you really are is, of course, another matter entirely. Judging by the sacred ox on your ring, you're the secret head of the Temple of the Four Orders in whose headquarters we now sit, located on the northwest corner of St. James Square, I think. As to the mystery, the only mystery is why you bothered to blindfold me at all.

Irene Adler: Why are you always so suspicious?
Sherlock Holmes: Should I answer chronologically or alphabetically?

Sherlock Holmes: There is a toxin, refined from the nectar of the rhododendron ponticum. It's quite infamous in the region of Turkey bordering the Black Sea for its ability to induce an apparently mortal paralysis. Enough to deceive even a medical mind as tenacious and well-trained as yours. It's known locally as...
Mary Morstan: What's wrong with Gladstone?
Sherlock Holmes: ...mad honey disease. Oh, he's just demonstrating the very effect I've just described. He doesn't mind.
